Concrete Scarifiers for Heavy-Duty Surface Preparation

Scarifiers, also known as concrete planers, milling machines, or scabblers, are built for aggressive surface prep. These machines remove coatings, adhesives, grease, line markings, rust, and more from concrete or asphalt.

Unlike grinders, scarifiers use rotating drums with carbide or diamond cutters to mill down surfaces with adjustable depth control, making them ideal for creating a textured finish before applying new coatings or overlays.

Key Features:

• Adjustable depth for controlled material removal
• Available in electric, gas, and pneumatic models
• Built-in dust ports or vacuum connections
• Walk-behind and handheld options for any scale of job
• Compatible with surface prep accessories and dust extractors

Common Applications:

• Floor prep before epoxy or polishing
• Removing paint, markings, and adhesives
• Leveling uneven or damaged concrete
• Industrial and warehouse flooring
• Surface roughening for better adhesion
