Superabrasive Inc. is introducing the newest line of Lavina machines – the LavinaS series, featuring forced belt-driven planetary movement. The new LavinaS machines are offered as 20-, 25-, 30- and 32-inch electric models, as well as 25- and 30-inch propane models.
"One advantage of our Lavina S machines compared to some other belt-driven machines on the market is that, if the drum belt on your machine breaks, you don’t have to stop and change it, so you don’t lose valuable production time. With LavinaS machines, you just take the belt out and keep working," said Mark Elliott, Sales Manager at Superabrasive Inc., in a press release.
Additional new features that make the LavinaS machines more productive, efficient and easy to use than ever before include the following:
- The base of the machines now feature new exclusive U-joint technology – an additional axis, which provides the machine with added flexibility, allowing the entire base to move and “float” in any direction over the floor.
- New floating heads now hold QuickChange tools, allowing tools to be mounted directly to the heads, with no additional plates necessary! New security plate locks also add an extra measure of safety, preventing QC tools and heads from falling or flying.
- Machines feature a completely new nozzle-free anti-clogging water spraying system, which allows the operator to choose between internal spraying (beneath the machine) or spraying directly in front of the machine.
- A new power cable attachment connects to the top of the machine near the handle, allowing the operator to easily remove the plug and cable when work is complete, for added security on job sites.
- LavinaS machines are equipped with an upgraded handle and wheels; newly reinforced pulleys and cast, and larger bearings; an upgraded belt system; larger, upgraded spiders for improved security; upgraded double seals for added protection; stronger, steel base plates; and the flexibility of the heads may now be customized by using either 3, 4, or 6 rubber bushings.
