Scanmaskin 18 Floor Grinder

Scanmaskin 18 Triple-Head Concrete Floor Grinder & Polisher

The Scanmaskin 18 is a compact triple-head floor grinder and polisher designed for professional surface preparation, coating removal and polishing applications.

Suitable for concrete, wood, terrazzo and stone floors, the machine combines variable-speed control with a lightweight split-frame design for easier transport and handling on-site.

Available in both 110 V and 240 V configurations, the Scanmaskin 18 delivers smooth, controlled grinding performance for residential, commercial and industrial floor preparation work.

For effective dust-controlled operation, pair with an M-Class extractor such as the Coynco 280 MD or PWM TV150.

POWER SUPPLY & CABLE GUIDANCE

Reliable power supply is essential for consistent grinding performance and long machine life.

• Fitted with a 32 A 110 V plug to reduce voltage drop issues.
• Use a correctly sized 5 kVA transformer for 110 V operation.
• Keep extension leads as short as possible and use heavy-duty cable setups.
• PWM can manufacture custom power leads and supply power-testing meters.

→ Heavy-duty industrial cables and transformers

ENGINEER NOTE

Smaller single-phase grinders can lose performance when used with undersized transformers or long extension leads. For reliable grinding pressure and motor performance, PWM recommends a correctly sized transformer and heavy-duty cable setup, particularly on 110 V applications.

APPLICATION EXPERTISE – PRECISION & CONTROL

The variable-speed system gives excellent control across multiple surface preparation applications:

• Lower speeds for fine sanding of wood floors and polishing stone or terrazzo surfaces.
• Standard 70 kg grinding pressure suitable for small to medium floor preparation projects.
• Optional weights available for more aggressive grinding on hard concrete surfaces.

SUITABLE APPLICATIONS

• Concrete grinding and coating removal
• Wood floor sanding and preparation
• Stone and terrazzo polishing
• Surface levelling and floor preparation
• Fine sanding before sealing or refinishing

Includes base unit, motor, handle assembly and three 160 mm tool plates ready for tooling installation.

Note: Diamond segments, polishing buttons and power cables are selected separately to suit individual application requirements.

FAQ SECTION

Can the Scanmaskin 18 be used on wood floors?
Yes. The variable-speed control allows safe sanding and refinishing of wood floors as well as grinding concrete and stone surfaces.

Is it suitable for polishing?
Yes. When fitted with suitable polishing buttons, the machine can produce satin through to mirror-finish polished surfaces.

What size areas is the Scanmaskin 18 suitable for?
The Scanmaskin 18 is ideal for small to medium floor preparation projects, residential work, commercial refurbishment, edge areas and locations where compact access or single-phase power is important.

What power supply do I need?
Use a dedicated 32 A 110 V or suitable 240 V supply with a correctly sized transformer to minimise voltage drop and maintain machine performance.

Does it require three-phase power?
No. The Scanmaskin 18 operates from single-phase power only.

Can I hire this machine?
Short-term hire may be available through PWM Sales Tool Hire.
