Operating Manual BMP-320
General
The Blastrac scarifier of the range of BMP-320 will be supplied,
dependent on your request, with an electrical motor 400 V or with a
internal combustion engine.
The scarifiers BMP-320, with a working width of 320 mm, are rugged
machines can be set in on any surface. The BMP-320 can reach an
output of 100 m² per hour dependent on the surface: concret, steel,
stone, wood or asphalt. You can adjust the working depth
progressively and so precise that the surface will be treated with care.
The scarifiers BMP-320 are very versatile and with the appropriate
flailes they can be set in for example for the following works:
•To roughen concrete
•To clean any surface
•To scarify coatings
•To corrugate concrete surfaces
•To derust metal surfaces, e.g. ship's decks and Tanks
•To descale
The coefficient of performance of the flailes can be fully used through
the progressively deep adjustment and the surface will be treated with
care.
A specially designed dust collection system ensures nearly dust-free
operation of the machine and clean air at the workspace. Blastrac
uses specially designed dust collection systems which guarantee a
high cleaning level.
3.4 Control box
The control box is equipped with a push button "ON", and a
emergency shutdown switch.
On Switch
The ON push button is located on the control box (Fig. 3.1, Item.5).
Before switching on the machine the scarifier must be lifted with quick
lift lever in order to prevent a start or rather a run out of the motor
under full load.
