The new concrete grinder is built
around a special dust shroud called
Hoverhood which enables the grinder to
hover and float as if on a cushion of
air.
Concrete grinding is now used to
prepare floors for coatings, vinyl
flooring, glue or paint removal or even
polishing concrete floors.
Vast quantities of concrete dust are
generated in the grinding process which
requires a highly efficient dust shroud
to contain it without causing friction
with the floor.
Hoverhood available from Situp
Products also has the ability to grind
against an edge or wall and Hoverhood
dust shrouds will fit all popular nine
inch angle grinders.
The Situp n grind system utilising
the Hoverhood dust shroud is the only
floor grinder that floats easily and can
be moved immediately in any direction.
For many flooring tradesmen this will
be a low cost concrete grinder and also
the versatile without being too large
and awkward to use.
For large contractors it will be a
fast edge grinder and more compact.
These concrete grinding products are
used to remove tripping hazards on paths
to remove tile adhesive, vinyl tile
glue, epoxy coatings, clear sealers or
to just level uneven floors.
They can expose aggregate or remove
thick levelling compounds if the correct
cupwheel is fitted.
For dust control you will find a
special, high-performance, vacuum, dust
collector with automatic, self-cleaning
filters.
The vacuum and the concrete grinder
can both run off a domestic power outlet
making this system a versatile and easy
grinder to use.
Storage is simple because the grinder
and vacuum can be transported in the
boot of a medium sized car. It is
lightweight enough for one man to carry
it.
Floating dust shroud
for concrete grinder:
The Hoverhood dust shroud for
hand-held concrete grinders avoids
vacuum stick with its fixed height seal.
This enables operators to float the
grinder across concrete floors freely
without causing deep grinding shoulders
or grinding rings.
The hook and loop fastening system
for the seal is quick to adjust and
requires no tools. The edging cover
piece is also hook and loop fastened for
rapid removal and replacement when
grinding against walls or other
fixtures.
This system was designed to overcome
the difficulties of using flexible dust
shrouds that caused too much friction
with the floor as they were used and to
allow dust free edging.
The high efficiency of dust control
comes from the airflow being directed
under the seal where the dust is
generated. This airflow is against the
direction of the dust results in good
dust pickup with no friction.
