Buyers Products 3063672 – Inverted Vee Deflector for Salt Spreaders

Protect Your Spreader and Optimize Performance

Maximize the lifespan and efficiency of your salt spreader with the Buyers Products 3063672 Inverted Vee Deflector. This essential component is engineered to solve one of the most common challenges in material spreading: the immense, compacting weight of salt, sand, or other de-icing materials inside the hopper. By creating a ‘bridge’ over the conveyor system, the inverted vee deflects the direct downward pressure, significantly reducing the strain on your spreader’s most critical moving parts. This simple yet brilliant design prevents material from packing down onto the chain or auger, which not only protects the motor from overload but also ensures a smoother, more consistent flow of material from the start of the job to the end.

Engineered for Unrelenting Durability

When you’re battling harsh winter conditions, you need equipment that won’t fail. The 3063672 Inverted Vee Deflector is constructed from heavy-gauge steel, providing the structural integrity needed to support hundreds of pounds of abrasive material day in and day out. To combat the highly corrosive nature of salt and brine, it features a tough, corrosion-resistant powder-coat finish. This dual-layer of protection ensures that the deflector withstands rust and wear, offering years of reliable service. Investing in this component is a direct investment in the longevity of your entire spreader, minimizing downtime and costly repairs to the drive train, motor, and conveyor assembly. As a genuine OEM part from Buyers Products, you can be confident in its precise fit and performance within compatible spreader models.

Improve Material Flow and Reduce Clogging

Beyond protecting your hardware, this inverted vee plays a crucial role in operational efficiency. By preventing material from compacting, it virtually eliminates the risk of bridging and clogging that can halt your work and require manual intervention. The deflector channels the material to the sides of the hopper, allowing it to feed evenly onto the conveyor. This results in a more uniform spread pattern and gives you greater control over your application rates, saving material and improving results. Whether you are outfitting a new spreader or replacing a worn component, this part is a vital piece of the system.
