Novatek Novastrip 378 - 230v – N379

Novatek Novastrip 378 230V: Mid-Size Infrared Tile Removal for Production WorkThe Novatek Novastrip 378 (N379) is the 230V build of Novatek's mid-size infrared tile stripper. It uses radiant heat panels to warm the tile and the adhesive beneath it until the bond releases, so the tile lifts intact with no water, no solvents, and no chipping or grinding. The 378 square inch footprint clears two 12" x 12" tiles per cycle, roughly double the throughput of the compact Eco-Strip, which makes it the working machine for hallways, mid-size rooms, and steady abatement production. Why Abatement Crews Run the Novastrip 378 230VVinyl asbestos tile removal turns dangerous the moment tile breaks into airborne fragments. The Novastrip 378 sidesteps that by heating the floor until tile and mastic part on their own, keeping the material non-friable. Crews lift two whole tiles per cycle and bag them, with no slurry and no dust plume. The 230V configuration draws 10 amps versus 15 amps on the 115V build, matching sites already set up for 220/240V power. Releases tile and adhesive with radiant heat alone, so no water or chemical softeners enter the work area Lifts vinyl asbestos tile intact in a non-friable state, cutting the dust that chipping and grinding create 378 square inch heat-panel footprint clears two 12" x 12" tiles per heating cycle Runs on 220V, 10 amp service, matching crews already set up for 230V power Ceramic emitter strips are individually replaceable, so a worn strip does not retire the whole panel Aluminum construction keeps the unit durable yet light for a mid-size machine at 45 lbs Shares the N1026 control system for consistent operation across a Novatek fleet Novastrip 378 230V Applications and EnvironmentsAsbestos floor-tile (VCT) removal across hallways and mid-size rooms, adhesive and mastic softening ahead of resurfacing, and abatement and flooring demolition where steady tile-by-tile production matters more than reaching into tight corners.
