Sand Drum (Standard)
The sand drum is constructed with powder-coated mild steel, and features small tabs welded in a helical patten across it’s surface. These tabs release pressure on the finger bar as the drum rotates, releasing material. The helical pattern creates a cross-hatched drop, which ensures an efficient spread of material.
The sand drum is standard across models unless alternate option is specified at the time of ordering.
Salt Drum
The salt drum is constructed with tivar rollers that feature small pockets, milled in a helical pattern across it’s surface. These pockets allow for material to sit inside and drop as the drum rotates past the finger bar. The helical pattern creates a cross-hatched drop, which ensures an efficient spread of material.
The salt drum is recommended only when rock salt will be used exclusively.
Galvanized / Stainless Lid OR Vinyl Soft Cover
Protect material from the elements during operation.
