inline overhead conveyor shot blasting machine
Sandor I-Line
The Sandor I-Line is purpose-built for automated surface preparation of welded structures, fabricated assemblies, plates, profiles, and pipe spools. Equipped with inclined turbine technology at 30 to 45 degrees, it delivers maximum coverage with uniform abrasive distribution across even the most complex geometries — ensuring flawless surface quality and superior coating adhesion. Available in four model configurations spanning work widths from 860 to 2,100 mm and heights up to 1,400 mm, the I-Line handles everything from narrow structural profiles to wide plate work. Direct-driven turbines with high-chrome impellers and manganese steel inlet nozzles provide aggressive cleaning power with extended service life, while an overhead monorail multi-conveyor system keeps production flowing without stopping for loading or unloading. The fully automated PLC control manages turbine activation, conveyor speed, and abrasive flow from a single panel, reducing the need for manual labour and keeping operational costs low. A complete abrasive recovery circuit — screw conveyors, bucket elevator, and curtain-type air-wash separator — recirculates usable shot and removes fines, while replaceable cartridge dust collectors capture airborne particles at the point of generation for a cleaner, safer working environment. ACM supplies the Sandor I-Line from Cambridge, Ontario with full installation, commissioning, and production-line integration support.

horizontal chamber shot blasting, painting, and drying line
Sandor CH-H
The Sandor CH-H is a fully integrated blasting, painting, and drying line purpose-built for horizontal processing of profiles, plates, and large fabrications. Unlike standalone blast cabinets, the CH-H combines every stage of surface treatment on a single production line — workpieces travel through the enclosed blast chamber, advance into an automatic painting station, and exit through an inline drying oven, all without manual re-handling. This eliminates the flash rust and contamination that occur when parts sit between separate stations. Available in three configurations covering work widths from 1,500 to 3,100 mm, the CH-H handles everything from narrow structural profiles to wide plate work and pipe spools. Four to six high-performance turbines rated at 15/20 HP each deliver uniform blast coverage across all surfaces, while a parallel roller conveyor system adapts to parts of different sizes and shapes at working speeds from 0.3 to 2.1 m/min. The integrated abrasive recovery system uses three-layer steel construction with chrome plating for durability in demanding conditions, and advanced dust collection achieves 99.9% filtration efficiency for a cleaner, safer shop environment. PLC control coordinates every stage — turbine activation, paint application, and drying parameters — for repeatable results across production runs. ACM supplies the Sandor CH-H from Cambridge, Ontario with complete line design, installation, commissioning, and ongoing service support.

vertical chamber shot blasting machine
Sandor CH-V
The Sandor CH-V is a vertical chamber shot blasting machine engineered for efficient, dual-side surface preparation of steel plates. By processing workpieces vertically, it delivers uniform cleaning on both faces simultaneously — no flipping, no repositioning, and a dramatically smaller footprint compared to horizontal alternatives. Four direct-drive turbines, mounted at a 30-degree angle inside a robust double-wall blast cabinet, blast both sides of the plate in a single cycle. High-chrome steel impellers and manganese steel housings with internal liners ensure long service life even under heavy production schedules. The automated conveyor system features variable-speed roller transport with frequency-inverter control, automatic parts-detection to activate the blast valves only when material is present, and a hydraulic transverse loader-unloader for smooth material handling. Rubber curtains at entry and exit seal the cabinet, preventing abrasive escape and maintaining a clean working environment. An integrated bucket elevator and abrasive recovery circuit recirculates usable shot while removing fines, keeping operating costs predictable. Available in three working widths — 1,500, 2,500, and 3,100 mm — the CH-V scales to match your plate processing requirements. ACM supplies the Sandor CH-V from Cambridge, Ontario with installation, commissioning, and ongoing service support.

continuous monorail hook conveyor shot blasting machine
Sandor D
The Sandor D is engineered to handle every type of welded structure, spool, and raw material your shop can throw at it — plates, angle profiles, L- and H-beams, tubes, and more — all at production-line speed with minimal operating cost. Parts are suspended from a continuous monorail hook conveyor and carried through a fully enclosed blast chamber where 8, 12, or 16 high-performance turbines deliver multi-angle coverage for uniform cleaning quality on all surfaces, including hard-to-reach areas that fixture-based systems miss. Six model configurations span work widths from 800 to 3,500 mm and heights up to 2,100 mm, giving you the flexibility to process everything from narrow structural profiles to large fabricated assemblies. Because parts move on hooks rather than rollers, the Sandor D integrates directly with downstream painting and drying lines for uninterrupted flow from raw steel to finished surface. Direct-drive motors with high-chrome steel wheels and manganese steel turbine housings with internal liners deliver aggressive cleaning power while keeping wear part costs low. A double-wall blast chamber constructed from hardened cast steel plates resists continuous abrasive impact, and labyrinth seals at every junction prevent shot leakage. The PLC-based control panel manages turbine activation, conveyor speed, and abrasive flow, with a remote communication module for diagnostics and process monitoring. ACM supplies the Sandor D from Cambridge, Ontario with full installation, commissioning, and production-line integration support.

FAQ
Shot Blasting Questions
Answers to common questions about our shot blasting products.
ACM supplies the full Akyapak Sandor series: the R-Line roller conveyor for continuous through-feed processing of plate and profiles, the I-Line inline system for overhead-conveyor processing of welded assemblies, the CH-H horizontal chamber with integrated painting and drying, the CH-V vertical chamber for compact dual-side plate blasting, and the Sandor D rotating drum for bulk batch processing. The right machine depends on your part geometry, production volume, and downstream coating requirements.
Roller conveyor machines (Sandor R-Line) process parts continuously - workpieces ride powered rollers through the blast chamber for high-volume, repetitive throughput. Chamber machines (Sandor CH-H and CH-V) process parts in batches - workpieces are loaded into an enclosed chamber, blasted, then removed. Roller conveyors are ideal for long profiles and plate; chambers handle large fabrications and complex assemblies that do not fit on a conveyor.
All Sandor machines are capable of achieving SA 2.5 (near-white) or SA 3 (white metal) surface finishes per ISO 8501-1. The specific finish depends on abrasive type, blast energy, exposure time, and the starting condition of the material. ACM can advise on the right machine configuration and blast parameters for your coating system requirements.
Yes. The Sandor CH-H is specifically designed as an integrated blast-paint-dry line. The Sandor I-Line can also be configured with downstream painting or priming stages. Integrated lines minimise the time between blasting and coating, reducing flash rust and contamination for better coating adhesion and longevity.
Yes. ACM provides full installation, commissioning, operator training, and ongoing service for all Akyapak Sandor shot blasting machines from our Cambridge, Ontario base. We serve fabricators across Ontario and Eastern Canada.
