Concrete Floor Grinders are used to prepare, level, and polish concrete as well as other hard floors (terrazzo, marble, etc). Superabrasive manufactures the LAVINA range of grinding and polishing machines. LAVINA machines are highly respected in the industry due to their durability, efficiency, and versatility.
LAVINA grinders are planetary – they are driven by belts and/or chains and pulleys with a large primary grinding head and three smaller satellite heads that hold the diamond tools. When the grinder is operating, the satellite heads rotate in the opposite direction of the main head which eliminates “rows” or linear grinding marks in the floor. Three-head planetary grinders usually outperform other equipment, because they follow the floor high and low spots better, and provide a more consistent finish.
We offer electric and propane grinders in different sizes (from 14″ to 38″) to match your project needs. Choosing between models often depends on the type of projects you typically handle.
The main advantage of propane concrete grinders is that they don’t require a power source or a generator. The operator can simply roll the machine out of the trailer and start working, and is free to move around the job site without any cords in the way.
Electric grinders on the other hand require a specific power source, but don’t need special air ventilation on the job site, as propane grinders do. They operate more quietly and require less maintenance. Additionally, our electric machines feature reversible head rotation, which helps with some diamond tooling, such as PCDs and Scrapers.
