Husky L

high-value city sprayers for narrow track vehicles

Brine tank capacity from 500 litres up to 2,100 litres

The city sprayers of the Husky L range have an optimised container design which makes them ideal for mounting on a wide variety of municipal carrier vehicles.

The Husky L range of spraying units are intended purely for spreading brine. The brine tank is made of HD-PE (High Density PolyEthylene) with a wall thickness of 10 mm. The brine is precisely metered by the Husky L spreader unit on to the spreader disc to be spread across a width of 6 metres.

Technology

Modern pre-wetted salt technology

The new ECO pre-wetted salt technology from Bucher Municipal creates significant advantages in terms of economy. The low sidewall height of the Husky L range ensures that the driver has perfect, all round visibility. The low centre of gravity ensures safe driving and handling characteristics even in extreme conditions.

Reliability

Reliable and performant spreaders

The gritting machines of the Husky L range are renowned for their excellent reliability, first-class service and attractive price-performance ratio. The excellent equipment finish and the use of tried-and-tested components are further proof of the great technical expertise built into our machines.

Performance

High quality and long lifetime

The high proportion of stainless steel ensures even the basic amenities for a long lifetime of the spreaders (spreader unit holder, spreader disc and all fasteners are in stainless steel). The plastic gear pump is also long-life and low-maintenance.

LED work light

The LED work light is mounted by the spreading group and provides very bright white lighting in the work area. The housing is dust- and damp-proof.

Mechanical demounting system (500 kg) with hand crank

(standard) Optional mechanical or hydraulic demounting systems for setting down the loaded gritting machines are also available.

Liquid salt pump unit

The plastic gear pump promotes the brine to the spreading disc and is long-life and low-maintenance. The liquid salt pump unit has a high delivery rate (190 ltr/min at 45 ltr hydraulic oil).

Brine tank

The brine tank is made of HD-PE (High Density PolyEthylene) with a wall thickness of 10 mm. The brine tanks are available in various sizes.

Rotary beacon (optional)

The rotary beacon is available on request in various flashing and strobe lighting systems.

Equipment box

The equipment box offers optimum protection for the hydraulic block, the junction box and the black box. The box is made of steel and damp-proof sealing.

Spreader distributor

The spreader distributor distributes the brine on the street and is consisting of a stainless steel spreader disc with a special plastic cone and a plastic spreader cover.

Control unit Ecosat (optional)

Latest generation microprocessor control systems for all kind of spreaders, with maximum flexibility in programming and visualising the different spreading parameters: width, asymmetry and dosage depending on the vehicle speed. Six different tools in all-in-one control box.

Electronic spread pattern programmer (optional)

A powerful servomotor and a potentiometer enable the symmetric and asymmetric setting of the spreading pattern with using the control panel. The servomotor is waterproof to IP 67 protection rating.

Sensor technology

Only available together with the Ecosat control panel. This compares the set-point and actual values of the spreader disc and the liquid salt pump. The sensors aresealed to IP 67 protection rating.

Swing-up spreader unit

The spreader unit can swing up for trailer operation when the spreader is mounted. Easy operation assisted by gas spring.

Pouring hose with hose reel (optional)

On request a pouring hose with hand spray gun and hose reel can be mounted.

Control unit Ecosat

Latest generation microprocessor control systems for all kind of spreaders, with maximum flexibility in programming and visualising the different spreading parameters: width, asymmetry and dosage depending on the vehicle speed. Six different tools in all-in-one control box.

Ecosat has an integrated GSM/GPRS module (option) which enables operational data transmission. In case of bad coverage (e.g. tunnels) the data are logged and will be transmitted as soon as the connection is back.

Ecosat integrates (option) a multi-constellation GNSS receiver which supports GPS or GLONASS improving the localisation performance in terms of accuracy, continuity, availability, and reliability.

The Ecosat stores daily operational reports and global counters which can be downloaded or printed via serial connection.

A serial connection between the infrared sensor and the Ecosat allows automatic changing of the spreading dosage based on the road temperature.

The Route-Replay is based on pre-defined geo-referenced spreading parameters settings uploaded on the EcoSat before the operation and used automatically during the mission relying on an enhanced positioning. The driver is guided by means of vocal and visual messages which show the road section already treated as well as the section that still has to be done. It is possible to exit from any pre-set route and re-entry at any point along the section.

On spreaders with electrical control of asymmetry, this function provides full control of the direction of spreading. The screen display varies according to the type of asymmetry: with or without feedback. 5 pre-set positions can be selected.

In this section of the working area, it is possible to monitor the level material in the tanks, the solid quantity in the hopper and also the fuel level (only for equipment with auxiliary engine).

The vehicle speed can be simulated from 5 to 90Km/h in steps of 5. This feature is useful when there is no tachometer connection, when the connection is damaged or when the spreader has to work while the vehicle is not moving.

Alternative control unit EcoTron

The EcoTron control panel unit is characterised by its compact dimensions and high-resolution graphics display. The EcoTron performs sensor-based and monitoring of distance-dependent screw conveyor speeds and pump speeds, and also saves all relevant working data. A serial USB interface port is available for easy exporting of data.

Compact dimensions: Width 175 mm, Height 115 mm, Depth 65 mm.

Two rotary knobs with precise click-in positions.

Large colour display 95 mm x 55 mm, dimmable.

Enlarged display area if the quantity to be spread or the width of spread changes.

Simple and secure adjustment of the most important spreading parameters: Metering width and asymmetry.

Backlight function keys for secure operation of the main functions even under bad lighting conditions.

User-friendly control interface which presents all the important information in a clearly structured format - optimum design based the latest best practice.

Continuous recording all working data together with the overall information can be exported to an external storage medium (UBS stick) via the serial interface port.
