Canopus 8 '' Electric Concrete Scarifier CS200
Canopus Scarifier CS200
8-Inch Electric Concrete Scarifier for Surface Profiling and Coating Removal | Brand: Canopus Supply
The Canopus CS200 is an 8-inch electric concrete scarifier engineered for professional surface preparation on concrete floors. Whether you’re profiling a slab for an epoxy or polyurethane coating system, removing an existing coating, or preparing a surface to the required Concrete Surface Profile (CSP), the CS200 delivers consistent, controlled material removal with the power and durability needed for commercial and industrial job sites.
Product Description
The CS200 uses a rotating drum fitted with interchangeable cutters to aggressively profile concrete surfaces, remove coatings, adhesives, and laitance, and create the mechanical profile needed for coating adhesion. Its electric drive eliminates exhaust fumes, making it suitable for use in enclosed spaces such as parkades, warehouses, and commercial interiors where ventilation is limited.
The 8-inch cutting width allows efficient coverage on medium to large floor areas while remaining maneuverable in tighter spaces. Adjustable cutting depth gives the operator control over the aggressiveness of the profile, from light surface opening to deep material removal depending on the application requirements.
Key Features
- 8-inch cutting width — efficient coverage for medium to large floor areas.
- Electric drive — no exhaust fumes; suitable for enclosed spaces and indoor job sites.
- Interchangeable cutters — configure for different substrate hardness levels and target CSP profiles.
- Adjustable cutting depth — control profile aggressiveness from light surface opening to deep material removal.
- Coating and adhesive removal — removes existing coatings, adhesives, and surface laitance efficiently.
- Dust port — compatible with vacuum extraction for cleaner job site operation.
- Professional-grade construction — built for repeated use on commercial and industrial job sites.

Operating Instructions
- Cutter selection: Select the appropriate cutter configuration for your substrate hardness and target CSP profile. Consult the cutter selection guide or contact Canopus Supply for guidance.
- Depth adjustment: Set the cutting depth to the desired profile aggressiveness using the depth adjustment mechanism.
- Dust extraction: Connect a vacuum extraction unit to the dust port to minimize airborne dust during operation.
- Operation: Move the scarifier steadily across the surface in overlapping passes. Maintain consistent forward speed for uniform profile depth.
- Inspection: After scarifying, inspect the surface profile and remove all debris before applying primer or coating.
Safety
- Wear appropriate PPE including safety glasses, hearing protection, dust mask or respirator, and steel-toed footwear during operation.
- Connect dust extraction equipment to minimize silica dust exposure.
- Inspect the machine and cutters before each use. Do not operate with damaged or worn cutters.
- Follow all electrical safety requirements for the job site.
Frequently Asked Questions
What CSP profile does the CS200 achieve?
The CS200 is capable of achieving CSP 3–5 profiles depending on the cutter configuration, cutting depth setting, and concrete hardness. Confirm the required CSP for your coating system specification before selecting the cutter configuration.
Can it remove existing epoxy or polyurethane coatings?
Yes. The CS200 is effective for removing existing epoxy, polyurethane, and other floor coatings, as well as adhesives and surface laitance. Select the appropriate cutter type for the coating being removed.
Is dust extraction required?
Dust extraction is strongly recommended to minimize silica dust exposure and maintain a clean job site. The CS200 includes a dust port for connection to a compatible vacuum extraction unit.
What cutters are available for the CS200?
Replacement and alternative cutter configurations are available from Canopus Supply. Contact us for cutter availability and selection guidance based on your substrate and application requirements.
