roller conveyor shot blasting machine
Sandor R-Line
The Sandor R-Line is built for shops that need consistent, high-volume surface preparation without slowing the production line. Workpieces ride powered rollers through a fully enclosed blast cabinet where eight high-chrome turbines, angled at 30 degrees, deliver uniform cleaning across every surface in a single pass. A PLC-based touch panel manages the entire blast cycle — turbine activation, conveyor speed, and abrasive flow — so operators load material at the inlet and collect cleaned parts at the outlet with minimal intervention. The integrated abrasive recovery system uses screw conveyors, a dual-chain bucket elevator, and a curtain-type air separator to recirculate usable shot while removing fines, keeping operating costs predictable and blast quality steady. Cartridge dust collectors with automatic pulse cleaning maintain air quality and meet environmental standards. Available in two configurations — the R 8x1 for plates and profiles up to 400 mm wide, and the R 8x15 for wider work including pipe spools up to 800 mm — the Sandor R-Line scales to match your throughput requirements. ACM supplies the Sandor R-Line from Cambridge, Ontario with installation, commissioning, and ongoing service 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.
