Grinding & Polishing Technology is a value addition to the existing methods of making high quality Concrete Floors. In conventional floors, the top skin of cement+ Sand is removed to expose the aggregates. This exposed surface is then polished to make it shine.Steps 1 to 3 : Grinding the top surface to remove skin and expose aggregate, This is done with HTC's diamond tools in several steps with gradually smaller and smaller grit sizes. The process consists of grinding, refinement, impregnation and polishing. This procedure gives the surface a high gloss polish and all the qualities that characterize a real HTC SuperfloorTM.

Based upon substantial research and development, testing and experience, HTC produces a unique range of diamond tools to cover all the different type of procedures possible with the HTC diamond grinders. There are diamond tools suitable for anything from very rough grinding equal to scarifying to high gloss polishing of natural stone or concrete. Each tool has an explanation of its primary application.

Everyone looks for ways to improve their business and make it more profitable. But a chain is never stronger than its weakest link. The core focus for HTC is to keep developing the ultimate flooring system. HTC believes in a system where all parts are made to match, all the way from the tools to the grinder and finally, the dust extractor. For efficient dust collection a competent dust extractor is required. HTC�s dust extractors comes in several sizes, ranging from the handy HTC GL 25 D to the powerful, remote controlled HTC 80 iD. Dust collection is a crucial part of the grinding process, from the health point-of-view but also to prevent surrounding areas being filled with dust.

Option of pouring either off-centre with model C 101 (i.e. left side) or between center with model CG 200 (i.e. between two rear wheels) depending upon size of the profile, Option of using hoppers of different sizes to suit the profile, Suitable for concrete depths up to 300 mm in conjunction with poker vibrators, Flexibility of using 2 or 3 hydraulic pokers depending upon size of hopper and profile. Self adjusting “Cross Slope” facility provided to ensure mould in correct position irrespective of lateral movement of hopper, Sufficient traction is available for pouring profiles in line and level.

The process essentially comprises of concrete levelling by Surface Vibrators, removal of excess water with the help of Vacuum Pump and Suction Mats, and finishing the hardened concrete by Skimfloater Power Trowel. If applied correctly, this process gives definite advantages i.e. higher compressive strength, even finish, better joints, increased wear resistance, less curing time etc. (please refer the Product catalogue for more information). The key part in this process is the Vacuum Pump, Top Cover and Filter Pads as the performance of these determines the effectiveness of the process. Bubble shaped Filter pads gives the best results as there is always free space for water to flow. The substitutes which are commonly found on sites are made of Nylon nets and do not dewater the concrete correctly as there is no passage for water to flow. The effectiveness of dewatering can be easily seen after the dewatering is stopped. For correct dewatering, the filter pads remain clean without any slurry sticking to them and concrete surface completely dry. Another test is the dewatering time; it should be done for 1 – 1.5 minutes per centimetre thickness of concrete. Dewatering time depends on thickness and not on area being dewatered.

Silver is the concept to choose if you want to obtain the characteristics of a well-ground floor and a matt surface. The result is an unbeatably durable floor. The method involves grinding away the concrete skin and exposing the underlying, stronger concrete, in the form of fine material, gravel and, where possible, aggregate. Normally, 2 - 3 mm of the surface is ground away. The floor is polished according to a well-established and tested method, using HTC's machines and HTC's diamond tools and in accordance with HTC's grinding guide.

Bronze is a concept solely consisting of polishing steps. This concept does not expose fine material, gravel or larger aggregates. The concrete skin is polished without grinding it away, and the polished surface makes the floor easy to clean and more resistant to tire marks from forklifts and dirt. Moreover, light is reflected in a pleasant way.
