As a total solutions provider and partner, with local presence all over the world, Husqvarna Construction states it now has a solution for any surface preparation job. “Adding the important shot blasting application under the Husqvarna brand to our existing surface preparation solutions - such as floor grinding, scarifying and scraping – represents an important milestone in our goal to support our customers with any surface preparation challenge they may face,” said Stijn Verherstraeten, senior vice president Concrete Surfaces & Floors at Husqvarna Construction.

Shot blasting as a method enables effective cleaning and retexturing of concrete and asphalt. The method can be used for removal of coatings, paint, epoxy and the removal of markings and rubber from highways. Skid resistance improvement on sidewalks, roads and runways are also application areas for the company’s versatile shot blasters. The addition of steel blasting solutions considerably enhances the existing Husqvarna surface preparation portfolio. The steel blasting applications go broader than just construction, delivering cost effective and efficient solutions for paint removal and steel surface remediation on windmills, ship decks and petrochemical storage vessels.

“We’re committed to support our customers all the way, before, during and after their projects. We have dedicated teams for surface preparation in our key markets and are continuously investing in internal and customer training programmes to enhance competence in removing, preparing and refining floors,” said Stijn Verherstraeten.

The complete re-branded offering of shot blasters, steel blasters and related dust collectors from Husqvarna Construction is available for order since 24 May 2023.
