Spotlight on SpreadTec Soil Stabilisation Binding Agent Spreaders

The SpreadTec automatic and manual control range of spreaders consists of trailed single & tandem axle along with truck/ADT chassis mounted models available in 10 – 18 m3 capacity sizes and can achieve spread application rates of 1 kg/m2 to 50 kg/m2 .

“SpreadTec is a dynamic and evolving brand” said David Murphy, MD of SpreadTec. “The design and engineering team are continuously refining the technology through testing and listening to market needs with safety features to the fore” he added.

With an in-house design team who developed the software and electronic control system on the TBM & MBM series, the software features an automatic control system that dynamically adjusts the application rate to the ground speed with weigh cells, for consistent material application rates & control of cement, lime and binding agent materials spread via a metering rotor regulator and auger applicator.

Unique features include operator optimal forward speed & rate guidance control indicator with automated cleaning cycles for each main spreader component. The system can be remotely accessed online to train, debug, monitor and screen shared with SpreadTec or dealer support teams to both diagnose issues and guide the operator when required.

Key features include an intuitive in-cab main control screen, dynamic application rate control, multiple product calibrations, data logging and remote telematic diagnostic support.

SpreadTec's automatic hydro-electrical system incorporates a full suite of hydraulic controls and a vast array of safety interlocks. Every access panel to moving parts has been fitted with an interlock sensor, which does not permit the machine to run unless in the safe closed position.

SpreadTec is solely distributed in the UK by Reeds Construction & Engineering Ltd. Thomas Reed MD said “The unique design of SpreadTec enhances the precision of binder applications for soil stabilisation, which leads to impressive gains for civil engineering projects. Decreasing wastage of binders to increase soil load bearing capacity and improvement of soil for engineered fill. Accuracy is so important when offering value engineering and environmental gain”.

“SpreadTec has already attained a great reputation and has proven its capabilities working on large scale civil engineering projects here in the UK” added Tom.

SpreadTec is exhibiting at ICE EXPO in 24 & 25 May in Punchestown, Ireland at stand 93 - 94 located in the Outdoor Equipment Pavillion.
