Sept Tools

Concrete floor planing for surface preparation

Sept Tools floor planers for stripping bonded coatings, levelling and preparing surfaces before laying new floors.

Concrete floor planing mechanically removes a bonded coating, corrects flatness defects or strips a surface laitance. More aggressive than grinding and faster than shot blasting, planing is the tool of choice for stripping epoxy, PVC adhesive, industrial paint or aged resin. Sept Tools develops a range of French brushless planers tailored to every project scale, from small technical rooms to large logistics platforms.

Chemical strippers / shot blasting

  • Chemical strippers: odours, hazardous waste
  • Shot blasting: dust everywhere, compliance impossible
  • Low throughput and degraded ROI
  • Concrete substrate attacked without control
  • No alternative to ageing resins

Sept Tools brushless planers

  • Dry mechanical planing, zero chemicals
  • Source extraction: silica OEL compliance
  • 30 m²/shift with Rabot Castor
  • Depth set to the millimetre: substrate preserved
  • Surface immediately ready for installation
Why Sept Tools

French brushless engineering

Brushless 1600 W constant torque

Torque preserved against the planing effort, without overheating.

Interchangeable drums

Diamond or tungsten carbide depending on the material to strip.

Adjustable depth

To the millimetre: controlled stripping without reaching the concrete substrate.

IU33 source extraction

Chip and dust capture: silica compliance and a clean site.

Use cases

For which job sites?

Industrial epoxy stripping

Le problème

Aged resins to remove before refinishing: workshops and logistics.

Sept Tools

Rabot Castor: 30 m²/shift, surface immediately ready for installation.

PVC adhesive removal

Le problème

Neoprene and acrylic left by bonded tile: chemical strippers ineffective.

Sept Tools

Clean mechanical stripping: durable and compliant alternative.

Local levelling

Le problème

Localised high spots: full self-levelling pour too costly.

Sept Tools

Targeted millimetre planing before tile or parquet installation.

Industrial paints

Le problème

Floor markings and signage to remove: manual sanding slow and dirty.

Sept Tools

Fast planing with source extraction: cleaner, faster.

Silica compliance

Le problème

EU silica limit 0.1 mg/m³: unvacuumed stripping unlawful.

Sept Tools

IU33 or Turbo7 connected: chip and fines capture, sealed bagging.

Surfacing rebar

Le problème

Steel near the surface: drum and safety risk.

Sept Tools

Prior radar locating plus depth setting: secured trajectory.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions, answered

Planing versus grinding: which to choose?

Planing removes material more aggressively and faster. It suits stripping a thick coating or correcting flatness. Grinding is finer and suited to finishing. The two operations are often complementary.

How much can be removed in one pass?

Maximum cut depth is 3 mm per pass on standard concrete. For thicker stripping, multiple successive passes are recommended to preserve the drum and motor.

Does the planer damage the concrete substrate?

No, provided the cut depth is set correctly. The drum stops on healthy concrete. Sept Tools provides the setting procedure based on the coating thickness.

What is a drum's lifespan?

On standard concrete, a diamond drum processes 200 to 400 m². On very hard or reinforced concrete, lifespan drops accordingly. Replacement drums in stock in Roanne.

Does the planer work on reinforced concrete?

Yes, but the operator must avoid surfacing rebar zones. A prior radar scan identifies steel positions and allows trajectory adaptation.
