Scarifying
What is a Scarifier
Scarifiers, also called surface planers or milling machines, remove concrete faster and more aggressively than grinders. That’s because they use the pummeling action of multi-tipped cutting wheels, or flails, that rotate at high speeds to chip away at the concrete surface.
Typical Uses
- include removing coatings (even heavy floor tile mastics and rubbery elastomeric or epoxy materials)
- light or heavy milling,
- grooving walkways to make them slip resistant removing trip hazards in sidewalks
- leveling misaligned concrete joints and uneven surfaces.
