Concrete grinders are required at many construction sites. With their help, you can level the surface, making it as smooth as possible. It is worthwhile to understand what kind of equipment it is and when it is appropriate to use it.
Concrete is the most popular material used in civil and industrial construction. The price for it is quite acceptable, and from its distinguishing features can be called reliability and durability. That is why it is used as the main material in the construction of a fairly large list of buildings. However, after applying it, the question often arises of how much the whole design is aesthetic, since there are usually a lot of notches and bumps on the surface. They need to be aligned. It is for this that concrete grinders are used. Only after working with them it is possible to apply facing materials, for example, paints.
Concrete grinders allow you to deeply work the coating, removing a variety of irregularities, as well as nicks. This type of equipment can be of different types. The most popular option is self-propelled, as well as appliances for the
mosaic floor. The former are usually used in large construction, when it comes to large volumes of work. The second are hand-operated devices that can also be used when working with stone. Mosaic grinder for concrete allows you to get an excellent coating, which can be used as a decorative one.
Choose any device from the grinding category should be very carefully and carefully. It is very important to consider the planned scope of work. In addition, it is necessary to evaluate a number of parameters that relate to the number of revolutions, power, as well as other characteristics.
Concrete grinders consist of several structural elements. Here you can select the body for the motor, handles, pipe, circular support base. The cutting head is located exactly under the latter, a grinding disk is installed on it. Some machines are equipped with a water supply option. The choice of the unit should be based on such parameters:
- Power, which is the main characteristic. The quality and level of work performed depends on its size. Power can be 800-1500 watts.
- Weight varies between 2-5 kilograms. The device is more maneuverable and more compact, the smaller its mass.
- The diameter of the disc is 100-160 millimeters.
- The number of revolutions is another significant factor that has a direct impact on productivity. Devices with too high a value are usually equipped with special regulators.
- Nozzles and tools included.
The concrete grinder "Helicopter" has proven itself very well. The quality of her work is at a fairly high level.
It is worth noting that if it is necessary to process surfaces of a small area, a manual apparatus should be used, the work with which does not require much effort. Self-propelled concrete grinders are used for large volumes.
