Floor milling machines: An indispensable tool for working on concrete floors

A floor grinder is a machine specifically designed to evenly finish the surface of a concrete floor. It can be used to smooth rough surfaces , prepare the floor for coatings or overlays, and remove old coatings or adhesives . It uses grinding wheels or sanding pads to finish the concrete surface efficiently.


Versatile applications of a tiller

Soil tillers are suitable for numerous applications:

  • Removal of coatings such as paint or epoxy resin.
  • Smoothing uneven or rough surfaces.
  • Creating a textured surface to meet specific design requirements.

Thanks to integrated dust extraction systems, the amount of dust and dirt during the sanding process is significantly reduced, making work safer and cleaner.


Types of tillers

There are different models that can be chosen depending on the project requirements:

  1. Electric tillers :
    • More compact and portable.
    • Ideal for smaller, private projects or tight work areas.
  2. Gasoline-powered tillers :
    • Bigger and more powerful.
    • Particularly suitable for large commercial and industrial projects .

How does a tiller work?

A tiller consists of a rotating disk equipped with diamond-coated abrasives or other abrasive materials. The disk rotates at high speed and grinds or polishes the surface of the soil.


Important safety measures when using

Working with a tiller is physically demanding and requires appropriate training to avoid injury. Recommended safety equipment includes:

  • Hearing protection against the high noise level.
  • Safety goggles to protect the eyes from dust and flying particles.
  • Respiratory masks to prevent inhalation of dust particles.

A tiller is an indispensable tool for the efficient processing of concrete floors as well as other materials such as marble or granite. By choosing the right model – whether electric or petrol-powered – projects of different sizes and complexity can be implemented without any problems.

With the right training and the appropriate safety measures, the tiller not only ensures perfect results , but also safe work .
