17" & 20" - High Torque Low RPM

Hawk Concrete Floor Grinder - made in USA.Two Major Advantages:
  1. Direct, Gear Drive Machine ( vs. Planetary Grinder):
    • Gear design is a direct connection from the motor to the grinding heads (2).  The design:

      • maximizes energy and efficiency

      • reduces amp draw by avoiding friction loss and wear that occurs with belts in a planetary gearbox

    • Maintenance is minimal if any.

    • Direct drive connection from the motor to the driver plate eliminates belts and pulleys that are necessary in planetary grinders

    • Direct- gear drive design optimizes the grinder's weight and rotational speed while maintaining high torque which a planetary grinder does not

    • APPLICATIONS:  HD, High Torque Concrete Grinding, Coating Removal, Scarify Concrete, Polishing, Maintenance.

  2. Wheels-Down Machine ( vs. Wheels-Up "Swing Machine"):
    • With a wheels-down machine, it takes minutes to master

    • Versus a wheels-up or swing machines, they're harder to control, requires a long learning curve, often taking days to master.

Overview - both sizes:

  • 11:1 Gear Ratio with Triple Extra HD, Helical-Cut Industrial Gears - provides the high torque to drive scrapers & metal diamonds with minimal amp draw
  • Wheels-Down Machine - productivity improves 100% vs. using a wheels-up or so-called swing machine.  With a wheels-up (swing machine) you are constantly fighting against its swing movement especially during high torque grinding and coating removal projects;  additionally, there’s a long learning curve to master how to use or control a swing machine
  • Powered by a TEFC (Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled) Motor - motor is protected from dust, debris, slurry
  • Floating head - ensures the tooling grinds and scrapes flat and fast, follows the floor’s contour, prevents dig and ring marks
  • 360° Internal Dust Pick-Up - collects airborne dust and debris in the brush cover and directs it upwards to the 2" vacuum port.

Hawk Floor Grinder - made in America. USA Engineered, Designed & Made
HD, All American Components Built into Every Hawk Grinder

Features

  • Dual Voltage:  120 or 240 volt, easy to switch - 7.9 maximum amp draw @ 120 volt

  • Foot Operated Tilt Back for Easy Transporting

  • Dual steel operating triggers with negative pressure on/off switch

  • Disassembles for easy handling down stairs

  • 2" x 8" non-marking load bearing, ball bearing wheels

  • Thumb-operated safety switch with comfort cushion grips

  • Includes removal weights with (4) 20 lb plates and locking pins
  • Swing machine vs. wheels-down machine.WHEELS-DOWN vs. WHEELS-UP (i.e. swing machine, photo right)
    • Swing machines are used in the janitorial profession to buff and wax floors, it takes time to learn how to control a Wheels-Up machine, the learning curve is long.
    • For concrete grinding and coating removal - high torque is required and a Wheels-Down machine eliminates the learning cuff and a worker's muscle to control the machine.  With a Wheels-Down machine, unskilled workers can become experts within minutes and worker fatigue is reduced 120%.
  • PORTABLE - EASY TO TRANSPORT:  One man handling through doorways, down stairs, across rough terrain
  • OPTIONAL DIAMOND DRIVER PLATE - Accepts all the diamonds to grind, scarify, remove coatings, polish concrete and stone floors.

Direct Drive vs. Planetary - Know Your Market.  The type of equipment needed starts with understanding the project size and your target market [i.e. concrete polishing vs. coating removal and grinding.]

Concrete Grinders  Can be characterized as planetary or rotary.  Understanding the difference between the two will enable you to choose the right grinder to smooth, prep, level or polish a concrete floor.

Planetary Gearbox
  • Gear design allows the grinder to move in a straight line across the floor with relative ease, which means greater flexibility and less struggle for operators

  • Best used on less aggressive jobs such as smoothing out a concrete floor or preparing smaller floors for an epoxy coating

  • Gearbox is spread to 2, 3, 4 and more heads, the design typically provides more torque during starting and then transferred to increased RPM speeds for polishing.

Summary:  Best for polishing.

Rotary - Direct Drive
Wheels-Down
  • Gear design is a direct connection from the motor to the grinding head which maximizes energy and efficiency while reducing amp draw and avoids friction loss and wear that occurs with an offset planetary gearbox

  • Maintenance is minimal and the purchase price is less because the planetary gearbox is eliminated.

  • Direct connection from the motor eliminates belts and pulleys that are in planetary grinders

  • Design optimizes the grinder's weight and rotational speed while maintaining high torque which a planetary grinder does not

  • Wheels-Up vs. Wheels-Down Machine
    Rotary machines with "wheels-up" are harder to operate and requires more training for operators
    > Skilled and unskilled users can take advantage of the direct drive / wheels-up design to perform more intensive tasks such as removing heavy mastic or thick layers of paint from a concrete surface.

Summary:  Best for grinding, coating removal & polishing.
