Test and evaluation of footpath and salt spreaders

Danish Technological Institute offers testing of winter maintenance equipment – specifically salt spreaders and sprayers. Our dedicated testing team has extensive experience in testing salt spreaders and other types of spreading equipment, including footpath spreaders.

This expertise ensures that Danish Technological Institute delivers high-quality test results. We test salt spreaders in accordance with EN 15597-2 and have developed a corresponding methodology for testing footpath spreaders.

Whether you require testing of different types of salt for your calibration charts, evaluation of the spread pattern distribution, or reference measurements to compare with your own test methods and facilities, Danish Technological Institute will place our expertise and resources at your disposal, tailored to your specific requirements.

We deliver test reports that serve as powerful tools for documenting and comparing different products. Furthermore, our test results can support your product development. Utilizing our facilities and measuring equipment, we can perform rapid, precise measurements and identify the impact of even minor adjustments to your salt spreaders.
