Wacker Neuson ACBe battery-powered backpack vibrator with integrated converter used for indoor and outdoor consolidation of concrete with or without reinforcing steel.

Product Advantages

• The three-part modular system consists of the backpack, with integrated converter, removable/replaceable battery and internal vibrator.
• The vibrator provides high-cycle/high frequency performance for effective consolidation of vertical structures and slabs.
• The BP1000 battery is easily inserted into the converter backpack and because there is no cord, the operator has flexibility and mobility to move around the jobsite.
• The backpack system was developed by a leading backpack manufacturer and offers excellent weight distribution, as well as lightweight fabric, adjustable and padded straps for comfortable, extended wear.
• The electric motor is maintenance-free, saving time and money.

Additional Features

• Vibrator connects to the bottom center of the backpack for easy left or right hand operation
• The operator is not exposed to heat, exhaust fumes and engine noise
• Six combinations with various heads and shafts

How does this stack up against a gas-powered and electric backpacks?

• Zero Emission: Battery technology has allowed us to work indoors with zero threat to the surrounding environment due to carbon based emissions.
• Non spillable fuel source: Without a gasoline engine, the risk of spilling fuel from either the dispenser or equipment is eliminated, not to mention during transport or storage.
• Lack of a gasoline engine: Zero maintenance required including engine oil, air filter, belts, or pull cord just to name a few. Also dealing with old fuel problems, wrong fuel type, poor starting or running regarding these.
• Excessive heat from the engine: This is a common complaint in warm environments and during periods of long use.
• Excessive noise: Gas powered units can run well over 90dBA. This is harmful to the operator if hearing protection is not worn and adds additional noise to an already noisy environment.
• Eliminates the need for a power source, and dragging extension cords through wet concrete

What’s the ideal application for this backpack vibrator?

• The current shaft and head offerings are designed for slab on grade with or without reinforcing steel, curb and gutter, footings, and vertical structures (walls and columns) up to 10 feet tall.

Why high-cycle technology?

• High cycle technology is used in most concrete applications with premium vibrators when little to no loss under load is required. It uses an inverter to take standard ~1 power 60  Hz and inverts it into ~3 phase 180-200 Hz power to run consistently.
