Manual Labor or DFG800 Robot?
Compare total cost, efficiency, and quality to find your best fit.
Manual Labor
Best for projects under 2,000 m²
For: Small garages, residential basements, quick touch-ups
DFG800 Robot
Best for projects over 2,000 m²
For: Factories, warehouses, airports, industrial parks, large commercial spaces
Built for Heavy-Duty Job Sites
Engineered to outperform manual crews on large-scale projects.
Floor Grinding & Restoration Applications
Raw Concrete Slabs
New construction base preparation before coatings. Brush, scarify, or polish — one pass with consistent results.
→ 120+ m²/h flatness tolerance ±1mm/3m

Epoxy & Coating Removal
Strip old epoxy, polyurethane, or paint coatings without chemicals. Variable depth control prevents substrate damage.
→ Removes 1–3mm coatings in a single pass

Polished Concrete
Multi-step polishing from 50-grit to 3000-grit for retail floors, warehouses, and showrooms. No separate burnisher needed.
→ Achieves aggregate exposure Class A–D

Terrazzo Restoration
Restore aged terrazzo flooring in hotels, airports, and government buildings. Uniform pressure preserves the original aggregate.
→ Restores 200+ m²/day; wet or dry

Densifier Application
Apply and burnish silicate densifiers in one workflow. Even distribution + mechanical activation maximizes surface hardness.
→ Increases Mohs hardness by 2–3 points

ROI & Savings Overview
Compare manual labor costs vs. DFG800 across typical facility types.
60-70% Labor Cost Reduction
1 operator replaces 3-5 workers. Remote monitoring means zero dust exposure for your crew.
3x Faster Completion
120+ m²/h vs. 35 m²/person/h. Large projects finish in weeks, not months.
8-14 Month Payback
Most customers recover full investment within the first year. 5-year lifespan = 4+ years of pure savings.
Zero Rework Guarantee
Programmable grinding path + consistent pressure eliminates human variance. Uniform finish every time.
