The Heesemann FGA8 is a used sander — sometimes referred to as a wide-belt sander or abrasive belt machine — designed for surface finishing, paint sanding, and material preparation across a range of panel and workpiece applications. Heesemann is a well-regarded German manufacturer specialising in precision sanding and surface finishing machinery, supplying equipment to the woodworking, furniture, and panel processing industries.
This machine is configured as a modular, multi-purpose sanding unit combining sanding and finishing capabilities in a single system. It accepts sanding belts measuring 2,620 × 1,350 mm, giving it a maximum working belt width of 1,350 mm — a generous capacity suited to wide-format panels and boards. The abrasive belt runs with an oscillating action, which promotes even abrasion across the workpiece surface and extends belt life by distributing wear uniformly.
The sanding belt drive is rated at 11 kW, and belt speed is frequency-controlled, allowing the operator to adjust surface speed to suit the material and finish requirements without mechanical change parts. The sanding belt unit itself is height-adjustable, while the conveyor belt runs at a fixed height; this arrangement means the gap between the abrasive head and the workpiece is set by raising or lowering the sanding unit rather than the feed conveyor. Maximum workpiece clearance height — the largest thickness of material the machine can accept — is 140 mm, accommodating solid timber components as well as sheet materials.
The machine stands approximately 2,310 mm tall, with a footprint of 2,210 × 2,320 mm, and has a total weight of 4,500 kg. Built in 1995 and located in Delaware, Germany, it is offered in used condition.
