The present disclosure relates to a floor grinding machine for grinding floor surfaces of stone or stone-like material. Such a machine comprises a machine frame, a grinding head 2, supported by and being rotatable relative to the machine frame, a grinding head hood 2, which defines a space in which the grinding head 1 is rotatable, a hollow and resilient member 4, arranged in the space, and a pressurized fluid source, operatively connected to the hollow member 4 to supply said pressurized fluid, whereby the hollow member 4 is resiliently expandable upon supply of said fluid.

An air wash abrasive particle separator apparatus which separates contaminants from previously-used abrasive particles contained in a contaminated abrasive particle mixture such that the abrasive particles may be re-used multiple times, the apparatus being in combination a contaminated abrasive particle mixture delivery device, an accumulator hopper assembly, a volume sensing device, an automatic flow control valve, a separator assembly and an air transfer device.

Provided is a method for preventing metal contamination during cutting of a polycrystalline silicon rod. A method for cutting a polycrystalline silicon rod (S) includes the step of cutting the polycrystalline silicon rod (S) by using a cutting tool (133). The step of cutting includes: delivering a liquid (L1) to a cutting position of the polycrystalline silicon rod (S) through a first nozzle (14); and delivering a liquid (L2) to a surface of the polycrystalline silicon rod (S) through a second nozzle (15).

A separation device includes an orbiting mechanism including an outer peripheral surface whose partial region is immersed in a liquid to be treated flowing through a first flow path and which orbits to cross a liquid surface, and attracting oil floating on the liquid surface to separate the oil from the liquid to be treated, a first scraper removing the oil attracted to the outer peripheral surface, an abrasive grain accumulation part provided on a downstream side of the first flow path with respect to a position where the outer peripheral surface is immersed, and in which non-magnetic abrasive grains having larger specific gravity are accumulated, and a liquid-to-be-treated discharge structure provided on the downstream side of the first flow path, and separates the liquid to be treated in the first flow path from the abrasive grains and discharges the liquid to be treated from the first flow path.

Disclosed are an air circulation system and a final polishing apparatus including the same. The air circulation system improves the degree of contamination in a final polishing apparatus including a housing formed to accommodate a load unit, an unload unit, and a plurality of polishing units. The air circulation system includes air purification units mounted at positions corresponding to the positions of the load unit, the unload unit, and the plurality of polishing units. The air purification units discharge contaminated air in the housing to the outside of the housing, purify the discharged air, and supply the purified air again into the housing.

A bench-top dust collector has a front or intake side where air is directed by a cowling into a pre-filter and then a final filter that are held in a frame. A rear compartment holds an array of small high velocity fans that pull the air through the filters to a plenum in the rear compartment. The filtered air in the plenum is discharged through a grill in a downward and rearward direction. The unit is compact and configured to be about the size and shape of an attaché case.
