AURAND
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about AURAND from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between AURAND D-handle and palm-grip scarifiers?
AURAND scarifiers are offered in two handle configurations. D-handle models, such as the MP6, MP6V, and M5-1EV, are designed for two-handed operation and are available with 8-inch or 12-inch cleaning areas. Palm-grip models, such as the K7-1 and K7-1E, are lighter at approximately 9 lb and use a one-handed grip with a 5-inch or 8-inch cleaning area. The choice depends on the surface area to be prepared, the level of control required, and whether the operator needs a free hand. D-handle units generally provide more leverage for larger areas, while palm-grip units suit smaller or overhead work.
Which AURAND cutter bundle fits my scarifier model?
Cutter bundles are model-specific. The 674E bundle fits K7-1E, K7-1EV, KP5E, and KP5EV models and provides an 8-inch cleaning area. The 2-pack bundle for M5-1 and M5-1V models also provides an 8-inch cleaning area. The 4-pack bundle for M5-1E and M5-1EV models provides a 12-inch cleaning area. Each bundle includes cotter pins, felt washers, and square hole washers. Confirm the manufacturer part number of your scarifier before ordering, as cleaning area and bundle count differ by model.
What power options are available for AURAND scarifiers?
AURAND scarifiers are available with pneumatic or electric power. Air-powered models, such as the MP6 and MP6V, use a 2 1/2 hp air motor and are suited to environments where compressed air is available. Corded electric models operate on 115V AC; examples include the K7-1 and K7-1E palm-grip units with a 1/4 hp motor, and the M5-1EV D-handle unit with a 12-inch cleaning area. The selection depends on site utilities, portability requirements, and the surface preparation task.
Do AURAND scarifiers include dust control features?
Some AURAND scarifier models are supplied with a dust shroud to assist with dust control during surface preparation. For example, the MP6 air-powered D-handle scarifier and the M5-1EV corded D-handle scarifier are listed with a dust shroud included. The presence of a dust shroud is noted in the product specifications for each model. Where dust control is required, confirm the specific model's included accessories before ordering, as not all configurations include a shroud.
What surfaces and coatings can AURAND scarifiers remove?
AURAND scarifiers are used to remove coatings, rust, scale, adhesives, and debris from concrete, steel, and other hard surfaces. The cutting action is mechanical, using replaceable cutter bundles to chip and lift material from the surface. Typical applications include preparing concrete for repair or coating, removing rust and mill scale from steel, and stripping adhesives or floor coatings. The achievable result depends on the cutter bundle condition, the scarifier model, and the material being removed. For specific removal depth or profile requirements, consult the equipment specifications and test on a representative area.
