Resin delamination
The problem
CSP profile insufficient: the epoxy may delaminate.
Sept Tools
Brushless Bouchardeuse Fouine: reproducible relief without blasting.
Sept Tools
Concrete floor bush hammering for resin adhesion and anti-slip
Bouchardeuse Fouine XB165, a machine distinct from the Fouine XB165 grinder: a regular relief on floors for resin adhesion or an anti-slip finish.
Free quote, no obligation, reply within one working day. Equipment guaranteed 24 months.
Floor bush hammering is the operation that creates a controlled relief on the concrete surface for two main uses: multiplying the adhesion of an industrial resin applied afterwards, or producing a durable anti-slip concrete surface without resorting to perishable resins. Sept Tools offers the Bouchardeuse Fouine XB165, a machine distinct from the Fouine XB165 grinder, for a grain consistency that the hand cannot reach with a manual bush hammer.

IU81
The IU81 is a triple-motor cyclonic dust extractor. Its enhanced filter protection against abrasive materials and improved cyclonic effect make it suited to demanding sites. Automatic filter cleaning (also available in manual mode). Equipped with 3 ULPA+PTFE cartridges (36,000 cm²), an airflow of 510 m³/h and the 22 m Longopac system. Compatible with the Petit Potam, Fouine and Castor.
IU200
The IU200 is an industrial dust extractor with automatic filter cleaning and a multi-filter system. It is designed for continuous 24/7 operation. Industrial extraction of fine dust for a clean and safe working environment. Equipped with 5 HEPA + PTFE cartridges (100,000 cm²), a turbine delivering 1,100 m³/h and a large-capacity drum. Compatible with the Petit Potam, Fouine and Castor.

Manual bush hammer / sandblasting
- Manual bush hammering: irregular grain, non-reproducible finish
- Sandblasting: dust everywhere, compliance impossible
- Extreme vibration, wrist and elbow MSDs
- Dedicated bush hammer: investment not amortised
- Anti-slip resins: replacement every 2-3 years

Challenges and solutions
Which challenges, and how to solve them?
Anti-slip resin peeling
The problem
Glued anti-slip resins: 2 to 3 year lifespan, recurrent renewal cost.
Sept Tools
Mechanical bush hammering IP65: permanent finish built into the concrete.
PRM bands non-durable
The problem
Adhesive tactile paving: peeled off within 18 months under heavy traffic, non-compliance.
Sept Tools
Bush hammering integrated into concrete: service life matching substrate.
Dedicated machine not justified
The problem
Dedicated bush hammer for occasional use: capital tied up, x13 payback impossible.
Sept Tools
Bouchardeuse Fouine XB165: motor lifespan x13 (motor only).
Floor silica above the OEL
The problem
Unextracted floor bush hammering: silica far above the 0.1 mg/m³ OEL.
Sept Tools
IU33 Longopac class H HEPA H14: source capture, sealed continuous bagging.
Manual hammer extreme vibration
The problem
Manual bush hammer: 15 to 25 m/s² vibration, 2.5 m/s² action value exceeded in under 15 min.
Sept Tools
Mechanised Fouine: 1.2 m/s² declared, regular grain.
Use cases
For which job sites?
Industrial epoxy resin adhesion
Creation of a CSP 1 to 6 mechanical profile that multiplies the adhesion of an epoxy or polyurethane resin compared to simple grinding. Suited to heavily loaded industrial floors.
Durable anti-slip finish
Access ramps, outdoor stairs and site platforms: a durable alternative to perishable anti-slip resins. A finish that does not peel.
Tactile paving and accessibility
Tactile and visual delimitation of traffic zones, warning bands and pedestrian routes. A solution integrated into the concrete, with a longer service life than glued resins.
Technical tile-laying preparation
Creation of a bush-hammered profile for laying high-traffic tiles or wet zones. Reinforced mechanical adhesion for areas under intense stress.

Your questions, answered
What is the difference between bush hammering and shot blasting on a floor?
Bush hammering creates relief through localised mechanical impact, more pronounced and reproducible. Shot blasting projects steel beads that open the surface more broadly but less deeply. Bush hammering yields a CSP 1 to 6 whereas shot blasting tends to reach CSP 3 to 5.
Why a dedicated bush hammer rather than the grinder?
Because they are two separate machines: the Bouchardeuse Fouine XB165 is designed for bush hammering, the Fouine XB165 grinder for grinding.
What CSP profile is achieved with Fouine bush hammering?
A rotary bush hammer reaches CSP 6 at most. The wheel plate (ref. PE102135) covers CSP 1 to 4, the roller plate (ref. PE102134) covers CSP 3 to 6. Beyond CSP 6, you have to chip. The required profile is in your resin's data sheet; see the CSP chart.
Does bush hammering damage the rebar?
No. Bush hammering acts on the surface, on the first few millimetres of concrete. Reinforcement remains intact as long as the operator respects the working depth recommended by the machine.
Which vacuum for silica dust?
The IU33 Longopac class H with HEPA H14 filter is our reference. It captures bush-hammering fines at the source, the control measure silica rules expect, from COSHH guidance in the UK to OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1153 in the US and Directive (EU) 2017/2398 in the EU.
