The zero direct emission and environmentally friendly Husqvarna BV30i is suitable for us with a choice of 5 interchangeable L-shaped hardened aluminium blades which are available in 5 different working widths from 1.8 to 4.2m. Each blade is fixed into position by two screws and have contoured and rounded (bull-nose) ends which make them easier to manoeuvre around obstacles. They are also designed to both cut and smooth wet concrete.
The battery-powered BV30i is a credible alternative to conventional petrol-powered wet screeds and is more ideally suited for indoor use and use in poorly ventilated areas. It is also ideal for use on virgin sites as well as general site use, thanks to its cordless and unrestricted use.
When used with a Husqvarna BLi300 36V battery, typical running times of 40-70 minutes are achievable from one charge of a battery, subject to how fully charged the battery is initially. There is of course no fuelling as such required, no oil, no petrol or trailing cables either. Being battery-powered, the BV30i also requires very limited maintenance wise and has a significantly lower running costs and overall cost of ownership.
The BV30i is also incredibly easy and comfortable to use and is equipped with an adjustable twin de-vibrated low-vibration handle, fingertip operation and cruise control for a high level of operator comfort. Its ergonomic design, lightweight and folding main handle also make it easy to transport to and around site, as well as easy to store too.
With improved ergonomics, easy operation, low maintenance, less wear parts, lower operating vibration levels, zero direct emissions, easy manoeuvrability, significantly lower operating costs and uncompromised performance, the BV30i really is the more eco-sensible and pocket friendly practical alternative to conventional petrol-powered equivalents.
The same Husqvarna BLi200 and BLi300 36V li-ion batteries recommended for use with the Husqvarna BV30i can also be used to power an extensive range of other Husqvarna Construction Products and Husqvarna Forest & Garden Equipment for maximum versatility and return on investment.
Lower running costs
One charge of a battery can power a BV30i screed for over an hour (BLi300 battery), which can then be recharged at a fraction of the cost of a container of petrol (pennies rather than Pounds!).
Low maintenance
The BV30i is a simple yet highly effective and productive machine with no engine; meaning there is no engine to maintain, fuel to mix or carry, fewer moving parts, simpler operation and less to go wrong. Eliminating fuel and oil doesn’t just increase convenience and save money, it also reduces weight, as an engine is often one of the heaviest parts of a machine. In addition, electric brushless motor isare much more efficient, require less maintenance and easier to operate.
Safer
Another benefit for replacing petrol and oil with battery power is the elimination of flammable liquids not only on the jobsite, but also whilst in transit and storage. Imagine how much safer the job could be without the need to transport hazardous liquid to site. Switching out a battery is quicker, easier and safer than refuelling.
Environmentally-friendly
Battery power is the green alternative. Zero direct emissions make this Husqvarna battery screed unit perfectly safe for indoor use and use in poorly ventilated areas too, as well as general site use. The elimination of the combustion engine also means the BV30i is quieter and more comfortable to use too.
