Dynapac launches a new floor saw

The BX510 ... optimised cutting performance.

DYNAPAC has launched new floor saw to replace its BX500 series of floor saws.

The new BX510 concrete and asphalt saw has a maximum blade size of 500 mm, and a cutting depth down to 185 mm. It is said to offer the following advantages:

  • A heavy-duty frame design for use on large concrete or asphalt surfaces;

  • An increased weight applied on the cutting head to optimise cutting performances (284 kg for the diesel version, 236 kg for the petrol version);

  • Reduced maintenance cost and time thanks to its unique 'Vpoly' belt, which allows fast and easy adjustment;

  • Two gripping handles provide good operating control and various working positions for easy guidance of the saw;

  • The right control handle is retractable, thus allowing the operator to work very close to walls;

  • Various details which make the operator's life easier such as an extra large water tank (60 litres), a tool box delivered with the machine and a water tap on the dashboard.

    Features that have made Dynapac floor saws popular are also included in the BX510, such as:

  • The cutting depth adjustment made by a wheel for smooth operation and high precision; and

  • The petrol engine GX390 QX C4 is fitted with a cyclonic filter for extended working life and reduced maintenance costs.

    ''Dynapac BX floor saws are mainly used in the building industry to cut trenches in concrete for laying pipes, electric and communication cables. The dimensions of the trenches thus obtained will be very accurate and more economically performed than reservations on blueprints and then on the site itself,'' says a spokesman for the company.

    Another major field in which floor saws are commonly used is for making concrete expansion joints.

    ''Whenever repairs need to be made on specific parts of a damaged concrete slab, Dynapac BX floor saws can be used, to complement the Dynapac floor treatment range and in particular the BS50 grinding machine used to treat large concrete surfaces,'' he adds.

    Dynapac is a product line of Metso Minerals, a global market leader in the supply and service processes for industries related to rock-size reduction, classification, metal scrap and waste recycling, minerals separation and recovery, materials handling, wear protection, and compaction and paving.
