The Sept Tools electric concrete bush hammer meets a precise need in second-fix work: preparing a surface before epoxy resin, creating a uniform roughness profile and obtaining a durable non-slip floor. Mechanical concrete bush hammering replaces chemical stripping and the rock grinder: it opens the pores of the substrate, removes laitance and promotes the bond of the coating. Our electric bush hammer relies on two machines, the Bouchardeuse Fouine XB165 and the Bouchardeuse Potam, both fitted with a brushless motor (20,000 h, 59 dB(A), IP65; declared vibration of 1.2 to 2.2 m/s² in bush hammering, manual values). The Sept Tools electric bush hammer works on floors, walls and ceilings, with less strain, on raw concrete, screed and render. By quote, French manufacturing, after-sales included.

Traditional method vs Sept Tools

×

Without an electric concrete bush hammer

  • Chemical stripping or angle grinder, irregular surface and residual laitance
  • Epoxy resin that blisters or peels for lack of mechanical bond
  • Noisy pneumatic bush hammering, neighbouring zones to evacuate
  • Ceiling bush hammering at arm's length, quick MSDs and fatigue
  • Random non-slip finish, difficult to justify at handover
✓

With the Sept Tools bush hammer

  • Uniform roughness profile and laitance mechanically removed
  • Reliable and durable resin bond, mechanical anchoring guaranteed
  • Electric bush hammer at 59 dB(A), occupied-site jobsite maintained
  • Fouine XB165 on a trolley, operator guides without carrying
  • Controlled, uniform, documentable non-slip finish
Why Sept Tools

Why choose French brushless tools?

Uniform bonding profile

The wheels bush hammer the surface uniformly, which creates a repeatable roughness profile. Epoxy or polyurethane resin bonds mechanically, with no risk of blistering caused by residual laitance.

Floor, wall and ceiling work

Fouine XB165 on a trolley for floors and ceilings, compact hand-held Petit Potam for walls and restricted access. A single family of concrete bush hammers for every plane of the jobsite.

Extraction and cleanliness

The electric bush hammer pairs with Sept Tools extraction to capture bush hammering dust. Clean jobsite, silica captured at the source, real-time visibility of the profile obtained.

Designed and made in France

Design, assembly and after-sales in Roanne. Brushless motor with no consumable, no dependence on an import chain to keep the concrete bush hammer in service.

From raw concrete to resin bonding in five steps

  1. 1

    Substrate diagnosis

    Assessment of the slab, the laitance and the bush hammering depth required according to the intended coating (epoxy, polyurethane, self-levelling or non-slip).

  2. 2

    Choice of bush hammer

    Fouine XB165 for floors and ceilings on a trolley, Petit Potam for walls and restricted access. Configuration suited to the surface and the accessibility.

  3. 3

    Bush hammering with extraction

    Even passes of the electric bush hammer coupled with extraction: opening the skin of the concrete and capturing the dust, clean jobsite and profile visible in real time.

  4. 4

    Profile check

    Checking the roughness obtained and the removal of laitance, before applying the resin or the non-slip finish.

  5. 5

    Applying the coating

    Laying the resin or accepting the non-slip finish on a mechanically prepared substrate, with no chemical stripping product and with traceability of the result.

Challenges and solutions

Which challenges, and how to solve them?

Resin blisters after a few weeks

The problem

Epoxy resin laid on glazed concrete or concrete covered in laitance peels off or blisters: the mechanical bond was not created, the grinding smoothed instead of opening.

Sept Tools

The concrete bush hammer opens the skin of the substrate and removes laitance. The roughness profile durably anchors the resin. The Fouine XB165 on a trolley prepares the slab at 10 to 16 m²/h on raw concrete.

Pneumatic bush hammering too noisy on an occupied site

The problem

A pneumatic bush hammer or a jackhammer saturates the noise and forces neighbouring zones to be evacuated, which blocks the schedule in tertiary buildings or inhabited housing.

Sept Tools

The Sept Tools electric bush hammer works at 59 dB(A). Bush hammering is done without evacuating adjacent premises, the schedule holds, the site stays usable around it.

