Dynapac has launched Racoon+ user–friendly poker drive unit. The new Dynapac Racoon+ poker drive features rubber protection against shocks and prevents the drive unit's body from being in direct contact with dust on the ground safeguarding the electric motor.
The Racoon flex shaft concrete vibrator is a complete high frequency vibration system eminently suited for daily operation on small and medium sites for applications such as walls, floors and pre-cast fabrication.
Racoon+ features a quick connection device between the drive unit and the flexible shaft making it easy and quick for the operator to change the shaft. A long 5m (16 ft) electric cable, improves the user friendliness of the unit and allows extension cables to remain clear of the concrete slab.
The Racoon+ system consists of a 1.5 kW drive unit operating at 12,000 rpm and a range of pokers heads from 21 to 59mm diameter. The drive unit features rubber protection against shocks and an ergonomic, polycarbonate fibre-clad case fitted with a built-in handle, further ensuring its robustness.
Other protection features include an overload protection function integrated in the on/off switch shutting off the drive unit if it should work under high overload for a certain continuous period.
It also features an automatic cut-off carbon brush that stops the drive unit automatically when completely worn out, safeguarding the electric motor.
