The Stratos Lava spreader series can be deployed whenever de-icing with conventional spreading agents is not practical due to extreme conditions. The Lava application guarantees lasting friction levels on the road surface by using heated water and gritting agents such as sand or split (small stones). Icy and slippery roads on packed snow, where wet salt, brine and dry salt no longer have any effect, are made passable thanks to the Stratos Lava.
Highlights
A permanently non-slip surface in the case of packed snow and ice
Proven Stratos components combined with the improved Lava system
Sand-water mixture of up to 90° degrees
ES control system with dedicated Lava menu
A fully automated glycol-based frost protection with air press draining
Your benefits
Long-lasting safety: After treatment, the road surface maintains its grip for at least a week under even the most extreme conditions.
Very large radius of action: Thanks to the large content volume of the spreader and the highly efficient spreading processes, a very large radius of action is possible.
Easy service: All relevant components, such as heating units and hydraulic blocks, are easily accessible.
The Lava principle
In addition to the normal grit hopper and distribution system, the Stratos Lava has a heating unit and side-mounted liquid tanks with integrated baffles, which are made of impact-proof polyethylene. This makes it suitable for normal winter road maintenance as well as for operating in the most extreme conditions.
