SXP-D LASER SCREEII 24OSQIUARE FEET OF CIINCRETE IN A SINGLE PASS.

The laser screed has set new standards for accuracy and productivity. As the name suggests, these screeds use lasers to identify and place concrete automatically to specified elevations/

The original laser screed, like its current top-of-the-line counterpart

SXP-D model, was a large and expensive machine whose cost was justified for contractors doing large projects with stringent flatness of levelness requirements. In the years since, Somero has introduced a range of machines that offer many of the benefits of laser-controlled screening to contours who are involved in smaller projects as well,

Like the roller screeds described, laser screeds combine both placement and strike off in a single step. The screed heads incorporate three parts: plow, auger, and vibrator, which enable them to spread fresh concrete and set it precisely in a single pass.

Ron pattison heads western Enterprises, Rochesterm N.Y., A FLATWORK CONTRACTOR THAT SPECIALIZES IN Big box retail and other large projects and uses both the SXP and somero’s walk-behind Copperhead machine.

Pattison says, ” The equipment lets us work faster, flatter. And with fewer people, because we don’t need rakers.

With the big maching.  An operator

Can spread and screed 240 square feet in a single pass, which takes about 60 seconds. We use the SXP wherever possible, and use the Copperhead and Magic Screeds
