Features
Each feature was driven by a real problem — uneven coverage, wasted salt, or the risk of slipping while trying to salt the driveway.
Curved fins distribute salt evenly across a wide arc using centrifugal force.
Disk speed can be varied through motor control to adjust spread distance.
A spiral agitator connected to the disk ensures consistent material flow.
Salt is fed gradually onto the disk, preventing clumping and over-release.
Designed to sit at the edge of a driveway or elevated porch without installation.
Eliminates the need to walk on icy surfaces during application.
Fully 3D-printed housing allows rapid prototyping and easy modification.
Currently operated through an Arduino interface, with potential for standalone control.
