What is a float pan for?

A float pan (trowel disc) is a 600–1200 mm steel disc clipped onto the blades for the first passes over fresh concrete. It spreads the machine's weight over the whole surface, pushes aggregate down, removes screed marks and closes the surface before the concrete is hard enough to be finished on blades. Without a pan the blades would cut into the still-plastic concrete and leave waves.

How do I choose a float pan?

Match three things: the blade-circle diameter of the machine (600, 750, 900 or 1200 mm), the number of spider arms (4, 5 or 6 — the pan needs the same number of clips) and the machine weight. Single-rotor and lighter ride-on trowels work with 3 mm sheet; for heavy ride-ons working daily on large halls Barikell recommends the 4 mm premium version. A twin-rotor machine needs two pans.

How does a premium pan differ from a standard one?

The premium pan (Barikell code "Special 4") is made of 4 mm sheet instead of 3 mm, so it weighs about 30 percent more: 24.5 kg instead of 18.5 kg at 900 mm and 35 kg instead of 28 kg at 1200 mm. Thicker sheet flutters less under a heavy ride-on machine, wears more slowly and needs replacing less often. Both versions have the same clips and fit the same machines.

When do I fit the pan and when do I switch to blades?

Fit the pan when the concrete carries the machine and operator but a finger still leaves a clear mark — usually 2–4 hours after the pour, depending on temperature and cement type. Work with it until the surface is no longer plastic and the pan starts to slide without effect. Then remove the pan and finish on blades set at an increasing pitch, from about 5 to 15–25 degrees.

How do I mount a float pan?

Lay the pan flat on the slab, lower the trowel head so the blades sit over the clips and snap the clips over the blade tips. It takes about a minute and needs no tools. The number of clips must match the number of blades: a four-clip pan will not mount on a five- or six-arm spider. Switch the machine off before removing the pan.

How do I look after a float pan?

After each job wash the pan with water to remove cement slurry before it sets — a hardened layer adds weight and spoils flatness. Store it flat, not leaning against a wall, because thin sheet deforms easily. Do not straighten a dented or cracked pan — replace it, because an uneven disc leaves marks on the floor.
