DOT District Two – Salt Chute for Dump Body Rear Mounted Spinners

This solution improves efficiency by applying material where it works best and also reduces the amount of material used; saving money and reducing environmental impact.

Thank you to our judges: Tony Amaral – Town of Simsbury, Bill Dwinnells – Town of Bethel, Mose Saccary – Town of New Canaan, and Tim Webb – Town of Ellington- for their hard work and support. The winning solutions were highlighted at the 2013 Technology Transfer Expo here in Storrs on September 18th and received recognition at this year’s Graduation and Awards Ceremony on October 24th.
