Vacuum assisted shot grinding is a method used to prepare or refurbish concrete and resin floors by removing surface contaminants, coatings, or irregularities while simultaneously collecting dust and debris. It combines the mechanical action of shot or abrasive media with a vacuum system, which captures the particles as they are dislodged from the surface.
How it works:
Abrasive shots (small steel beads or grit) are propelled across the floor surface to grind or profile it.
The vacuum system continuously collects dust, debris, and spent media, keeping the work area clean and minimizing airborne particles.
The process can be adjusted for different surface requirements, from light cleaning to heavy grinding or surface preparation.
Benefits:
Clean and safe: Reduces dust and debris, improving workplace safety and hygiene.
Efficient surface preparation: Creates a smooth or profiled surface suitable for coatings, resin flooring, or polish applications.
Minimizes downtime: Quicker clean-up compared to traditional grinding methods.
Versatile: Effective for concrete, epoxy, or resin surfaces in commercial, industrial, or residential environments.
Vacuum assisted shot grinding is particularly valuable in environments where cleanliness and precision are critical, such as warehouses, production facilities, and areas receiving new resin or protective floor coatings.
Case Study: Epoxy Resin Flooring Installation for BYD Automotive Workshop, Ilford Overview Liberty Floor Solutions was commissioned to install a high-performance epoxy resin floor at a BYD automotive workshop in Ilford. This project forms part of an ongoing...
We professionally prepared all the floor areas using Vacuum Assisted Diamond Grinding, fully preparing the floor to give the concrete a full mechanical key ready for the coatings.
