A petrol concrete floor grinder is a professional floor grinding machine used to grind, level, smooth and prepare concrete and cement surfaces before coatings, polishing or flooring installation. Unlike electric models, a petrol-powered surface grinder operates independently of mains electricity, making it ideal for construction sites, outdoor projects and remote locations.
The machine uses diamond tooling mounted beneath a rotating grinding plate to remove surface material, open the concrete and create the correct profile for epoxy, polyurethane and other floor coating systems. This process is essential for achieving proper adhesion and long-term coating performance.
The ROX® FALCON 500 is designed as a high-productivity surface grinding machine for large floor areas. Its wide grinding path and heavy-duty gearbox allow it to function effectively as a professional concrete grinder, cement grinder and industrial grinding machine surface solution for demanding surface preparation work.
