AURAND
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about AURAND from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between AURAND palm-grip and D-handle scarifiers?
AURAND palm-grip scarifiers are designed for one-handed operation, typically lighter (e.g., 9 lb) and suitable for smaller cleaning areas (5 to 8 inches). D-handle models provide two-handed control, higher power (up to 2 1/2 hp), and heavier weight (e.g., 18 lb), making them better for larger surfaces and more aggressive material removal. Both types are available in air-powered and electric versions.
Which AURAND cutter bundles are compatible with the M5-1E model?
AURAND cutter bundle part number 90ME is compatible with M5-1E and M5-1EV models. This bundle provides a 12-inch cleaning area and is sold in packs of 4. For the M5-1 and M5-1V models, use part number 90M, which offers an 8-inch cleaning area in packs of 2. Always verify the model number before ordering to ensure correct fit.
Can AURAND electric scarifiers be used with a standard 115V outlet?
Yes, AURAND electric handheld scarifiers, such as the K7-1 model, are designed for 115V AC power. They have a 1/4 hp motor and are suitable for use with standard industrial or construction-site outlets. Ensure the power supply matches the voltage rating and that the circuit can handle the tool's current draw.
What is the typical coverage rate for AURAND air-powered scarifiers?
AURAND air-powered scarifiers, like the KP5E palm-grip model, have a coverage rate of 60 to 90 square feet per hour. This rate depends on surface condition, material being removed, and operator technique. The KP5E has a 3/4 hp motor and an 8-inch cleaning area. Higher-powered D-handle models may achieve faster rates.
Do AURAND scarifiers come with dust shrouds?
Some AURAND scarifier models include a dust shroud, such as the KP5V (palm-grip) and MP6 (D-handle). These shrouds help contain debris during operation, improving visibility and reducing airborne dust. Models without a dust shroud (e.g., KP5E, MP6V) can be used with external dust collection systems if required.
How often should AURAND cutter bundles be replaced?
Replacement frequency depends on usage intensity and material hardness. For heavy-duty applications like removing thick coatings or rust, cutter bundles may need replacement after several hours of continuous use. AURAND cutter bundles are designed for quick change-out to minimize downtime. Inspect cutters regularly for wear and replace when cleaning efficiency decreases.
