Context and positioning

SFGP (Société Française de Grenaillage & Peinture) is an established French manufacturer of wheel shot blasting machines and pressure-blast cabinets. Its equipment is installed at many automotive, rail and aerospace industrial sites.

Kronos Engineering provides process expertise on wheel and pressure shot blasting installations — AMS 2430 qualification, NADCAP Heat Treatment, OEM conformity certification. SFGP manufactures the equipment; Kronos provides the process qualification that the manufacturer does not deliver.

Typical operations

NADCAP qualification on existing shot blaster

Installation audit, AMS 2430 process qualification, NADCAP audit support — on existing machine park.

Parameter optimisation — pressure cabinet

Tuning pressure, media, distance and time to reach target Almen intensity while minimising media consumption.

Process certification on automotive & rail parts

Process sheet drafting, Almen tests, coverage, roughness measurement. Signed qualification.

NADCAP pre-audit

Internal pre-audit before the eQuaLearn auditor visits wheel shot blasting installations.

Why Kronos on SFGP (Société Française de Grenaillage & Peinture)

Independent process qualifier. The manufacturer sells and installs. Kronos qualifies and documents the installation to make it usable on sensitive parts (aerospace, nuclear, high-speed rail).

Process-oriented operator training. Focused on process mastery (not machine operation) — Almen intensity, coverage, media lot drift.

NADCAP support. We support operators targeting NADCAP Heat Treatment qualification.

Frequently asked questions

Is Kronos an SFGP reseller?+

No. We provide process expertise on already-installed shot blasters, train your operators and support NADCAP audits. To buy a machine, contact SFGP directly.

How long does NADCAP qualification of a shot blasting cabinet take?+

Typically 3 to 6 months depending on the initial state of the installation, the documentation already in place and the scope of parts to qualify. A Kronos pre-audit helps scope the real effort.
