Vibrating hand screed/screed FBP-H

Swepac FBP-H is a petrol-driven vibrating screed for levelling and vibrating concrete floors. It is driven by a 1.0 kW (1.1 hp) Honda GX25 petrol engine and gives a centrifugal force of 1 500 N at 9 000 vibrations per minute. The vibration frequency can be varied as required. FBP-H gives a vertical vibration effect that acts downwards into the concrete, and thus differs from the sister model FBP-HP, which has a horizontal vibration effect via a drive shaft.

The aluminium profile is a smooth box profile 200 mm wide that is easy to clean. The wide profile gives lower pressure on the concrete, so that the screed floats better on the mix, and the rounded corners eliminate the risk of streaks in the surface. Profiles are supplied in lengths of 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 and 4.0 metres, weighing from 4.6 to 12.5 kg. The drive unit weighs 15 kg.

The operating handle has an adjustable working angle for good working comfort, and the handle frame is vibration-isolated to reduce the vibration transmitted to the operator. The lifting handle on the machine frame also protects the engine against mechanical impacts. According to Swepac's instruction manual, the screeds are designed for working directly on the concrete surface without guide rails.
