Customer testimonial

Glen Greth, Concrete Superintendent Engelman Construction, Inc. Job: DHL Ground Facility Location: Allentown, PA Spec: FF70 FL50 Equipment: Hydrostatic Riding Trowels (8´ and 10´) using Allen COMPODISKS®

“I pan very hard, 50,000 to 60,000 sq. ft. per day!” said Glen.

“The Compodisk®’s run flatter than any steel pan ever could. Steel pans get wavey spots in them that cause inconsistencies. These fully coated poly pans stay completely flat, all the time. I’ll never buy another steel pan. They are remarkable.”

"The first time I used them I got over 500,000 sq. ft. out of two sets. The MOST I could ever get out of steel was about 50,000 to 60,000 sq. ft. per set. These are the best things I’ve ever seen, especially in the 100° weather. They really fill in the holes well. The first time I saw these demonstrated, I knew I wanted them.”

Grades

Allen Engineering pioneered the use of float pans on riding trowels, and continue to introduce new and better finishing methods. The Patented Compodisk® expands the scope of both rider and walker trowels beyond the capability of those with regular steel pans. The Compodisk® has superior finishing advantages over steel pans, as well as greater durability at lower costs. The Compodisk® can be used where discoloration could be a problem—on interior floors and with colored concrete.

Advantages

Dewatering — The Compodisk® will draw water from deep within the slab, more quickly and thoroughly than pans made from other materials.

Delamination — Compodisk® has proven to reduce surface delamination of concrete regardless of the weather conditions, slump of the concrete or the use of entrained air.*

*Compodisk® reduce the chance of delamination with concrete mixes containing 5,5% air or less.

Sizes

Allen Engineering can provide a Compodisk® in all standard power trowel sizes from 30˝ to 60˝ diameter.
