INTRODUCTION
MBW Inc. SCREED is intended for use in many applications. It offers the highest level of finishing consistency
available today. Precision machining of all components, combined with all bolted construction, are the key
factors for ease and speed of assembly and for true alignment job after job.
MBW Inc's exclusive 45 degree AĆframe cast aluminum design assures that all sections are exactly the same
and totally interchangeable. They come in 8'4", 4'4" and 2'4" lengths, so you can mix and match the length
you need up to 65 ft (20 m) for gas models and 65 ft (20 m) for air models.
The gasoline engine driven SCREED gives you a maximum eccentric speed of 2800 rpm, and permits idling of
the SCREED without stopping the engine. The air driven version gives you cycle vibration ranging from 5000
to 8000 VPM at 40 psi to 60 psi using about 4 CFM per vibrator.
The gasoline engine driven SCREED has winch kits available. The hand winch kit and the hydraulic winch kit.
The air powered SCREED offers the same fine features as our mechanical unit. It comes with optional handles
and an air system that includes filter, regulator and lubricator. It features an air line that is protected from damĆ
age by running inside the length of the AĆframe structure, and has flexible hose couplings between the air supĆ
ply tubes.
