1.0 BRIEF DESCRIPTION
The RINK DS550SP Disc Spreader is used for spreading small-grained materials, such as
sand, gravel and so on. The disc spreader of the conveyor belt is driven by a gear with a
hydraulic motor. The two disc spreaders are each driven by one hydraulic motor. The speed
sensor of the hydraulic motors for the conveyor belt and the disc spreaders are connected
through an adjustable flow regulator. The spreading material can therefore be accurately
regulated. Spreading width and rate can be determined by vehicle speed, spreading disc and
belt conveyor speed.
