Diamond Products Industrial flooring equipment AcryliCon

Specialist turnkey industrial flooring solutions provider AcryliCon recently completed a flooring project for a local brewery. The scope included the stripping of 2000 m² of tiles, tile grouting, rehabilitation of the concrete surfaces and installation of Decor HID Incorporating Microban.

Diamond Products – a leading specialist in the manufacture, of diamond tools and sole distributer of the Diamatic range of flooring equipment for industrial applications – supplied and supported AcryliCon with the specialist equipment used in the five-week project, which began on 15 January 2015 and involved five teams of trained Acrylicon operators.

A scarifying machine was used to plane surfaces after tiles we stripped. Makita electric breakers were used to remove this mass of tiles and tile mortar. Thereafter the Diamatic 435 grinder was used to grind down the profile of the floor and achieve a suitable bond key.

The Diamatic 435 grinder weighs 115 kg and has a working speed of 720 rpm, with a working width of 435 mm in diameter. This machine was ideal for the 2000 m² project as it was portable enough to move around with ease.

All machines had their own Diamatic vacuum to achieve a dustless operation. Bespoke dust extraction accessories were fitted to handheld grinders. The grinders attended to the detailing of hard to reach surface areas which were within the scope of the project.

AcryliCon MD Dean Ashmore notes that the products provided by Diamond Products were an essential part of the project. “Using Diamond Products tools, we were able to meet the needs of the customer specification while maintaining the highest AcryliCon standards prescribed by AcryliCon International,” he says.
