Steel Shotblasting is the preferred method of mechanical preparation that cleans and profiles simultaneously. Shot Blasting strips thin coatings, removes contamination and laitance (soft concrete) to reveal a mechanical profile for improved bonding. This method is achieved by blasting a concrete surface with steel shot (small steel balls) at a high velocity. It is suitable for large and small areas. Shot Blasting delivers high production rates, dust free, dry and cost-effective. Excess shot must be swept-up after blasting and any dust is recovered by a powerful dust collection system.
Steel Shotblasting is the method of surface preparation recommended by most coating manufacturers and floor preparation contractors.
• Shot Blasting eliminates the use of expensive, non-eco friendly, harsh chemicals (muratic acid) and leaves the concrete floor with the desired profile without any chemical residue or time consuming cleanup.
• Shot Blasting is known for high production rates, wide abrasive selection and blast pattern accuracy.
• Shot Blasting lends itself to efficient disposal of dust and other contaminants.
• Shot Blasting can be performed outdoors and indoors.
• Shot Blasting can be accomplished with a ride-on, diesel-powered machine or a walk-behind, electric powered machine.

The SCB-1200 features a removable dust containment box with wheels for ease of dumping. One handed operation controls for raising and lowering heads, speed and shot control. A state of the art blast head design allowing you quick blast wheel changes and a feathered blasting edge, which enables each successive path to overlap without excessive penetration omitting the "striping effect". The finished surface is ideal for thin-set applications or for use with clear coatings along with the power to give you an aggressive shot blast profile when needed. The SCB 1200 comes equipped with the B-1200 Blast Head. The optional accessory attachments are the SC-1200 Scarifying Head and the DG-1225 Diamond Grinding Head complete with diamonds.
After years of research, development and testing, B W Manufacturing, Inc. has produced the only mid-sized ride on shotblast/scarifying machine in the market today. The SCB-1200 gives you mobility and versatility by being able to switch back and forth between blasting, scarifying, and diamond grinding/polishing in just minutes.
