Cardinal 2460 Spinner Hanger
Introducing the Cardinal 2460 Dual-Chamber Spinner Hanger Blaster—a state-of-the-art, floor-mounted cabinet designed to transform high-volume blasting tasks. This cutting-edge system includes two synchronized chambers: one for loading and unloading, and the other for an intensive blast cycle. After the blast cycle finishes, the chamber drum rotates, moving the loaded section into the blast chamber and the processed section to the front for quick unloading and reloading, ensuring maximum production efficiency and a smooth, continuous workflow. Parts hang on a spinning fixture tree to expose every surface to the blast, with the drum rotating to allow multiple blast angles for thorough coverage. The system features two powerful 7.5 HP, 12″ diameter blast wheels—one turning clockwise and the other counterclockwise—for consistent, robust blasting performance.
The carousel walls are lined with cast liners, and the system is built from thick steel plate for durability and reliability. Modern features include PLC/HMI control systems for easy operation, adjustable speed spinners and chamber drives for precise control, and strong protective linings to handle demanding blasting tasks. The Cardinal 2460 also offers automated cycle management and customizable blast settings, making it perfect for industries needing precise and efficient blasting. These advanced features and sturdy construction make the Cardinal 2460 Dual-Chamber Spinner Hanger Blaster the top choice for superior performance and reliability in high-production settings.

CENTRIFUGAL BLAST WHEEL
WHEEL: Two efficiently designed single-sided blast wheels minimizes the overhung load on the motor and reduces the time required to change blades, impellers, and control cage. The standard blast wheel measures 12” in diameter and features seven curved blades for optimal abrasive control. All components are balanced to ensure smooth operation. With a high horsepower-to-weight ratio, this system enhances abrasive delivery efficiency per unit of horsepower.
MOTOR Direct drive motor revolves at 3600 RPM. Taper lock brushed motor shaft with NEMA tolerance.
BLADES: Our innovative Snap Lock system simplifies blade replacement without the need for tools. Crafted from abrasion-resistant alloy in our in-house foundry, our curved blades offer optimal abrasive control. Cardinal shot blast wheels allow for effortless blade replacement in sizes 12”, 13.5”, or 15”, enhancing shot velocity and increasing versatility.
CONTROL CAGE Dial type cage for ease of targeting the abrasive flow.
WHEEL HOUSING Our wheel housings are made from durable steel plate and are fully lined with replaceable cast chrome manganese alloy liners produced in our own foundry.
Blast Cabinet Crafted from durable ¼” steel plate, our cabinet construction promises unparalleled durability and reliability, with ½” AR400 back wall. Thoughtfully designed access doors allow for maintenance efficiency. Additionally, tramp metal is effectively captured on lower abrasive screens, ensuring that large debris is meticulously filtered out before it can reach the abrasive hopper, maintaining optimal blasting performance and equipment longevity.
Dual Chamber Carousel The Cardinal dual chamber spinner hangers boast exceptional quality with a structurally reinforced and fully welded carousel crafted from durable ¼ & ⅜ steel plate. This robust carousel rotates on a sturdy 3″ diameter shaft, bolstered by a heavy-duty thrust bearing for smooth operation. Additionally, the inclusion of hook spindles on each chamber enhances the functionality and versatility of the spinner hangers, allowing for efficient and effective hanging of items. This design ensures long-lasting performance and reliability in industrial settings.
Chamber Lining The Cardinal dual chamber spinner hangers feature carousel chambers lined with their proprietary cast alloy liners, providing exceptional durability and wear resistance. To enhance performance even further, the top and bottom of the chambers are lined with abrasive-resistant steel for added protection. For those seeking tailor-made solutions, optional liner upgrade packages are available to customize the spinner hangers to specific processes and applications, ensuring optimal performance and longevity in diverse industrial environments.
Chamber Drive : The Cardinal unique chamber drive design features an advanced carousel system powered by an electric motor and gear reducer, which activates a low-speed, high-torque “HTD” type drive assembly. This modern approach leverages PLC programming to replace outdated mechanical relays and timers, simplifying troubleshooting and maintenance. Additionally, adjustable stops on the carousel top work seamlessly with proximity switches to offer customizable indexing options.
MATERIAL HANDLING
Hook Spindle The continual rotation of the hook spindle during the blasting operation ensures comprehensive exposure of all parts to the blast pattern. This consistent movement allows for even coverage, eliminating blind spots and ensuring that every surface of the parts receives the necessary treatment. By maintaining a uniform blast, the system enhances the quality and consistency of the finish, leading to superior results. Furthermore, this design maximizes the efficiency of the blasting process, reducing the time required and improving overall productivity.
Hook Spindle Maximum area provided for material to be blasted is 24” diameter x 48” long. Optimal is 24” x 36” for top to bottom blasting. 1,500 pounds maximum capacity. Spindle speed, variable.
ABRASIVE RECYCLING SYSTEM
ELEVATOR Our belt and bucket elevator features centrifugal discharge and is outfitted with a 5-inch elevator belt along with cast buckets. The screw-adjusted shaft take-ups guarantee accurate belt alignment. The abrasive shot blast media is efficiently conveyed by the buckets to the hopper positioned above the machine, where the media will flow to the shot blast wheel.
Optional Rotary Screen Our standard lower and upper screens feature a 1/2” mesh size. We provide the option of adding a Rotary Screen. The Rotary Screen consists of a metal drum with 1/4″ perforations and an internal auger, specifically designed to effectively screen larger debris from the Media and discharge it out of the system. The screened Media then proceeds through to the hopper.
Abrasive Control Valve Totally enclosed butterfly valves are air cylinder operated. Fully adjustable for abrasive flow control.
Abrasive Separator The Single 20” Lip Separator, also known as a media air wash, efficiently removes fines and dust from blasting media, ensuring only clean, heavy media is recycled through the shot blast wheel. As media is returned to the hopper above the blast wheel, it spreads into a waterfall, creating a thin blanket of flowing media. A dust collector then pulls air across this stream, eliminating unwanted particles and allowing clean media to return to the abrasive hopper, ready for reuse. This process maintains high-quality blasting media, enhancing the effectiveness and longevity of the blasting operation.
Abrasive Required 2,000 pounds.
VENTILATION
Dust Collection Effectively eliminates dust-laden air from the machine, ensuring a cleaner work environment. Incorporated with a single 20-inch lip separator that efficiently separates fines and dust from larger abrasives, keeping the media clean as it is returned to the blast system. The machine requires a 2000 CFM dust collector, sold separately. Collector control circuit pre-wired on all Cardinal Shot blasters for easy integration.
