Scarifiers

Scarifiers are a key addition to your surface preparation arsenal. They are useful and versatile machines for a wide range of jobs. These systems control dust while scarifying, cleaning and resurfacing concrete, asphalt and steel, when used with an appropriate dust collection system.


  - Repair common slab problems: curled joints, high spots, uneven slabs, burned
    areas
  - Remove epoxy coatings, thermoplastic coatings, paint and traffic lines
  - Remove glues and adhesives
  - Level uneven surfaces and trip hazards

Used to remove old floor toppings such as levelling compounds, paints, screeds, epoxy and cement adhesives, scarifying lowers the height of concrete and it is particulary applicable where flexible or paritcularly resilient concrete surfaces are prevalent. Scarifiers are a key addition to your surface preparation arsenal. They are useful and versatile machines for a wide range of jobs. These systems control dust while scarifying, cleaning and resurfacing concrete, asphalt and steel, when used with an appropriate dust collection system.


They are for:

  - Repairing common slab problems: curled joints, high spots, uneven slabs, burned
    areas
  - Removing epoxy coatings, thermoplastic coatings, paint and traffic lines
  - Removing glues and adhesives
  - Levelling uneven surfaces and trip hazards


How Scarifiers Work


Scarifiers are versatile, surface preperation tools used for concrete, asphalt and even steel surfaces. Scarifiers use steel or carbide tipped cutters (in various shapes, depending on application) that are loaded on shafts placed around the perimeter of a cylindrical drum. As the drum rotates, the cutters impact the surface at a high speed, fracturing the coating and/or contaminants and abrading the concrete surface. They are also very useful for preparing problem areas on concrete slabs: burned areas, high spots, curled joints, excessive trowel marks, trip hazards, etc.
