VIC International is trying to attract polishers with new machines and pads, plus a new polishing system.
The VIC 24-inch prep and polishing grinder offers what might be the most down-head pressure available in the midrange category. It combines strategic head plate and tool placements with precise shroud design for minimizing distances to the wall. Despite being only a midrange machine, the grinder delivers a production rate of about 500 square feet per hour and features a robust 10-horsepower, variable-speed motor with reverse.
VIC International’s new 20-inch, high-performance burnishing machine is designed exclusively for polishing and maintaining floor sheen. The burnisher features a two-speed, 1.5- horsepower motor and a dual-trigger negative pressure switch for running the machine with either hand. Its motor offers superior cooling, added torque and longer life.
A new line of Extended Life Diamond Burnishing Maintenance Pads designed for nearly all auto-scrubbers and commercial burnishers are available in 7-inch, 20-inch, 24-inch and 27-inch diameters. The diamond burnishing maintenance pads are available in grades of 500 grit, 1,000 grit, 1,500 grit and 3,000 grit.
The new VIC ShaveMaster can remove a slurry cap and expose aggregate at the rate of up to 800 square feet per hour. It can be used in correcting concrete joints, coatings removal, and other repair and correction jobs. The number of diamond blades under the machine may be reduced for grooving ramps to create nonslip walkways. The 15-horsepower, three-phase motor allows for a 13-inch pass. The cutting disc diameter is 10 inches. The cutting heads consist of 50 diamond blades, allowing for an adjustable 1/8- inch depth of cut per pass with the width of the cut at 1/16 inch.
VIC has also introduced an economical concrete polishing floor system designed specifically for concrete contractors and general maintenance departments where cost is a serious concern. Named the Extended Life Floor Polishing Program, the system incorporates such products as diamond burnishing pads, Meadow’s Liqui-Hard concrete densifier and chemical hardener, and Meadow’s concrete enhancer.
