For nearly 50 years, scarifying and shot blasting machines have looked and functioned the same. For those who still believe that these methods are the smartest way of machining a floor, it's time to think again. The development of HTC's machines and tools means that there is no longer any reason at all for continuing to use old-fashioned methods and equipment.

Grinding + Functions on all surfaces + Many areas of use + A flat surface can always be achieved + Close to edges + Low noise level and little dust

Scarifying / Shot blasting - Impossible to get a flat surface. Grinding or self-levelling compound is required afterwards - Leaves lines that can often be seen under the covering - Extra covering material is required - Leaves 70-90 mm from the wall - Lots of dust, vibrations and noise - Few areas of use

The grinding process which can remove sealants, coatings, tyre marks and surface imperfections. The process uses a series of metal-bonded diamond grit tools which perform the initial floor grinding. The quality and hardness of the existing floor dictates the number of steps or passes needed to ensure a good base. An enclosed grinding head along with continual intensive vacuuming keep dust levels at a minimum.
