YG Machinery supplied a YG-550 floor shot blaster to a factory in the Philippines. The factory had a 2000m² old epoxy floor that was peeling and cracked. The owner needed to install new epoxy but the old coating would not stick. Grinding was too slow.
The YG-550 floor shot blasting machine was brought to the site. The machine stripped the old epoxy in one pass. The surface was rough and uniform. New epoxy was applied the next day. Old epoxy removed in 2 days. No dust in the work area. The factory resumed production 3 days ahead of schedule. The owner saved $5,000 compared to grinding.
The 2000m² Factory Floor Renovation Project in the Philippines
A factory in the Philippines had a 2000m² epoxy floor that was failing. The old coating was peeling and cracked in many areas. The floor looked worn and damaged.
The owner needed to install new epoxy. But the old coating would not stick to the concrete. Something had to be done first. The floor needed to be cleaned and roughened before new epoxy could be applied.
The factory considered grinding. Grinding would take many days and create a lot of dust. Production would have to stop for a long time. The factory could not afford that.
Why a Floor Shot Blaster for Epoxy Removal?
Removes Old Epoxy Effectively
The floor shot blaster uses high-speed steel shots to impact the concrete surface. The impact removes old epoxy, laitance, and contaminants in one pass.
Faster Than Grinding
Grinding 2000m² would take days. The shot blaster removed the old epoxy in just 2 days. The factory resumed production 3 days ahead of schedule.
Creates the Right Surface Profile
New epoxy needs a rough surface to stick. The shot blaster creates a rough, uniform profile. New epoxy bonds tightly and lasts longer.
Dust-Free Operation
The integrated dust collector captures dust during operation. The work area stays clean. No dust spreading to other parts of the factory.
Cost Savings
The owner saved $5,000 compared to grinding. Less labor time. Less downtime. Lower total cost.

Putting the Shot Blaster to Work
The YG-550 arrived at the Philippines factory within two weeks. YG provided remote training. The team learned to operate the floor shot blaster in one day.
The machine was positioned at one end of the 2000m² floor. The operator walked behind the machine. Steel shots impacted the concrete surface. The old epoxy came off in one pass. The dust collector captured dust during operation.
After 2 days, the entire 2000m² floor was stripped. The surface was rough and uniform. No spots were missed. No patches remained.
New epoxy was applied the next day. The new coating bonded tightly to the prepared surface. The factory resumed production 3 days ahead of schedule.
The results:
- Old epoxy removed in 2 days
- New epoxy applied without delay
- No dust in the work area
- 3 days ahead of schedule
- $5,000 saved compared to grinding
