The Novatek VRS 28PG is a pistol grip air needle scaler built for heavy removal work by operators who want less vibration in their hands. A bundle of twenty-eight 3mm x 7" chisel tip needles hammers at 2200 bpm to break up pack rust, mill scale, weld spatter and thick paint, and the vibration reduced body brings the published hand-arm figure down to 2.3 m/s².
It weighs 8 lbs, measures 16.5" overall and runs on 10 cfm at 90 psi. Needles change by hand at the front tube, a 2mm holder is available for finer work, and the all-steel internals are made for daily use in shipyards, steel fabrication shops and bridge and tank maintenance.

About Novatek
Novatek Corporation, based in Pennsylvania, designs and builds industrial surface preparation and air filtration equipment for contractors, shipyards, plants and abatement crews. Its range runs from pneumatic needle scalers, scaling hammers and long-reach scrapers to vacuum-shrouded tools, HEPA vacuums, contained blast systems, Novastrip infrared tile strippers and the Novair line of portable air scrubbers.
