 Grinding of concrete flooring is one of the most environmentally
friendly preparation methods. Grinders are used along side shotblasting
for edging along walls and equipment. In the last decades the improvements
in terrazzo grinders have allowed for the use of large walk behind grinders for
concrete preparation in addition removal of coatings and sealers.
Depending on diamond sizes it can produce a very smooth uniform appearance.
It is even possible to produce an almost marble or terrazzo-like appearance by
using successively finer and finer abrasives to polish concrete.
The hand grinding equipment works of standard grinder most
commonly 7" models specially adapted with dust shrouds allowing them to be
connected to dust recovery vacs. The walk behind grinders typically use
several counter rotating blades and larger pulse vacuum systems.
