5.4.Spreading quantity, distance, thickness and dispersion
The spreading quantity, distance, thickness and dispersion are influenced by various fac-
tors and spreader adjustments. The product to be spread depends on all these factors.
The following factors define the corresponding adjustments:
Spreading quantity: - Moving speed (rotation speed)
- Adjustment of the quantity (flow door)
Spreading thickness: - Moving speed (rotation speed)
- Adjustment of the quantity (flow door)
- Adjustment of the spreading width reducer
Spreading distance: - Moving speed (rotation speed)
- Adjustment of the spreading width reducer
Spreading dispersion: - Adjustment of the projection blades on the spreading disc
- Adjustment of the flow door
To change the corresponding factors the following steps are necessary:
Adjustment of the quantity (flow door)
The mechanical flow door (pair of levers) on the RS centrifugal spreader has a scale
of 0 to 13, with 0 meaning "closed" and 13 "fully open".
At the maximum or optimal adjustment, the stop installed on the scale may be defi-
ned with the butterfly nut in the corresponding scale position so that the maximum
opening may not be exceeded or the optimal opening may be adjusted slightly.
“Limit spreading”
Due to the mechanical separation of the pair of levers (unscrew the assembly
screw),the left and right flow doors of the spreader may be opened or closed separa-
tely. Depending on the adjustment of the left-hand or right-hand flow door, the
spreading dispersion may be offset to the left or the right..
Spreading width reducer
The spreading width reducer limits the projection distance of the product to be
spread. The more the spreading width reducer installed on the hopper is lowered me-
chanically above the surface of the spreading disc, the more the distance and thick-
ness of spreading is limited.
