The present disclosure provides a method of operating a separator (1,1a, 1b) for separating particles from a particle-laden airflow. The method comprises receiving, in the controller (18), a separation unit status signal from the separation unit status sensor (16a, 16b, 16c, 16d), deriving, in the controller (18), separator status data based on the separation unit status signal, communicating, via the communication device (19), the separator status data to the external unit (1a, 1b, 26), receiving, via the communication device (19), incoming control data from the external unit (1a, 1b, 26), determining, in the controller (18), based on the separator status data and based on the incoming control data, whether to initiate separating unit maintenance, and selectively initiating separating unit maintenance based on said determination. The disclosure also provides a separator for implementing the method and a system comprising two or more such separators.

A grinding head assembly for a floor processing machine includes a plate that has a first side that has a tool attachment surface and a second side opposite the first side. A plurality of lippage adapters are attached to the second side of the plate. The plurality of lippage adapters each include a base portion that have a tool contact surface partially surrounded at a perimeter wall and are removably attached to the second side of the plate with at least one fastener. Each of the plurality of lippage adapters includes at least one magnet fixed to the base portion.

Multiple floor treatment operations, such as burnishing, polishing and scrubbing, may be performed using a single floor treatment machine having a motor, the speed of which is governed by a controller that responses to sensor signals indicative of the type of floor treatments pad or pads operatively coupled to the motor.

A hand-held machine tool having a, in particular rod-shaped, handle element for an operator to grasp and having a machining head, which is movably mounted on the handle element by means of a joint assembly and which has an electric drive motor for driving a tool holder for holding a machining tool, wherein a bottom side of the handle element and a machining side of the machining head face a workpiece in a base position of the machining head, wherein the joint assembly is connected to the machining head in an articulated-connection region of the machining head, wherein a flexible suction hose for conducting a suction flow from the machining head to the handle element extends between the handle element and the machining head, which suction hose is fastened to an end region of the handle element by means of a first hose end and to a suction connection of the machining head by means of a second hose end.

The present disclosure relates to a grinding head for a floor grinding machine for grinding floor surfaces of stone or stone-like material. Such a grinding head comprises a lower casing member, comprising a lower support and an upwardly extending edge portion, and an upper casing member, comprising an upper cover and a downwardly extending edge portion, wherein the upper casing member is joinable to the lower casing member by causing axially distal portions of the edge portions to bear on each other.

Systems and methods for treating concrete, which includes the steps of wetting a surface of concrete with colloidal silica, allowing time for the colloidal silica to penetrate the concrete surface, and cutting the surface of the concrete with a bladed or segmented tool wherein the longitudinal blade or edge portion is positioned approximately at an angle between 30 degrees and 90 degrees relative to the surface of the concrete.
