Scarification
works by using steel and or carbide star shaped cutters mounted in rows with
several rows around the perimeter of a rotating drum. The cutters come in
several sizes and variations for different applications. With this drum machines
can remove between 1/4 inch and 2 inches in a single pass. Scarifiers are most
often seen in the road construction business. They can be used for the removal
of asphalt roads traffic lines, grinding down high spots and grooving the
surface. Scarification is very effective in removal of old coating and
resurfacers.
Cost of wear items such as cutters and supporting cages result in a high cost per square foot than most other removal methods and is of moderate speed in terms of operation.
