Ten-year resin warranty voided
Le problème
CSP profile insufficient: epoxy delamination within 12 months, ten-year warranty invalidated.
Sept Tools
Fouine 1600 W + bush-hammering guard: reproducible CSP 5-7 without blasting.
Sept Tools
Concrete floor bush hammering for resin adhesion and anti-slip
Fouine XB165 fitted with a dedicated bush-hammering guard: smart repurposing of a machine already in the ceiling fleet, with no extra investment.
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. Rather than yet another dedicated machine in the fleet, Sept Tools offers a bush-hammering guard that fits onto the Fouine XB165 already present for ceiling grinding. A single versatile machine, zero extra investment, and the grain consistency that the hand cannot reach with a manual bush hammer.

Frequently asked questions
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 5 to 7 whereas shot blasting tends to reach CSP 3 to 5.
Why use the Fouine rather than a dedicated bush hammer?
If the Fouine XB165 is already present in the fleet for ceiling grinding, adding a bush-hammering guard costs much less than a dedicated machine and delivers the same result quality on floors. One versatile machine, two uses.
What CSP profile is achieved with Fouine bush hammering?
Depending on the bush-hammering grain used, the Fouine fitted with the guard produces a CSP 5 to 7 profile. This level is required by most industrial epoxy resin manufacturers to back their ten-year warranty.
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 compliance?
The IU33 Longopac class H with HEPA H13 filter is our reference. It captures bush-hammering fines at the source and meets the French OEL of 0.1 mg/m³ for crystalline alpha-quartz silica.
