Core Features & Design

The P800E is a next-generation addition to Bartell’s Predator series, featuring three precision-balanced grinding heads set in a true planetary configuration. This innovative system ensures complete floor contact, maximum flatness, and efficient, even removal or polishing of coatings, adhesives, and high spots across vast areas. As a 460V, three-phase, 20 HP electric grinder, the P800E is engineered for large-scale projects where ample power, clean operation, and consistent results are essential.

A rugged, 3/8" plate steel frame, top-tier belt drive, and spring-assisted adjustable swing weights grant operators rapid setup, flexible head pressure, and robust machine balance on any surface. The built-in 12.5-gallon water tank and 3" vacuum port enable optimal dust suppression and wet operation, supporting OSHA-compliance and excellent site cleanliness regardless of the task or work environment.

• Belt-Driven Reliability: Durable, low-vibration, and serviceable belt drive ensures smooth operation, less operator fatigue, and straightforward maintenance compared to gear-driven competitors.

• Full Operator Control: Spring-assisted weight system offers instant head pressure changes to switch between aggressive removal and fine polishing; forward/reverse controls add to versatility.

• Superior Dust & Slurry Management: Spacious 12.5-gallon tank aids with wet grinding and dust suppression; 3-inch vacuum port ensures compatibility with premium HEPA dust collectors for OSHA-Dust compliance and fast, clean jobsite turnover.

• Pro-Grade Features: LED lights (front/rear), tool-free handle adjustment, built-in lift points, tie-downs, and heavy transport wheels optimize setup, handling, and safety.

Applications & Recommended Use

• Large Scale Concrete Polishing: Airports, shopping centers, convention halls, factory floors, and event venues.

• High-Production Surface Prep: Removes coatings, glues, epoxy, paint, and carpet mastic uniformly for overlay, paint, or decorative finishes.

• Commercial Restoration Projects: Revitalizes old, uneven concrete, terrazzo, or stone flooring to a premium architectural finish.

• Industrial Cleaning & Leveling: Used in logistics facilities and manufacturing plants for essential safety surface prep or slip mitigation.

• Wet or Dry Grinding: Supports both methods with dedicated water supply and dust skirt—choose the best process for substrate, location, and safety plan.

User & Industry Reviews

• Contractor-Tested: Users praise its massive grinding area, smooth running, and consistent surface finish on even the largest jobs.

• Low Noise & Emissions: Electric-powered operation is favored for night, medical, multi-use, and sensitive environments.

• Easy Daily Operation: Tool-free controls, quick inspection windows, and resettable handle/weight positions minimize labor and learning curve.

• Impressive Uptime: Heavy-duty steel construction and robust components stand up to rental, high-use, and aggressive job conditions.

Maintenance & Best Practices

• Inspect belts monthly for wear or misalignment; lubricate bearings as needed.

• Clean water tank and dust skirt after each wet job to maintain optimal vacuum and slurry management.

• Check power supply compatibility and cords before setup; confirm all electrical safety protocols per local codes.

• Rotate or replace diamond segments and inspect plates after large or aggressive jobs.
