Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Manufacturing site worker who removes sand and burrs from cast products obtained in the casting process and finishes dimensions and surface quality.
Description
Casting cleaning lifting workers remove mold sand from castings after solidification in the casting manufacturing process, cut and polish gates and burrs to shape the products. They use shot blasting machines, grinders, hammers, and chisels for the work, and measure the finish with calipers or micrometers to maintain high dimensional accuracy and surface quality. Additionally, since the products are heavy, they perform transportation and slinging operations using cranes or forklifts, and are required to manage safety and operate the line efficiently based on work plans.
Future Outlook
While automation and robotization are progressing in the casting industry, the demand for skilled cleaning and lifting workers is expected to continue for products requiring complex shapes and high-quality finishes.
