Disc spreader with a discharge shaft

Abstract

A disc spreader for distributing distributed material is proposed, comprising a supply container for accommodating the distributed material, with a discharge opening, a dosing element, downstream from the discharge opening of the supply container, having a dosing opening, and a spreader disc that is situated below the dosing opening and rotatable about a rotational axis. A discharge shaft that encloses at least a circumferential section of the dosing opening extends downwardly from the dosing opening in the direction of the spreader disc to protect the falling distributed material from external influences. The invention provides that the discharge shaft at its free end facing the spreader disc extends essentially completely around the dosing opening, with the discharge shaft having a passage, used for pressure compensation, in the area of its end facing away from the spreader disc.
