Tube finisher and pervious concrete

Tube finisher and pervious concrete
Pervious concrete use has become the most economical and environmentally friendly way to build retention ponds to control storm water run-off. The Allen Roller Tube Finisher is a tool for striking-off pervious concrete on residential and commercial projects.

The Allen Roller Tube Finisher uses a spinning tube constructed of six-inch diameter structural steel. It has a rotation speed of up to 250 revolutions per minute and weighs only seven pounds per linear foot and it can easily be handled by only two operators. If more weight is needed, the tube can be filled with water. It can also be used in many other concrete paving and flooring applications.

The Allen Roller Tube Finisher is powered by either an 85cc, two-cycle engine or an 11-hp, 4.5-gallon-per-minute hydraulic power unit.
