Classification
Summary
A manufacturing job that adjusts, regenerates, and processes sand (molding sand) used for casting molds to maintain quality.
Description
Molding sand processors mix and adjust molding sand used for casting molds, and regenerate and process used sand to make it reusable. They handle a series of processes from receiving raw sand to operating kneaders, adding hardeners, drying and sieving, and quality inspection (particle size, contained components, color tone). They also perform important tasks such as machine inspection and cleaning, dust countermeasures, and safety and health management. To improve manufacturing line efficiency and reduce defects, they maintain stable quality based on standard work instructions.
Future Outlook
While automation and labor reduction are advancing, demand for quality management and regeneration processing continues. The value of personnel with low environmental impact technologies and advanced quality management skills tends to increase.
