110V FLOOR SCARIFIER/PLANER

Bartell Global BEF200N 200MM (8") Scarifier: Precision Surface Preparation for Small to Medium Jobs

The Bartell Global BEF200N is a highly productive and user-friendly 200mm (8-inch) concrete scarifier (also known as a planer or shaver), renowned for its rigid and compact design. As part of Bartell Global's industry-leading range of surface preparation equipment, the BEF200N has been a trusted workhorse on job sites worldwide for over 30 years. This versatile machine is perfect for general surface preparation, coating removal, and texturing on small to medium-sized concrete, asphalt, and other hard surfaces.

Features

• Optimal 200mm (8") Working Width: The compact working width makes the BEF200N exceptionally agile and ideal for precise work in confined areas, along edges, or for jobs where a larger machine would be impractical.
• Rigid, Compact Design: The robust, welded steel construction ensures extreme durability and minimal vibration during operation. Its compact footprint makes it easy to transport, manoeuvre, and store, fitting through standard doorways.
• Choice of Power Options:
  • Electric (110V or 230V Single-Phase): Powered by a robust 3hp (2.2kW) electric motor, these variants are perfect for indoor use or sites with readily available power, offering quiet, emission-free operation.
  • Petrol (Honda GX160): Equipped with a powerful and reliable Honda GX160 petrol engine (Gross 5.5hp / 4kW; Net 4.8hp / 3.6kW). This option provides complete autonomy and is suitable for outdoor use or sites without access to electricity.
• Quick-Lift Mechanism: Features an intuitive "Quick-lift" system that allows the operator to quickly raise or lower the cutters in and out of the cut without altering the pre-set cutting depth. This enhances control, speeds up work, and prevents damage to the surface when starting or stopping.
• Locking Fine-Adjust Wheel: A precise screw-type adjustment wheel at the handle allows for micro-adjustments to the cutting depth. This enables operators to precisely control the aggression of the cut, ensuring a consistent finish and avoiding excessive material removal.
• Integrated Dust Extraction Port: Equipped with a 50mm (2") dust extraction port. When connected to a suitable industrial vacuum or dust collector (like Bartell Global's own dust extractors), this allows for virtually dust-free operation, significantly improving site safety, cleanliness, and compliance with health regulations (especially concerning silica dust).
• Large Diameter Wheels: Fitted with large-diameter wheels that provide excellent mobility and stability, allowing for smooth travel across uneven surfaces and easy manoeuvrability around the job site.
• Durable Cutter Drums and Tooling: The BEF200N utilises robust cutter drums (often called cages or drums) that can be fitted with various interchangeable tooling options (sold separately from Bartell Global) to suit specific applications:
  • Carbide Tipped Cutters (TCT): For aggressive reduction, scabbling, planing, grooving, and removal of thick coatings, road markings, and concrete laitance.
  • Milling Cutters: For finer removal or texturing.
  • Star Cutters: For specific texturing or preparation.
  • Diamond Blades: Can be fitted for precision grooving or light grinding applications.
• Firm Engine Mounting Plate: Ensures the engine or motor is securely mounted, minimizing vibration and maximizing power transfer to the cutting drum.
• Front Wheels Protected from Debris: Designed to prevent debris from accumulating around the front wheels, ensuring smooth movement and consistent depth control.
• Height Adjustment at the Handle: Allows the operator to set the handle to a comfortable working height, reducing fatigue during prolonged use.
• Close-to-Wall Working Distance: Designed to work relatively close to walls (typically around 50-60mm / 2-2.4 inches, depending on power source), reducing the need for extensive hand grinding in edges.

Applications

The Bartell Global BEF200N Scarifier is an indispensable tool for a wide range of surface preparation tasks:

• Concrete Surface Preparation: Cleaning, texturing, and preparing concrete for new coatings, overlays, or sealers.
• Coating Removal: Efficiently removing old paint, epoxy, glues, adhesives, floor coverings, and other brittle coatings.
• Concrete Reduction & Scabbling: Reducing levels of concrete, removing concrete laitance (weak surface layer), and roughening surfaces for better bonding.
• Line Marking Removal: Effectively removing old paint or thermoplastic line markings from roads, car parks, and industrial floors.
• Grooving Applications: Creating anti-slip grooves on concrete or asphalt for improved traction.
• Asphalt Preparation: Texturing asphalt surfaces for repairs or overlays.
• Cleaning: Removing stubborn grease, oil, dirt, and other contaminants from hard surfaces.
• Industrial & Commercial Flooring: Maintenance and renovation of various floor types.
