Xzalt Precision Applicator new from HECO
Jun 1, 2011 12:00 PM
Highway Equipment Company (HECO), manufacturer of Hi-Way road maintenance equipment, recently introduced the new Xzalt Precision Applicator. The Xzalt delivers a 70:30 ratio of dry/liquid material, reducing salt usage while accelerating ice melt. The mixed material delivered produces less material bounce and improves adhesion to the road, virtually eliminating over-application on roadside shoulders.
Featuring a directional spinner, the Xzalt broadcasts mixed material on one, two, or three lanes to reduce time, fuel, and miles traveled. The Force America SSC6100 Spreader Control has been engineered to work with the Xzalt, offering features such as a pre-defined setting that temporarily widens the swath width to cover a turn lane or intersection, or it can be programmed to switch from multiple lanes to a single lane in case of oncoming traffic.
Other features of the Xzalt include a precision directional spinner system that is adjusted by the operator from the cab; an enclosed chute with adjustable height to fit various trucks; and sensors equipped at the spinner, liquid pump, and conveyor to eliminate guesswork in application rates or controller settings. Maintenance-friendly features of the Xzalt also include sealed bearings, a one-piece conveyor belt, and 304 stainless steel components.