MSDs and fatigue in ceiling bush hammering

The problem

Bush hammering a soffit or a ceiling at arm's length exhausts the operator in a few hours and generates chronic musculoskeletal disorders.

Sept Tools

The Bouchardeuse Fouine XB165 mounted on a trolley reduces carrying effort: the operator guides the bush hammer, carries it less. Vibration declared at 1.2 m/s² (Bouchardeuse Fouine XB165 manual).

Non-slip floor not documented at handover

The problem

A non-slip finish created by manual sandblasting or with an angle grinder is irregular and difficult to justify against slip requirements at handover.

Sept Tools

Concrete bush hammering creates a controlled, uniform roughness. The non-slip finish is regular, repeatable and documentable, which secures the handover on docks, ramps and wet areas.

Carbon-brush motor breaking down in mid-campaign

The problem

Carbon-brush bush hammers wear quickly under the continuous effort of bush hammering and break down at the worst moment, immobilising the workstation.

Sept Tools

The brushless motor (20,000 h, x13 service life) removes the carbon brushes. The electric bush hammer withstands intensive campaigns without interruption or motor consumable.

Use cases

For which job sites?

Epoxy resin bonding on floors

Slab preparation before epoxy or self-levelling resin: the concrete bush hammer opens the pores, removes laitance and guarantees the mechanical anchoring of the coating. Fouine XB165 on a trolley for large areas, realistic output rates of 10 to 16 m²/h on floors on raw concrete depending on the depth sought.

Non-slip floors and wet areas

Creation of a non-slip finish on ramps, loading docks, collective kitchens, car parks. Concrete bush hammering structures the surface uniformly and durably, without adding any product. The electric bush hammer gives a uniform result that manual sandblasting does not.

Architectural bush hammering of walls and facades

Architectural finish on cast-in-place concrete, low walls, facades: the Petit Potam reveals the aggregates for a worked mineral look. Controlled vertical work, without excessive vibration or loss of motor speed.

Ceiling and soffit surface rework

Bush hammering of soffits and ceilings before bonding a covering or a facade renovation: the Fouine XB165 mounted on a trolley removes the load at arm's length. The operator guides the bush hammer, no longer carries it, which cancels the strain of overhead bush hammering.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions, answered

What is a concrete bush hammer and what is bush hammering for?

A concrete bush hammer is a machine that strikes the surface with pointed wheels (the bush hammer) to open the skin of the concrete. Concrete bush hammering creates a uniform roughness: it is used to prepare a resin bond, to obtain a non-slip floor or to give a mineral architectural finish by revealing the aggregates.

Is the electric bush hammer suitable for epoxy resin bonding?

Yes, it is the primary use of our electric bush hammer. Bush hammering removes surface laitance and opens the pores of the concrete, which guarantees the mechanical anchoring of epoxy, polyurethane or self-levelling resin. It is a clean alternative to chemical stripping and more reliable than simple grinding, which tends to glaze the substrate.

Which concrete bush hammer to choose between Fouine XB165 and Petit Potam?

The Bouchardeuse Fouine XB165 handles floors and ceilings on a trolley, for large areas. The Bouchardeuse Potam is the compact hand-held bush hammer for walls and hard-to-reach areas. Both share the brushless motor and the same Sept Tools after-sales.

How much does a Sept Tools electric concrete bush hammer cost?

Our bush hammers are offered by quote, with no public price list, because the configuration depends on the jobsite (surface, access, accessories, extraction). The right benchmark is not the purchase price but the return on investment: 20,000 h brushless motor with no carbon brushes, x13 service life, high output rates and reduced strain. The equipment may also be fundable under conditions, subject to prior approval by your insurance fund before purchase. Request a quote or an on-site demonstration.

Is the electric bush hammer quieter than a pneumatic bush hammer?

Yes. The Sept Tools electric bush hammer is announced at 59 dB(A) and vibration of 1.2 to 2.2 m/s² (manual values), where a pneumatic bush hammer or a jackhammer saturates the sound environment. This makes it possible to work on occupied sites, to reduce musculoskeletal disorders and to avoid quickly exceeding the exposure limit values for vibration.
