When you have to remove a layer of asphalt, concrete, or cement, or you need to create a heavy concrete surface profile, our Airtec scarifiers will provide the results you’re looking for. Also called milling machines or surface planers, these machines can grind or shave the top layer of concrete or asphalt using heavy cutting wheels to clear away the existing surface.
Scarifiers are equipped with powerful motors and tungsten carbide or steel cutting wheels to rapidly chip away at a concrete or asphalt surface or to “chew” heavy mastic or rubber coatings. While floor grinders remove the very thin layer of concrete to leave a smooth area and shot blasters leave a moderately textured surface, there’s more control over the cutting depth of a scarifier and a much rougher surface profile.
Scarifiers are often used to prepare a concrete or asphalt surface that is severely damaged as these machines quickly cut up the top layer in order to remove the damage. Once complete, a fresh layer of concrete or asphalt can be laid down. Other uses for a concrete scarifier include:
We carry Airtec scarifiers as these Swiss-made machines offer the precision, power, and durability our clients look for. Whether you need a lightweight scarifier to scabble concrete sidewalks and small areas or a larger machine to tackle large areas of infrastructure, an Airtec scarifier has the performance you’re looking for.
When you need to resurface a parking area or driveway, or you have to remove or apply a thick coating to a concrete surface, a scarifier is often the right machine for the job.
