ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and method for depositing salt granular materials upon a highway pavement at practical speeds. The deposition forms two narrow bands of the salt through utilization of two impeller-based mechanisms which are canted downwardly at an acute angle toward the pavement. The dump bed of trucks utilizing the apparatus is maintained in a down orientation through the utilization of a salt transport mechanism implemented as dual augers extending the length of the truck bed. Two embodiments of the apparatus are described each being self-contained and mountable upon a truck bed with relative ease. In one embodiment, a brine formation tank of generally triangular cross-sectional configuration is combined with a brine holding tank to form the sides of a V-box hopper structure. The brine formation tank is charged with salt and water to form a saturated brine which is permitted to migrate through a baffling system to the brine holding tank. A liquid pump system then drives the liquid to a cross auger apparatus wherein auger components are used as the mixing mechanism for adding brine to granular salt prior to its ejection to form the continuous narrow bands which are effective to attack the ice/pavement bond typically encountered on winter highways. The second embodiment utilizes the full capacity of the dump bed in conjunction with hydraulically biased contractor assemblies to move salt into a bed auger assembly.
