IMS Series
Intelligent Mobile Spreading
Intelligence and automation for flawless precision and sustainability, the IMS Series uses innovative components and state-of-the-art technologies for the maximum spreading accuracy. One clever science, the OptiWet® distribution system hides an array of engineering masterpieces for the perfect mixture and spreading pattern at any speed. Only when the perfect amount of salt is spread in the perfect pattern can de-icing become sustainable and eco-friendly.

Millions of tons of salt are used each year for the de-icing operations of traffic surfaces. Such quantities of salt not only take a huge part of your winter maintenance budget, it also contaminates the ground water and damages the environment. IMS offers the precision of a homogenous mixture of salt and brine without saturation and automatically adjusted to the situation, the FS-Adaptive®.
Because differences in road conditions, changes in velocity, spreading width and spreading density must all be taken into consideration to achieve the perfect de-icing, IMS gives you an automated system to achieve the perfect spreading regardless of the conditions. The driver can focus onto traffic while the intelligent spreading technology takes care of achieving the perfect de-icing job.
The state-of-the-art engineering of the OptiWet® concept also includes the spreader direction adjustment via a slewing ring where the dry salt is falling into the elbow tube. This development ensures the direction of the mixture isn't changed and that the lateral distribution can be done at any position.

Our experience and know-how in the fields of de-icing have led us to understand that the perfect spreading pattern, the best thawing effect and the most accurate lateral distribution can only be reached if the percentage of brine is adjusted to the spreading density
The result of the automatic FS-Adaptiv® is a perfect mixture for a perfect spreading regardless of the salt density
Lower density of salt requires more brine for a better adhesion
Higher density of salt requires less brine for a higher thawing action
The V-shaped design of the salt compartment of the IMS is specially built to optimize the feeding of the salt. On both sides of the compartment, are the brine tank used for the FS-Adaptiv®.
Years of experience with the de-icing of traffic surfaces have led us to one conclusion: prevention of the formation of ice is only efficient with a fully liquid solution. A 100% solution of brine is spread on the surface before the freezing occures, the solution will stick to the ground until temperature drops, evaporating the water and leaving on the surface the small particle of salt to prevent the formation of ice. Today with the patented Boschung FlexiWet®, install the flexible bag directly into your salt tank and use the same spreader adapted to all winter requirments.
More savings with the ThermoMAT
Save
up to 30%
thawing agent using the ThermoMAT
Weather conditions can change extremely fast. Adjusting the spreading density to the actual road surface condition while your are doing the job will allow you to save up to 30% thawing agent. The highly precise infrared sensor of the ThermoMAT measures the road surface temperature while spreading is happening. The high speed detection allow a quick reaction and automatic adjustment of the spreading density.
Intuitive, sophisticated and touchscreen operating system with voice guidance
Available in various versions, with joystick, rotary knobs and more, the Vpad is a simplified interface controlling nearly every aspects of your spreading experience.
