425-Brine Maker

Deicing Depot’s 425-gallon batch brine maker is a no-nonsense approach to making brine. Capable of making 425 gallons of brine every 30 minutes with a Gould’s 120-v 2-hp steel pump, batch makers reduce initial cost of ownership and provide a simple way of making brine time and time again. It features powder-coated steel construction for long-term durability in a corrosive environment and a heavy-duty poly tank that can accommodate bag material and a small loader like a Bobcat bucket. These are also available in gas operation for sites without electricity.
