Aggregrate Spreader

The Aggregate Spreader is a commonly selected optional equipment item and is considered a major option, along with the Ausroad™ multi purpose full width paving and edging unit and the Ausroad™ road broom.

The aggregate spreader enables emulsion spraying and aggregate sealing to be completed in one pass. The full width aggregate spreader is located immediately behind the rear truck wheels and at a constant height from the road, this means that it is always in position for immediate use.

Whilst using the aggregate spreader the hopper does not have to be elevated, it remains fixed giving better vision, stability (important whilst sealing in hilly conditions, sharp corners and steeply cambered roads) and reduces the risk of hitting trees, signage etc particularly in ‘built up’ areas.  Clearance is improved when sealing close to trees and buildings.

The Ausroad™ aggregate spreader features a split auger (or 2 augers) each driven independently by separate hydraulic motors which ensures a constant even feed of aggregate when the box is offset from the truck.

Ausroad™ Spray Bar

The spray bar allows variable width emulsion spraying and is fully operational
from the cab. It is generally fitted with the aggregrate spreader.

  • Standard 8 nozzle 2400 wide
  • Adjustable in 300mm increments
  • Cab controls to all functions – control of divisions of spray bar and aggregate spreader now fitted in cab.

The spray rate is adjusted during commissioning of the Jetmaster unit. Generally this is worked out in combination with truck speed and operators advised of correct spray seal speed. An advantage of the ‘Aggregate Optimizer’ is that the aggregate rate can be varied independently of truck speed. This allows any combination of spray rate and aggregate application.
