Dust-Free Concrete Surface Prep With the Hawk 17″ Brute 360
The Hawk F38-B 17″ Brute 360 Severe Duty Floor Machine with Dust Pickup is built for contractors who perform dry concrete grinding, wood screening, and stone polishing in occupied buildings where silica dust exposure must be controlled. The 1.5 HP, 180-frame TEFC dual-capacitor AC motor delivers 165 RPM output through XHD 11:1 helical-cut gears, while the integrated 360-degree dust pickup system captures airborne particles at the pad perimeter before they can enter the breathing zone. The machine operates at 66 dB GS42-rated noise levels and runs on dual voltage 115-230V.
F38-B Dust Control and Drive System
- 360° dust pickup system — full-perimeter dust shroud captures grinding and sanding debris at the source, maintaining OSHA silica exposure compliance without a separate vacuum unit
- 1.5 HP, 180-frame TEFC dual-capacitor AC motor — fully enclosed fan-cooled housing prevents dust ingestion that shortens motor life on open-frame machines in concrete prep environments
- XHD triple-planetary 11:1 helical-cut gears — handles the increased torque load from diamond tooling and abrasive sanding screens without gear slippage
- All-steel welded frame, 100% steel construction — resists flex on uneven concrete and absorbs vibration from aggressive abrasive tooling
- Dual voltage 115-230V, 60 Hz (50 Hz optional) — compatible with standard US commercial circuits and international power at job sites
Applications for the Hawk Brute 360 with Dust Pickup
The F38-B suits flooring contractors performing wood floor sanding and screening, concrete polishing contractors grinding between coats, and restoration professionals working in occupied healthcare or school environments where dust control is mandatory. The 17″ cleaning path and 180-frame motor provide the torque for multi-pass concrete prep without the operator fatigue caused by repeated slow passes on underpowered machines.
