Von ARX

Precision Surface Prep, Built to Last

Since 1941, Von ARX has set the global standard in surface preparation tools—especially its pioneering pneumatic needle scalers. Originally founded by inventor Paul von Arx, the company introduced breakthrough technologies like the first adjustable-angle impact cleaning machine and, shortly after, the world’s first pneumatic needle scaler  . Today, Von ARX remains committed to innovation, quality, ergonomics, and operator health—designed to exceed expectations job after job  .

Von ARX tools are built for real-world challenges: stripping rust, weld slag, paint, coatings, and residues from complex or uneven surfaces. Their flexible needles adapt to contours and projections, making them supremely effective across metal, concrete, and stone surfaces  . From compact models for tight access to high-capacity units for industrial-scale work, there’s a Von ARX scaler for every need.

APG Australia has curated a select range of Von ARX needle scalers—combining their legendary Swiss engineering with local expertise and support. Our team recommends Von ARX to professionals who prioritise tool longevity, operator comfort, and proven surface performance.
