STEP BY STEP

The first step to successful flood clean up is removing all furniture and damaged pieces from the home, office or store. Once all this is out of the way to clean up, then the floor covering, walls and contaiminated areas can be considered. This process is devastating for the home owner, retail store and property manager alike, what ever of the property is saved during the process. 

As the water goes down, the demolition and make over process can begin. 

With the use of the Makinex Jack hammer Trolley and Hikoki (Hitachi) Jack hammer unit the Floor Skimmer and Makinex Tile Smasher Head is used to remove and lift off the bulk of the tiled surface. In the above picture then using the Schwamborn DSM250 Stand up Edge Concrete Floor Grinder, glues, adhesives, tile beddings, high spots, and imperfections underneath can be stripped back to concrete substrate. This process can also remove any impurities that may be in the glue or adhesive under the floor covering which may be contaiminated. 

Often under floor coverings is an epoxy based glue, a polyurethane, a 2 pack adhesives, a trowel on or rubberised style adhesives which often, when ground off using diamond grinding wheels, shoes, plugs or a diamond grinding plate will tend to heat up and reactivate, smearing over the diamond surface. 

To prevent this being an issue, All Preparation Equipment has worked with Schwamborn, the German manufacturing company of the stand up single and three phase concrete floor grinders to ensure any project can be completed in record time - with the right diamond tooling. 

When considering your glue, adhesive, coating, waterproofing or epoxy removal project, the diamond tooling along with the type and size of concrete floor grinding machine should be a consideration. 

Using a hand held 5'', 7'' or 9'' Angle Grinder is fast, but only in smaller areas. When working to tackle grinding a floor of a house, lounge/ living/ dining or bedoroom areas where vinyl, carpet, timber, tile or parquetry floors have been removed it's no kind mission using a hand held angle grinder setup. 

Stand up grinders including the DSM250, DSM400 and DSM450 Schwamborn Planetary Concrete Floor Grinding machines have been designed to run seamlessly through a house, apartment, or small commercial property. With the use of lower grit diamonds ie, 16 , 20 , 22 or 40 grit diamonds adhesives, and coatings can be ground off and removed effective and efficiently.

TAKING PRODUCTION NEXT LEVEL, 

At All Preparation Equipment, we're all about making Tough Jobs Easy, and being a game changer. With the introduction of PCD's - (Polycrystalline Diamond Tooling) thicker concrete coating, adhesives, membrane and epoxy removal has been made an easy task .

PCD's are available in the 4'' (100mm), 5'' (125mm), 7'' (175mm), 9''' (230mm) - takes the same as hte 7'' as well as diamond grinding shoes to suit the Knock On Schwamborn Style, the Husqvarna Concrete Floor Grinders - in single and three phase and other machines including the Cub 250mm Grinding setup.
