FC 500-2000

The Ficon FC 500-2000 is a bed-mounted brine spreader, available in several sizes to suit a wide range of vehicles and applications. It can be used in various ways to combat ice and snow, and also for agricultural purposes in summer.

The design aims for the greatest possible liquid capacity on machines and vehicles in the European market. The durable, lightweight poly tanks are supported by a powder-coated stainless steel frame, and the pump and CPU unit are protected inside an easily accessible stainless steel housing. The spreader is supplied with a two-metre-wide spray bar or a hose reel with a hand-held spray nozzle.

It comes as standard with 12 V twin pumps, triple-jet nozzles and a controller that lets the driver operate the spreader and its functions from the cab. GPS speed control adjusts the liquid quantity (ml/m²) to the speed, and the manufacturer states 20 ml/m² at max. 25 km/h. The 2 m spray bar has twin nozzles (7 + 7) and nozzles at the ends of the bar for extended spray width. Filling is via a 2" camlock coupling. Older production models have an extra tank for flushing and cleaning the spray system with antifreeze; on newer models, a hose is connected to the antifreeze inlet and the system is flushed with pressurised tap water or an antifreeze mixture. The HTrack tracking system is compatible with all Ficon electric spreaders.
