It is no secret to anyone that freshly -paced concrete floor requires additional processing to traditionally traditionally be aesthetic. After all, getting an absolutely even surface is practically not possible. For many years, to solve this problem, it was used exclusively manual, hard work. However, progress, as you know, is not worth it and especially for solving this problem, so -called grouting machines were developed. This is a mechanical device operating on an electric or gasoline engine, polishing the surface with a special disk.
The cutting disk is made from a variety of materials. The main condition is that it should be stronger than concrete. The smoothing and grout of the screeds using this tool is performed in several stages.
Stages of grout
1) primary processing — is carried out as quickly as possible (as concrete dries). This is the so -called rude approach. Its goal is to give the surface the original, general form. Also, during the first processing from concrete, moisture is actively released, which contributes to its speedy solidification.
2) secondary processing — called smooth grout. During its implementation, the remaining small irregularities and ledges are eliminated. As a positive effect from the smooth grout, an increase in the strength of the surface of the concrete is.
Varieties and characteristics of grouting machines
All existing developments in this area can be divided into two subspecies — single -rope and two -rot grouting machines.
How much it will cost?
A not enough important aspect is, of course, the price that will have to be paid for the «even gender». These products are among expensive devices for construction. The price of a standard low -power model, within 4 liters. With. Can reach 90 thousand. rub. And a two -rope variety will cost about 400 thousand. rub. Therefore, the service of the provision of this equipment for a certain period is very common. Renting a grouting machine, for a period, say for a month, can cost the customer only a few thousand rubles.
Single -rope devices
Special circles are used as a processing disc in them, size 600-1200 mm in diameter. If we take into account the main brands and models sold, then their power is represented in the range from 4 to 20. With. The price of these products is growing accordingly power, which, often, is the main criterion when choosing this unit for construction.
For example, for processing small areas, a low -power, edge grouting machine is suitable. In the sets, these units are offered, as a rule, several discs, and special blades, for all stages of processing the concrete surface of the floor.
Two -road devices
As one can judge by name, this variety differs from a one -time possibility of joint and one -time processing at once with two cutting and polishing disks. The power of such machines, as a rule, exceeds 20 liters. With. And the grinding process itself moves much faster. The crossing of the blades makes the quality of the work higher, and the process of processing itself more convenient.
An important aspect
To obtain the perfect result, the highest quality — even floor should entrust the operation of the grouting machine to a professional. A qualified worker with experience in the use of complex construction equipment. If there is no such person, then at least you should carefully study the instructions before starting work.
