2021-09-07

When using a grinder to grind the floor, some problems often occur. For example, the diamond polishing pads always fall off. This phenomenon is also a problem that many people encounter during the construction process with the diamond pads. Generally, the pads always fall out when installing or suddenly fall off when the grinder is working. It is mainly caused by the following factors.　

1. Material problem

The diamond polishing pads always fall out after being installed, which may be the material problem since the toughness and hardness are the key to the wear resistance of the polishing pads. If the toughness and hardness are not well-balanced when manufacturing the diamond polishing pads, they may fall off during later use.

2. The service life of polishing pads 　　

The service life of the polishing pads will be affected by various factors, including floor flatness and hardness, grinder weight and speed, construction method, wet grinding or dry grinding, the quantity, bond and particle size of polishing pads, polishing time and use experience, etc. The sandy floor and cement mortar floor with poor flatness will cause the pads to fall. In this case, different pads can be used in different construction processes.　　

3. Grinder speed　　

If the floor grinder speed is too fast, it will also cause the polishing pads to fall. If the grinder is working, the pads suddenly come out of the grinder chassis and flies out directly. In this case, you can see if it is caused by the grinder running too fast. If so, you should reduce the machine speed appropriately.　　

4. The problem of sticky disc 　　

When the pads are separated from the floor grinder, they are still falling out after reinstallation. At this time, we have to check whether it is the cause of the sticking disc because the sticky disc is aging and loses its adhesiveness, then the pads will easily to fall off. We can solve this problem by replacing the sticky disc or replacing the velcro of the sticky disc.　　

5.Operation problem　

When the worker use the floor grinder, the use is not in place, the chassis is uneven, some of the  diamond polishing pads are cut heavily, and some of the polishing pads are cut lightly, it is easy for the pads to fall or fly out. It is very dangerous for the pads with speed to fly out, the edge of the pads will become sharp and it is very easy to scratch.

6.The grinding disc is not clean 　　

Diamond polishing pads are not cleaned after each grinding, it will cause the pads fall off the next time they are used. During floor construction, the replaced polishing pads must be cleaned up after each grinding, so as to avoid the pads falling off due to the inclusion of grit in the next construction. And if you don’t pay attention to the grit in the polishing pads, the floor grinder will use these pads to grind the floor, it will cause damage to the floor, which may not be repaired, or it may take a lot of time to repair, which will add trouble to the floor construction.
