  • Process for accelerating the wetting of and the application of salt to surfaces
    Patent number: 7819346
    Abstract: The salt slurry clump forming apparatus and process comprise an auger receiving salt and atomized liquid to form a slurry which is deposited on a broadcast spreader to form slurry clumps of generally 0.25? to 1.25? in diameter. Slurry clumps resist movement from roadway and other surfaces by wind and vehicle traffic and deter bonding of ice and snow with a surface. Multiple applications are lessened and road work in removal of ice and snow is facilitated.
