Klindex, HTC, Husqvarna, Scanmaskin, Airtec, Contec… are some of the best brands in the flooring industry that have managed to differentiate themselves by creating their own anchoring systems for grinding and polishing machines. Today we will focus on those of the Swedish firm Scanmaskin and we will tell you why their polishing machines offer a series of advantages that you will love. Let’s go there!

Reason 1: Because they have a system to control the consumables

This is one of the features we like most about Scanmaskin grinders. One of the main problems that can arise when polishing surfaces is that we run out of consumables and scratch the floor. To avoid this inconvenience, many users decide to remove the polishing plates before the diamond reaches its limit, so that a part of the diamond segment is always left unused. The system incorporated in the Scanmaskin machines in their DSP version (such as the SC650DSP or SC800DSP models) avoids just that. It is a kind of indicator that appears on the control panel of the machine and, by means of sensors, indicates the wear and thickness of the diamond segments. This saves up to 25% in consumable costs.

Reason 2: Because they are smooth and stable thanks to their counter-rotating system.

Scanmaskin polishers have a patented traction system for stability and smooth polishing. The trick is that the head has three tool plates that rotate in the opposite direction to the direction of rotation of the head, minimizing lateral movements and making handling very easy for the operator.

Reason 3: Because your remote control lasts, and lasts, and lasts, and lasts….

While it is true that there are many machines that incorporate a remote control, in this case what we emphasize is its durability. In addition to the precision with which you can move the machine with just a joystick, you will see that you will be able to work for hours and hours…

Reason 5: Because thanks to its cruise control, you can pay attention to other details.

Yes, just like cars or airplanes! This application is like a kind of “autopilot” that, when activated, makes the machine continue to work maintaining a series of parameters and you can have greater independence or pay more attention to other aspects, such as the floor wires or the use of the vacuum cleaner. You can find this feature on models that include remote control, such as the SC700RC, SC800RC and SC1000RC polishers.

Reason 4: Because they can work outdoors… and without power!

Imagine you have to do a job outside and, as you might expect, there is nowhere to connect the polisher! Precisely to solve this kind of inconvenience and not have to hire an electric generator, Scanmaskin has developed two models of fully independent grinders that run on propane gas. One is the ScanCombiflex 650 polisher, featuring a 13.2 kW Kawasaki FX603 engine, and the ScanCombiflex 800 polisher with an 18.5 kW Kawasaki FX752 engine – nothing more, nothing less! And of course, they can be used indoors as well.

Reason 6: Because all your machines complement each other.

The Swedish company Scanmaskin offers not only floor grinding and polishing machinery, but a whole range of complementary machinery, such as ScanDust vacuum cleaners, frat sprayers or scarifiers, which complement each other 100%. You can find more information about these products here.

Reason 7: Because it is 100% Swedish made.

Yes, the same country from which other major companies such as Volvo, Skandia or Husqvarna have emerged. All machines are manufactured and assembled at Scanmaskin’s facility in Lindome, just outside Gothenburg.

Reason 8: Because you can buy your consumables quickly and easily.

If you are thinking of buying a Scanmaskin machine but are concerned about where to buy polishing diamond, at Marathon Diamond Tools we have all the consumables adapted to any anchoring system, including Scanmaskin. In this case the indicated consumable is our “Cola Milano” range, which goes from the coarsest grains (16/18) to the finest (140/170) to continue with our hybrid and normal resins, and its corresponding Scanmaskin adapter. to achieve a mirror effect on the floor. In addition, our 45x10x12 mm diamond segments are 5 mm longer and 2 mm higher than those of other manufacturers, with the consequent savings and higher performance.
