THE GRINDING PRINCIPLE
PPC’s industrial grinding machines are designed forprecision, control and safe operation. The grinding processis provided by diamond tungsten or resin bonded plateswhich are secured to singular or multiple heads and rotatein a circular motion.
The heads are fully enclosed for safety and a dustextraction port provides ‘dust free’ operation. The moretechnically advanced models allow for the heads to beraised or lowered by hydraulic control.There are numerous plates from which to select thecorrect combination for smoothing, preparing, polishing orcleaning applications.
PPC’s Grinding machines are built for high performanceand can be used for wet and dry applications.
THE LIBERATOR 250 GRINDER AND EDGER
The Liberator 250 Grinder is the work horse of the rangewith fast stock removal and is simple to use and robust.The machine also features detachable sides to allow thediamond disc to operate directly against any verticalsurface, making ease of edgework.
The exceptional balance of this machine makes it simplerto use than comparative equipment leading to lessoperator fatigue and increased production rates.
FEATURES• Production rates from 30-50m2 per hour• Dust free – when connected to a suitable vacuum unit• Compact and easily transportable• Flexible head control• Wheels move 35 to allow for precise edge grinding
APPLICATIONS• Grinding and smoothing concrete, asphalt, stone and tiles• Removal of latex, adhesives and paint• Polishing terrazzo, stone and concrete• General edgework

GUIDE TO SELECTING DISCS
‘The selection of the correctaccessory will optimise the life of thediamond disc and provide costeffective solutions for yourdesignated project.’
The materials used in the construction offloors and walls vary considerably. Thegeographical location of the project willprovide an insight into regional materialsused and must always be considered whenselecting diamond accessories to preparesurfaces.
The customer must be confident that boththe correct grade of bond and the degree ofdiamond segment on the accessoryselected, will meet the precise criteria ofthe designated project.
A simple equation is to examine the type ofsurface being treated. A hard compositionsurface will require a soft bond segment anda soft composition surface will require ahard bond segment. In each instance theselection of the correct accessory willoptimise the life of the diamond disc andprovide the most cost effective solution.
In the event that the incorrect grade ofdiamond disc is selected, the disc will simplyglaze over the surface and not create thecorrect cutting actions, or will ‘wear out’extremely quickly. This will often be evidentin the initial stages of the operation and will
prove to be costly and unsuccessful.

THE SHOTBLASTING PRINCIPLE
For all enclosed shotblasting equipment the principleremains the same, steel abrasive (shot) is propelled at highvelocity onto the designated surface to create an infiniterange of profiles. The level of profile is determined by thespeed at which the machine is operated and the grade ofsteel abrasive selected.
PPC 215 SHOTBLASTERS
The PPC 215 models are designed for maximum usage andreliability. They are of a compact simple construction withno switches, buttons or complicated drive systems. A leveron the handle starts the motor for easy walk-behindoperation. The PPC 215’s are the smallest abrasive machinesin the range.
There are two machines available 110v and 415vThe 110v has a production rate of up to 15m2 per hr, themore powerful 415v can achieve 80m2 per hr.Both have an optimised separation system and a variablespeed drive motor for maximum efficiency, producing a highblast performance on small to medium areas.
FEATURES• Lightweight, easy to use and transport• Low maintenance• Adjustable handle height for accessibility into confined areas• Manually controlled, electrically powered• Minimal noise levels for operator comfort and safety• ‘Dust free’ - must be used with a vacuum (see pages 35 & 36)

GUIDE TO STEEL ABRASIVE(Shot)Steel Abrasive ‘shot’ is the medium used inall enclosed principle shotblasting equipmentto create the designated surface profile.
330 Grade 0.85 – 1.2mm
Provides a very fine profile and can be used to lightlytexture power floated concrete, steel or asphaltsurfaces. Ideal for general cleaning
390 Grade 1.0 – 1.4mm
Is more aggressive than 330 grade and is morecommonly used to clean and texture surfaces prior toapplying coatings and sealants.
460 Grade 1.2 – 1.7mm
Is the most popular grade available. Selected for itscleaning properties for use on concrete, asphalt andtiled surfaces, providing a light-medium profile idealfor applications of self levelling systems and screeds.460 grade cleans and textures coated surfaces; it isideal for preparing bridge decks and roads for surfacedressings and waterproof systems.
550 Grade 1.4 – 2.0mm
Is ideal for similar applications to 460 grade , but isslightly more aggressive and rougher in profile. Checkthe suitability of your machine before using thismaterial.
660 Grade 1.8 – 2.4mm
Is used for very aggressive applications i.e. to exposeaggregate and reveal surface defects and cracks, toremove existing surface treatments and to provide acoarse profile. Ideal for texturing Terrazzo,Granolithic and existing Epoxy finishes (i.e. extremelydense compound finishes). Check the suitability ofyour machine before using this material.
Combinations of abrasive can be selected to providethe desired surface profile on the designatedsurface.

THE PLANING PRINCIPLE
The planing operation is based on a drum rotating at highspeed enclosed in the main body of the unit. Theprofile/texture is created by the accessories fitted to thedrum commonly known as ‘flails’. Once contact is madewith the surface being treated the flail configuration cutswith a downward rotary action. The flails are of differentshapes and sizes and have different properties for specifictasks, they can be arranged on the drum for light cleaningthrough to heavy duty grooving applications.

M450 DRY/WET VACUUM
MACHINE PRINCIPLE
The main use for vacuums in surface preparation is tostop dust from entering the atmosphere by directlyremoving it from inside the preparation equipment.This requires special vacuums able to cope with thelarge volumes of very fine and sharp concrete debris.
M450 DRY / WET VACUUM
The M450 Dry/Wet Vacuum is the most robust dustextractor on the market. Dual purpose, the M450stops dust entering the atmosphere by removingdebris from inside the preparation equipment, yet it isan equally effective wet vac for removal of liquids.
The filter is cleaned by an external shaker handle.
The M450 has a 60 litre dust bin and 3 motors with atotal power of 3.5kW.
FEATURES
• Robust steel construction
• Powerful motor
• Quick release debris bin
• Swivel castors for manoeuvrability
APPLICATIONS
