Scrabbling (Von-arx)
This is a system of flails loosely mounted on a rotating drum which hammer and scratch the surface to obtain the desired effect. You can choose amoungst the flail types available and vary their composition such as, Tungsten Carbide Tip flails for roughening and cleaning concrete and asphalt floor. Beam flails for the removal of paint coatings, Milling flails for soft and hard grade floor materials, Star flails for the removal of rust and scale, Square flails for the removal of brittle and hardened coatings and fine and course brushes for careful treatment of surfaces are all available.
Vacuum Assisted Shot Blasting (Blastrac)
This system will propel an abrasive at a high velocity from a blast wheel onto the floor surface. The blasting action is contained within a work chamber fitted with a unique combination of seals which ensure efficient recovery of the abrasive via a separation section of the abrasive storage hopper. The linked dust collector ensures a dust free operation leaving a textured concrete. The substrate is mechanically prepared and will provide a key to all screeds and toppings. Laitance can be removed to yield a tougher and highly acceptable surface.
STR 701 Multipurpose Preparation
The STR 701 is a rotary preparation machine. Simple, safe, comfortable to operate and highly effective. Low noise levels (64 DB) along with complete absence of fumes, vibration and dust make the STR 701 the ideal machine for refurbishment and renovation. Grinding heads have been developed to solve the many problems faced on site. The range includes Tungsten Carbide diamond and Silicon Carbide attachments together with a comprehensive range of brushes. The STR 701 can be operated dust free when connected to a vacuum.
