What’s the advantage of a concrete power trowels? How to choose?

    Let's focus on discussing how to prevent surface defects of concrete by standardizing the operation of power trowels. The following is a summary of targeted preventive measures based on common defects, aiming to provide a clear operational guide for construction. Defect type Core preventive measures (Operating Angle of the power trowel machine) Detailed explanation of key operation points 1. The surface shows signs of sanding and powdering No watering is allowed. Seize the opportunity for the initial grinding 1. Iron rule: Do not sprinkle water when grinding flour: This is the first principle for preventing sanding. When the surface becomes dry, wait for the right moment to polish it instead of sprinkling water. 2. The timing of initial grinding is accurate: When the concrete can withstand a person's foot subsidence of about 3-5mm, immediately use a disc for initial grinding to lift the slurry and bring the cement slurry to the surface. 2. Cracking/plastic shrinkage cracks Timely initial grinding and sealing for efficient operation 1. Seal the surface as early as possible: In high-temperature and windy weather, concrete may lose water before it begins to set. Once it is accessible to people, immediately use the disc of the power trowel to quickly lift the slurry to form a sealing layer and lock in the moisture. 2. Continuous operation: Plan the operation sequence well to ensure that the power trowel machine can continuously and efficiently complete the initial grinding and sealing of one area, avoiding surface water loss and cracking due to excessive intervals. 3. Uneven surface/Poor waviness Standardize the operation techniques and maintain uniformity 1. Use the cross-grinding method: The grinding paths of two adjacent times should be perpendicular to each other (one horizontally and one vertically) to avoid the formation of furrows due to unidirectional grinding. 2. Uniform and stable operation: Keep the machine moving at a constant speed and avoid sudden acceleration and deceleration. 3. Reduce downtime: It is strictly prohibited to leave the machine in one place for a long time to prevent local excessive vibration and subsidence. 4. Smooth steering: When turning or making a U-turn, lift the power trowel steadily to avoid forced twisting that may cause tool marks and bulges. 4. Surface color difference Unify the timing of light collection to avoid excessive grinding in certain areas 1. Unify the state of the working surface: Wait until the concrete setting state of the entire working surface is basically consistent (all reaching the required dryness and wetness for finishing) before starting the finishing. 2. "One-time Pass" principle: During the fine grinding and finishing stage, strive for success in one go and avoid repeatedly grinding local areas. For areas that truly need to be supplemented, they should be briefly touched upon. 5. Hollowing/peeling Avoid excessive light collection and prevent operation during bleeding 1. Identify the final setting point: When the sound of the power trowel rubbing against the ground becomes clear and the ground's reflectivity weakens, the operation should be stopped immediately. Forced light collection will damage the structure and cause delamination. 2. Do not work on standing water: When there is bleeding or accumulated water on the surface, the power trowel must not be used. The water should be removed first using a vacuum suction hose or rubber hose. To ensure the implementation of preventive measures, the following standardized operating procedures must be followed: Timing judgment: When the foot sinks by 25-30mm (or when a finger presses and leaves a fingerprint of 10-15mm). This is a key window for preventing cracking. Tool: Install the disc. Operation The machine maintains a steady speed. Perform the first grinding in the same direction, overlapping the previous one-third of the disc diameter. Objective: Slightly press down the coarser aggregates to bring the cement slurry to the surface, seal the surface evaporation channels, and provide a smooth foundation for subsequent fine grinding. Timing judgment: After the initial grinding, the surface footprints disappear, there is no free water, and it presents a matte state. Tool: Replace with a coarse power trowel (power trowel). Operation Adopt the crossover method: for instance, walk vertically for the first time and horizontally for the second time. This is the core to ensuring flatness. Adjust the Angle of the spatula to a slight upward Angle (about 1-3°), mainly to smooth it out. Objective: To eliminate the marks left by the disc, further compact the surface, and eliminate minor height differences. Timing judgment: When stepped on, there is almost no trace left. When the spatula passes over the surface, the trace is slight and can close quickly. Tool: The same or thinner spatula. Operation The Angle of the spatula can be adjusted to be flatter or slightly upward. The operation should be gentle and uniform, striving for success in one attempt. Objective: To make the surface particles more closely arranged to achieve a dense and smooth effect. At this point, any unnecessary operation is harmful. Timing is more important than anything else: The greatest skill of an operator is to accurately judge the setting state of concrete. Moisture is a double-edged sword: internal moisture is the source of strength, while surface excess moisture is the root cause of defects. Never sprinkle water. Uniformity is the foundation of flatness: maintaining a constant speed, crossing, and reducing pauses are the only ways to achieve high flatness. Know when to stop: Dimming is not the more times the better. Excessive dimming is a direct cause of hollowing and cracking. By integrating the above preventive measures and standardized procedures throughout the entire construction process, surface defects caused by improper operation of the power trowel can be minimized to the greatest extent, thereby effectively improving the final quality of the concrete floor.   Note: The parameters provided in this document are for reference only and are not mandatory.

The application of laser leveling machine has been very extensive. It can be said that all places that need floor construction need to use leveling machine, because the effect of using leveling machine for floor construction is very good, and the ground is compacted. It is solid, flat and compact, so there are so many people who like to use laser leveling machines for work. Of course, some failures will also occur during the work of the leveling machine. Let's learn about the following two common failures. First. Overheating of hydraulic oil: If the oil temperature of the laser leveling machine hydraulic system is too high, the viscosity of the oil will decrease, the leakage will increase, the oil film of the lubricated part will be damaged, and the wear of the components will be aggravated; at the same time, the high temperature will also make the gasket made of rubber and other materials overheat. Damaged by premature aging. Therefore, it is very important to control the appropriate oil temperature. When the oil temperature is too high, the laser leveling machine must be stopped for inspection, generally starting from the following aspects: 1. Check whether the liquid level of the fuel tank is too low. Experience shows that the high oil temperature is often caused by the lack of oil in the fuel tank, so it should be replenished in time when the oil is lacking. 2. Whether the hydraulic oil filter element and the circuit are blocked. 3. Is the radiator of the laser leveling machine normal? If a large amount of dust adheres to the radiator, it can lead to poor heat dissipation and increase the oil temperature. Since the working environment of the laser leveling machine is dusty, the radiator should be cleaned in time. 4. Whether the quality of hydraulic oil is qualified. If the quality of the added oil is unqualified, it will also cause the system oil temperature to be too high. In addition, when the hydraulic system works when it is short of oil, it is easy to cause damage to the pump and motor. Therefore, after the oil shortage fault is eliminated, the operation status of the pump and motor should be checked, and the damaged parts of the pump and motor should be replaced if necessary. Second. The screw distributor does not work: Sometimes the left and right distributors of the laser leveling machine do not work, and the reason is generally that the oil replenishment system is faulty. The reasons for the low pressure of the charge oil system are: the oil inlet passage of the charge pump is not smooth; the pressure of the relief valve of the charge pump is low; the charge pump itself is faulty; the hydraulic motor is seriously leaking. Generally, the charge pump and its relief valve should be inspected mainly. Before the hydraulic oil is added to the hydraulic oil tank, it should be filled in a clean container, and the hydraulic oil must be filtered by the oil filter before being added to the hydraulic oil tank; the replacement cycle of the hydraulic oil depends on the quality of the oil used (usually every 1000h). The hydraulic oil should be kept at the working temperature; in order to ensure good heat dissipation of the hydraulic system, the hydraulic oil radiator should be cleaned regularly. The above two common fault handling methods for laser leveling machines are introduced here. I hope you can get some substantial reference value from our article.
