Grinders & Polishers: Practical Solutions for Concrete Work in Australia
On any concrete job, the finish comes down to preparation. Grinders and polishers are the tools that make that happen—removing coatings, flattening uneven areas and bringing surfaces up to spec. From small residential jobs through to large commercial sites, they’re a staple across the trade.
Floorex has built a strong reputation in Australia for producing dependable, Australian-made equipment that stands up to daily use. Whether you’re running concrete grinders on a tight domestic project or larger floor grinders across a warehouse, the focus is the same: solid performance without unnecessary complexity.

What These Machines Actually Do
At their core, concrete grinders are used to level and smooth surfaces. They cut through old adhesives, paints and coatings, and help correct imperfections in the slab. Once the surface is prepped, concrete polishers can take it further, refining the finish to anything from a subtle matte to a high-gloss result.
From compact handheld units through to larger walk-behind grinders made for open floor areas, there’s a machine for every job size. Floorex’s Satellite range keeps things straightforward, with none of the upkeep hassles that tend to come with more complex planetary systems.
Where They’re Used
These machines turn up on all sorts of sites. Getting a slab ready before laying down epoxy or another coating is one of the most common applications. They’re also put to work pulling up old finishes during a renovation, or knocking back high spots on freshly poured concrete.

Equipment Worth Knowing
The Satellite range is Floorex’s best-known line, with several sizes available depending on the job. Features like quick-change tooling and practical operator controls make them straightforward to use on site.
To manage dust, many operators pair their machines with a DustMaster unit. This helps keep the workspace cleaner, cuts down clean-up time and supports safer working conditions when using concrete polishers and grinders.
