Question:
Can I use different material sizes like pellets, flakes, or fine salt in the ME26FR or ME98FR? Are there screens or auger options for fine stuff?
asked by: Carla
Expert Reply:
Yes Carla, but with caution. Meyer recommends free-flowing, dry materials for all models. On the Blaster models # ME98FR and # ME48FR, you do have accessory options: a hopper screen # ME29FR for 2" x 2", or # ME56FR for 1/2 " x 1/2" and a fine salt auger kit # ME38FR or fine-material brush auger kit # ME49FR to help handle smaller granules.
Which product do you plan to spread - rock salt, flake, magnesium, or something custom? I can help you choose the right screen or auger to match.
