Grinding

Blastrac has a large range of different diamond tools, to fit almost any application. To make life easier for our customers, Blastrac has introduced a very simple three color system. For every different diamond product this color system is the same:

• Blue: Suitable for soft floors
• Green: Suitable for medium hard floors
• Red: Suitable for hard floors

 

The hardness of the materials used to construct walls and floors can vary considerably in hardness: concrete in particular can be extremely hard or very soft. 
When diamond grinding or cutting, it is essential to select the correct color and grade of bond, which holds the diamond particles in suspension and forms the cutting segment.

A simple rule is that a hard surface needs a soft bond segment and a soft surface requires a hard bond segment to optimize the life of the diamond disc.

High quality diamond products are manufactured using 100% synthetic diamond particles, because these are regular and consistent in size and crystal shape, which gives vastly improved cutting ability and life span.

Lower quality diamond products normally use natural diamonds, where the grain size and shape are inconsistent, which obviously effects the performance and life span. Blastrac diamond products are made from the finest materials to guarantee optimum life and performances.
A wide range of different surface finishes can be achieved by diamond grinding, using diamond particles of various sizes between an 18 grit and a 150 grit metal bound. Blastrac has designed a full range grinding machines and diamond products, which give the opportunity to process any floor and any specific application.

Especially for our planetary triple head grinders BLASTRAC has designed a new and revolutionary quick release system. DIAMAG quick release system is especially designed to replace or remove diamond tools or resin dots from the adapter plates without using any tools, like hammers, screws, etc. Because of the especially designed heat resistant magnets and fixation pins, the diamond tools are fixed onto the plate, but can still very easily be removed or replaced by hand.
