2. Machine description
The Blastrac scarifier BMP-215 can be supplied with a 110V, 230V or 400 volt electric motor or with a
combustion engine. The intended use of this scarifier is to roughen up existing horizontal surfaces and
removing coatings. It can be used on almost any surface (concrete, asphalt, stone and steel). The machine
may not be used for other purposes. The manufacturer will not be liable for damage resulting from incorrect
usage, in these cases the user assumes all risks.
The drum of the scarifiers revolves at +/- 1700 revolutions per minute. (RPM)
The depth of scarifying can be adjusted by the fine adjustment control on the handle of the machine; by this
means it is possible to treat the surface with light or heavy cuts as is required.
The machine may not be used without an adequate dust extraction system. A specially designed Blastrac dust
collection system ensures dust-free operation of the machine and clean air at the workspace.
Application
The scarifier is a very versatile machine and with the appropriate cutters it may be used for the following
applications.
To roughen concrete
To clean most horizontal surfaces
To remove coatings
To corrugate concrete surfaces
To remove road markings
To make non-slip surfaces
The force of impact of a cutter is controlled by the depth
adjustment. With the right depth adjustment, the best performance
is obtained to give the desired result.
With a suitable Blastrac dust collector work can be carried out
without causing excessive dust in the work area, this raises the life
span of the machine and protects the health of the personnel.
