EpoTherm EpoTherm is Epoke’s system for automatically adjusting the spreading amount based on ongoing measurements of the road’s surface temperature. EpoTherm is easily activated by a few button presses on the EpoMaster X1 remote control. EpoTherm functions as an independent unit and as an integrated part of the complete Epoke Computer Assisted Spreading software solution. With traditional spreading, the driver assesses the current weather and road conditions and then sets the spreading amount based on his experience and knowledge. This means there is always a risk that too much or too little salt is applied per m2. Too little salt compromises road safety and too much salt increases costs and the impact on the environment. EpoTherm reduces the element of risk because the system itself adjusts the spreading amount on the basis of all changes in the road temperature. Four pre-set weather types EpoTherm constantly monitors the road’s surface temperature. It is a fully automatic, simple and user-friendly solution, which the driver can use after a very brief introduction. At the start of the route, all the driver has to do is choose one of four pre-set weather types. EpoTherm will then adjust the spreading amount based on the variations in the road temperature during the entire operation.
