NEW BLASTRAC BMP-250-X SCARIFIERS OFFER VERSATILITY FOR SURFACE PREPARATION JOBS Oklahoma City, OK – (March 23, 2006) – The new Blastrac® BMP-250-X scarifiers offer versatility for surface preparation jobs. These 10" scarifiers, in gas or electric models, control dust while scarifying, planing, cleaning and resurfacing concrete, asphalt and steel, when used with an appropriate dust collection system. They repair common slab problems and remove coatings, paint, traffic lines, mastics, adhesives and rubberized coatings. Features include a side loading drum that provides access to quick-change drums and cutters, without tipping the machine. Twin-system depth control is fast and accurate for better results. Bearings are sealed for lower maintenance, and a toothed pulley/belt drive system prevents slipping. The Blastrac brand provides more surface preparation technologies and expertise than any other manufacturer: shot blasting, grinding, polishing, scarifying, scraping, milling and cutting. Blastrac equipment is designed for surface preparation of concrete, steel, brick, stone, asphalt and other substrates. Equipment and application training is offered through the Blastrac SPARC program: Surface Preparation Academic Resource Center.
