ProTrade Warehouse supplies Rubicon machinery for concrete grinding, floor preparation and dust-controlled work. The range includes concrete floor grinders and HEPA dust extractors designed to work together for efficient surface preparation on residential, commercial and industrial projects.

Rubicon equipment can be used for applications including removing old coatings, adhesives and surface contaminants, preparing concrete for epoxy and polyurethane flooring systems, levelling suitable concrete surfaces and general floor preparation.

Rubicon Concrete Floor Grinders

Choose a Rubicon floor grinder based on the size of the area, access requirements and type of preparation work involved.

• Rubicon 250mm Floor Grinder: A compact grinder suited to smaller areas, tight spaces and general concrete surface preparation. The 250mm model operates on single-phase power and features a removable shroud section for grinding closer to walls and obstacles.
• Rubicon 480mm Floor Grinder: A larger floor grinder suited to more demanding concrete preparation and larger areas. It features a dust shroud and vacuum port for connection to an industrial dust extractor.

Rubicon HEPA Dust Extractors

Effective dust extraction is an important part of concrete grinding and floor preparation. Rubicon dust extractors are designed to connect with suitable grinding equipment and provide high-efficiency filtration for fine construction and concrete dust.

• Rubicon DE1000: A single-motor HEPA dust extractor designed for smaller grinders and handheld power tools. It features Class H certification, H13 HEPA filtration and a continuous bagging system.
• Rubicon DE2000: A twin-motor HEPA dust extractor designed for professional floor preparation applications, with two H13 HEPA filters and a continuous drop-down bagging system.

Choosing the Right Rubicon Machine

The right equipment depends on the size and condition of the floor, the preparation method required and the level of dust control needed.

• Small areas and tight spaces: Consider a compact 250mm grinder where access and manoeuvrability are important.
• Larger floor areas: A 480mm grinder can provide a wider grinding path for larger preparation projects.
• Smaller grinders: The DE1000 is suited to smaller grinding and dust-producing applications.
• Larger grinding equipment: The DE2000 provides higher-capacity dust extraction with its twin-motor configuration.
• Dust-controlled preparation: Match the grinder and extractor using compatible connections and suitable filtration for the work being performed.

Rubicon Machinery for Concrete Floor Preparation

Rubicon grinders can be used for a range of floor preparation tasks, including:

• Removing old epoxy, paint and other floor coatings
• Removing suitable adhesives and surface residues
• Preparing concrete before epoxy or polyurethane coatings
• Levelling suitable concrete surfaces
• Opening and preparing concrete surfaces for subsequent treatments
• General concrete grinding and floor preparation

The appropriate diamond tooling, grinding method and number of passes will depend on the existing surface and the desired result. Always assess the substrate and select tooling suitable for the material being removed or prepared.

Concrete Grinding & Dust Extraction

For effective floor preparation, the grinder and dust extractor should be treated as a complete system. A suitable dust extractor helps capture dust generated during grinding, while the grinder provides the mechanical preparation needed to remove coatings and prepare the concrete surface.

For example, ProTrade Warehouse offers Rubicon grinder and DE2000 dust extractor hire packages for Sydney projects. The 480mm package includes the Rubicon grinder, DE2000 HEPA dust extractor and specified diamond wear.

Buy or Hire Rubicon Equipment

If you only need equipment for a one-off project, hiring can be a practical alternative to purchasing machinery. ProTrade Warehouse offers Rubicon grinder and dust extraction hire options in Sydney, including 250mm and 480mm grinder packages.

For contractors and businesses regularly carrying out floor preparation, purchasing a grinder and compatible dust extraction equipment may be more suitable for ongoing work.
