Floor grinding company HTC added the DURATIQ 5 to its DURATIQ line of grinders. The product has a grinding width of 515 mm (20.3 cm) and is available in two models — one with a motor rated at 2.2 kW (3.0 hp), and the other at 4.0 kW (5.4 in).

Both models feature a new design, with the focus on ease of handling and power.

Compact Dimensions

According to the company, the DURATIQ 5 can handle everything from grinding concrete and other rough surfaces to polishing natural stone and sanding wooden floors.

With compact dimensions, the machine is suitable for both small and medium-sized surfaces. The DURATIQ 5 models, which include ~120 compatible tools and ~75 new features, will replace the HTC 420 and HTC 500, respectively.

“We’re happy to be able to continue the traditions from the popular HTC 420 and 500, and offer our customers a more powerful yet ergonomic machine,” said Cathérine Königk, HTC’s head of marketing.

75 New Features

The 75 new features include a digital control panel that provides full control of the machine’s capacity and functions; a new grinding head, hermetically sealed and dustproof for maximum reliability; effective and energy-efficient motors for higher grinding performance; modular chassis and grinding head with quick couplers for easy transport and optimal handling; a mist cooler system; easy-to-handle weights to enable three different grinding processes; and 20 different handle settings for optimal ergonomics.

“Operators gain a complete overview of the machine’s capacity and functions in an entirely new way with the digital control panel,” Königk said. “We’re tremendously proud of how our R&D [research and development] department has succeeded in utilizing the technology from the larger models and adapting it and the associated benefits to this compact format.”

The product was launched worldwide on April 11, 2018.
