Key Features
Sandor R-Line Features
Standard features that set this machine apart in demanding manufacturing environments.
Precision & Performance
- Fully automated PLC operation — parts detection, turbine activation, speed control, and abrasive flow managed from a central touch panel
- Inverter-driven roller conveyor lets operators fine-tune feed speed from 0.4 to 1.8 m/min to match material type and required finish quality
Ease of Operation
- Integrated abrasive recovery system with screw conveyors, dual-chain bucket elevator, and curtain-type separator keeps shot in circulation and costs down
- Pneumatic CNC abrasive valves control shot flow to each turbine independently for precise, consistent blast intensity
- Cartridge dust collectors with automatic pulse cleaning capture airborne particles and return filtered air to the shop floor
- PLC touch panel with built-in communication module supports remote diagnostics and process monitoring
- Continuous through-feed design eliminates batch loading and manual handling, reducing labour and increasing throughput
- Low-maintenance dual-chain bucket elevator transports abrasive from the blast cabinet to the separator with minimal downtime
Safety & Reliability
- Eight high-chrome turbines positioned at 30° deliver uniform blast coverage on all surfaces in a single through-feed pass
- Two model configurations cover work widths from 400 to 800 mm — the R 8x15 adds pipe spool capability for versatile production lines

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.
