Husqvarna introduces new ‘Prime’
Published 2/4 at 13:03The Prime is a complete range of electric tools for drilling and cutting concrete.
The Prime range is designed to meet today’s high demands and productivity needs. With a wide selection of power cutters, a new wall saw system and drill motor, precision drilling is said to be easier than ever. “This new Prime system sets the bar for high performing electric drilling and cutting equipment. Its versatility and modularity ensure you can get the job done, no matter the challenge,” says Mattias Holmdahl, senior manager product and service management.
Part of the system is the WS 8, an entirely new wall saw system for applications where precision and performance are critical. The wall saw is easy to move with a specially designed trolley, and the wireless control provides safe and comfortable operation. The updated remote unit is waterproof and shockproof and has a long battery life. It has a modern, user friendly interface that fulfils all relevant certification and regulatory requirements.
The new PP 8 power pack is specially designed for use with the new wall saw, though it can also run all Prime equipment. An improved remote control unit and heavy duty connection that handles both three and single phase power deliver steady operation, while the user friendly interface and automatic setup reduce complexity. The power pack is water cooled and features the new ‘X-Halt’ blade brake feature.
All the K 7000 cutters include the new X-Halt blade brake feature when connected to the PP 8 or updated PP 70 power pack. X-Halt is designed to stop the rotation of the blade in a fraction of a second if abnormal blade speed is detected. The new K 7000 chain ‘Flushcut’ allows for cutting flush to walls, floors or the ceiling, ensuring a smooth surface in door openings. It features the same proven electrical components from the K 7000 ‘Standard’, but with the redesigned motor plate, chain tensioner and chain cover, it’s possible to cut flush to a flat surface. The new Prime range is said to be able to drill up to 600mm deep for applications like water drains, ventilation or plumbing; cut openings for windows or doors up to 455mm deep and plunge cut square openings as tiny as 120mm x 120mm.
“The new Prime system is a great solution for all professional concrete cutters. A modular system featuring high power combined with no direct emissions makes this a perfect choice for most applications, even in confined spaces. The ability to drive all your Husqvarna Prime power cutters and drill motors with the same power pack allows you to scale up easily and add more Prime equipment as your needs expand,” concludes Mattias Holmdahl.
