Spreader with adjustable directional outlet

Abstract

A spreader for spreading materials comprising a case for holding a product to be spread. The case comprising an aperture for ejecting the product to be spread from the case. The spreader further comprising a conveying device for displacing a portion of the product to be spread in a direction towards the aperture. The spreader equally comprising aperture adjustment device for controlling the displacement of an aperture obstruction device relative to an aperture surface of said aperture. The spreader further comprises a speed controller for setting the speed of the conveying device. The spreader comprises as well a blower for projecting the product to be spread, the blower having an inlet and an outlet. The direction of the outlet is adjustable along different angles. The spreader also comprises a angle adjustment system for the outlet of the blower. The inlet of the blower is placed at an angle relative to the aperture of the case.
