It does not exist yet, but they need something big, approximately like this: https://www.google.lv/search?q=SANDHYA+900&rlz=1C1LENP_enLV616LV616&es_sm=93&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=A95LVYajCaTkyAOjx4GwCQ&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1407&bih=780#tbm=isch&q=SANDYA+900&nfpr=1&imgrc=xhDvGEpPzcCvhM%253A%3BpNwp_Hw5nndubM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fpartners.scmgroup.com%252Fmedia%252Fuserfiles%252Ffile%252Fsuper%252520finitore%252520zoom.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fpartners.scmgroup.com%252Fgatech%252Fproducts.asp%253Fp%253D11965%3B770%3B1155 This one in the picture is one of the potential machines with 3 sanding belts (because they need to remove up to 1 mm from the thickness of the plate). So there is no option of dropping the drum below. Theoretically I could get a job of building the sanding machine (and place a sanding belts also for bottom side), but I feel that there are too much technical details about the whole process that I should know for successful result, so I lean towards skipping such an endeavor and build only the conveyor and the unit that turns the plates over.
