“Husqvarna and Pentruder are heating up the climate” There has only been a few new wall and wire saws launched this year and include Pentruder’s P<strong>38</strong> wire saw and CBK wall saw and Husqvarna’s WS 482 HF wall saw. Since our last feature on concrete wall and wire sawing equipment there has only been a few launches of new products. Tractive, now in the process of focusing on the Pentruder name has, however, been quite active. The <strong>com</strong>pany has been developing new products and starting up new subsidiaries in the US, UK, Norway and Sweden and building up strong service and support networks in their markets. Together with Husqvarna launching their new WS 482 HF the Swedish manufacturers are heating up the climate before Bauma 2010. The show in Munich next spring will be the launch pad for a lot more new products. CBK straight to the heart of the contractors New from Pentruder is the new and unique P<strong>38</strong> wire saw and the budget model of the Pentruder high cycle wall saw the CBK. Contractors that have already used the CBK say that it offers an unbeatable price to performance ratio. It is a single speed saw available in 15, 18, 22 and 27 kW and can take up to 1.6 m diameter blades. Pentruder now has a range of five HF saws, including the new CBK, the P<strong>38</strong> and the brand new Pentruder modular concrete cutting system. These can also be used with the Pentruder standard rail system and all the equipment can integrate with each other. The official launch of the new Pentruder Modular Concrete Cutting System will be at the World of Concrete 2010. www.pentruder.<strong>com</strong> Brand new HF gear from Husqvarna! Also new from Husqvarna is the electric wall saw WS 482 HF. The powerful WS 482 HF ac<strong>com</strong>modates larger blades and offers the best power-to-weight ratio in the market, allowing cutting and drilling 30 PDi • Is s u e 3 - 2009 • Au g - Se p t professionals to work faster and more efficiently. The WS 482 HF, operated by radio remote control, is based on the same technology as the WS 4<strong>40</strong> HF launched last year, but can use blades up to 1.6m diameter. It has a new two-speed gearbox <strong>com</strong>bined with variable speed transmission, which allows the optimum speed to be set according to blade diameter, blade type and cutting material. Husqvarna has optimized the power-to-weight ratio and developed a saw that is lightweight and flexible while at the same time being extremely powerful. 19 kW and only 28 kg! “The WS 482 is incredibly powerful. You get 19 kW at the blade shaft with a 32 amp fuse, despite the saw weighing only 28 kg. A great advantage is that if only 16 amps are available at the workplace, the WS 482 still delivers a high power of 9 kW. No other electric wall saw on the market today can do this,” says Husqvarna Construction Products Construction Equipment Product Manager Lars Gustafsson. As with all Husqvarna products, the WS 482 HF was developed to make the operator’s work easier and more efficient. The saw is of modular construction, making it easy to hang on the wall and transport. It is possible to cut on both sides of the track. Its direction of rotation can be selected so that the water always sprays in the desired direction, irrespective of sawing from either side of the track. “Husqvarna’s new electric wall-saw allows cutting and drilling professionals to work faster and more efficiently. The small distance between track and blade gives a straight cut with less wear on saw and blade,” says Lars Gustafsson. The PP 480 HF is the power pack for the WS 482. It weighs 23 kg and easy to transport. The WS 482 HF powered by the PP 480 will be launched at the end of the year. www.husqvarnacp.<strong>com</strong> Specification: WS 482 HF The water- cooled electric motor generates a total of 19 kW to the shaft. • The shaft has a continuous speed setting and is operated by radio remote control.
