Features

  • User-Friendly
        - The tool is highly maneuverable for optimal positioning;
        as a result, castings do not have to be repositioned and
        unnecessary heavy handling is avoided.

  • Powerful
         - Powerful enough to break off almost any feeder or riser.

  • Fast
        - A high number of spreading cycles per minute allows for
        a high operation speed.
  • Safe
        - Focused application of force.
        - Protective boot over moving parts.
  • Easy to use
        - A simple push button activates the pump unit.
  • Easy to maintain
        - Wedge blades are durable and can be easily changed.
  • Reliable
        - A minimum of moving parts guarantees minimal maintenance.
