In a growing industrial zone of Uzbekistan, a construction company was preparing large concrete floors for epoxy coating. The project involved a new factory building with over 5,000 square meters of concrete flooring. The surface needed to be cleaned, profiled, and roughened to accept the coating—a process essential for proper adhesion. The crew tried using grinders and scarifiers, but the work was slow, dusty, and inconsistent. Hand grinding 5,000 square meters would take weeks.
The project manager needed a more efficient solution for surface preparation. After researching options, he found a floor shot blaster from YG Machinery—specifically the YG-550/600 model. This concrete floor shot blasting machine features a 550- 600 mm working width, a walking speed up to 33 m/min, and a cleaning efficiency of over 400 m² per hour on concrete surfaces.
The difference was immediate. The Uzbek crew now cleans and profiles the concrete floor at high speed, with minimal dust and consistent results. The machine has proven to be the ideal tool for large-scale surface preparation. The contractor completed the job two weeks ahead of schedule.

Why the YG-550/600 suited the Uzbek project:
- 550- 600 mm working width covers large floor areas efficiently.
- ≥400 m²/h cleaning efficiency – processed over 5,000 square meters quickly.
- 0.5-33 m/min variable speed allows adjustment for different floor conditions.
- Eight-core automatic backflush dust collector – kept dust under control, meeting environmental requirements.
- 570kg weight – manageable on concrete floors without causing damage.
Three Challenges That Made Floor Preparation Difficult In Uzbekistan
The Uzbek contractor faced three problems common across Central Asia’s construction sector.
Problem 1: Slow Manual Preparation
Using grinders and scarifiers on large concrete floors was extremely time-consuming. The crew could only cover 50-80 square meters per day. At that rate, the 5,000 square meter project would take over two months just for surface preparation.
Problem 2: Dust Pollution
Grinding and scarifying generate large amounts of dust. The job site was near other factory operations, and dust was affecting other activities. The contractor needed a method that would control dust effectively.
Problem 3: Inconsistent Surface Profile
Manual preparation produces uneven results. Some areas were over-scarified, others under-scarified. The coating adhesion could not be guaranteed.
The floor shot blaster solved all three.
How Did The Floor Shot Blaster Transform The Uzbek Project?
The floor shot blaster operates on a simple principle: a rotating wheel propels steel shot (small steel balls) at high speed onto the concrete surface. The impact cleans the surface, removes contaminants, and creates a uniform profile. A dust collector immediately extracts the shot, contaminants, and dust through a connection pipe, separating and recycling the steel shot for reuse.
High-Speed Cleaning
The YG-550/600 concrete floor shot blasting machine cleaned over 400 square meters per hour. The Uzbek crew completed the entire 5,000-square-meter project in just two weeks—far less than the two months of manual preparation would have required.
Dust-Free Operation
The eight-core automatic backflush vacuum cleaner captured 99% of the dust generated during operation. The job site remained clean, and neighboring factory operations continued without disruption. The contractor met all local environmental requirements.
Consistent Surface Profile
The floor shot blaster produced a uniform, textured surface across the entire floor. The epoxy coating adhered perfectly, and the client was satisfied with the quality. The consistent profile also meant less coating material was needed.
Steel Shot Recycling
The machine automatically separated and recycled the steel shot, reducing material consumption. The 10g/m² consumption rate meant low operating costs.
Real Feedback From The Uzbek Construction Company
After completing the factory floor project, the project manager shared his results.
- Cleaning speed: Over 400 square meters per hour, compared to 50-80 with manual methods.
- Project duration: Two weeks instead of two months.
- Dust control: Virtually dust-free. No complaints from neighboring operations.
- Surface quality: Consistent profile meeting all coating manufacturer specifications.
- Labor: Reduced from 6 workers to 2 (one machine operator, one helper).
- Payback: The floor shot blaster paid for itself on the first large project.
The project manager said: “We had never used a machine before. I was not sure it would work on our concrete floors. The YG-550/600 floor blasting machine proved me wrong. It cleaned and profiled the floor perfectly, with no dust and no mess. The crew was amazed at how fast it worked. We will use it on every floor preparation job from now on.”
An operator added: “The concrete floor shot blasting machine is easy to control. I set the speed, lower the head, and start. The machine moves itself across the floor. The dust collector keeps the air clean. The steel shot recycling system means we rarely stop to add more material.”
