Abstract
A spreader plate assembly for a pumped source of sand, water and rocks. Includes a generally horizontal plate spaced upstanding threaded rods affixed integrally with the plate, a splash guard affixed to the plate and located adjacent to a predetermined edge portion. An angled pipe receiving end attached to a pipe line containing slurry under pressure and an exiting end dispose above the plate located forward of the guard. Spaced arms extend horizontally from the exit end of the pipe and having collars slide on respective rods. Nuts are threaded below and above each collar, for adjusting distance between the exit end and plate to adjust the slurry output. Nuts adjust the collars to be equidistant from the plate, or the nuts on the forward rod can be adjusted to increase the distance of its collar from the plate to control the angle and control the direction of slurry.
