2. Machine description
The Blastrac scarifier BMP-335 can be supplied with a 400 volt electric motor (EHY) or with a combustion
engine (GHY). 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 scarifier revolves at +/- 1000 revolutions per minute. (RPM)
The depth of scarifying can be adjusted by the fine adjustment control at the front 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 a 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.
