Nozzle spreading

Nozzle spreading, also called high-speed spreading, is Falköping's solution for gritting at higher speeds than a traditional disc spreader allows. Combination spreaders in the CLC series and liquid spreaders in the CL series can be equipped with spreading nozzles that supplement the spreading disc. The nozzles engage automatically when the truck is driving at higher speed, so that the spread pattern is maintained while the spreading width can be increased to 13 metres.

With nozzle equipment, the spreaders can spread at up to 80 km/h (CLRK-15H) and 90 km/h (CLC series), compared with a maximum spreading speed of 60 km/h for standard CLC and CL models. Higher spreading speed gives shorter treatment times and less obstruction of other traffic. Nozzle spreaders for liquid are available in various versions; the CLRK-15H model has a 14.5 m³ liquid volume, 2300 kg unladen weight, a spread rate of 10–20/40 g/m² and a spreading width of 3–13 m.

The spreaders have accurate dosing with a diaphragm pump, are zinc-metallised with primer and 2-component topcoat, and are available in various body lengths. Hydraulic nozzle lift is available as an option. Width and rate are infinitely variable, set from Falköping's control system in sync with the driving speed; the system is prepared for data collection, GPS and GSM transfer. The equipment can be supplied on combination and liquid spreaders from Falköping.
