MATERIAL DELIVERY
Material is delivered by a heavy-duty, powder coated, horizontal steel auger to provide long-lasting, reliable performance. When an obstruction occurs, the transverse auger delivery system can reduce downtime by automatically backing itself in and out until the obstruction is cleared or a required adjustment has been made.

DUAL ELECTRIC MOTORS
Two instant-start, 12-volt electric motors provide quiet, reliable, independent control over the auger and spinner mechanisms. The spinner motor is sealed inside a weather-resistant housing, protecting it from corrosion.
