English term

scabbler

English to Spanish Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering
I'm translating a text on concrete surface damage repair:
"Scabblers use compressed air to hammer piston-mounted bits into the concrete surface.
They tend to roughen the concrete surface more than either abrasive blasting or shotblasting" (This is my text.)

For reference, from Wikipedia:
In modern construction, scabbling is a mechanical process of removing a thin layer of concrete from a structure, typically achieved by compressed air powered machines.

Does anyone know if there's a name for this machine in Spanish?
Proposed translations (Spanish)
4 -1 escarificador

Other options I'm sorry I didn't mention this when I originally posted the question, but my text also talks about different types of HAMMERS, SCARIFIERS, SANDBLASTERS, SHOTBLASTERS, GRINDERS, and PRESSURE WASHERS.

Example sentence:

Las áreas muy contaminadas requieren de una escarificadora para remover depósitos contaminados y algunas zonas con fallas estructurales.

Use métodos mecánicos, como escarificación, desbaste o algún método similar, para crear una superficie con agregado expuesto que tenga un perfil de superficie mínimo de aproximadamente 1/16" (1,6 mm), conforme a la norma 03732 del ICRI.

disagree Ileana Damaso (X) : Cuando busco escarificador en las imágenes de Google el equipo que sale no tiene nada que ver con el equipo que sale cuando pongo "scabbler"
