Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Grit sorting workers are specialists in the manufacturing process who classify and inspect abrasives (grit) used for polishing and surface treatment by appropriate particle sizes. They contribute to foreign matter removal and the stable supply of standard products through manual or machine-based sieving classification and quality checks.
Description
Grit sorting workers handle the task of classifying abrasives (grit) used for polishing and cleaning surfaces of castings and metal products by precise particle sizes and removing foreign objects and quality defects. Work involves particle size classification using sieves (sieves), operation of machines such as vibrating sieving machines, inspection for foreign matter contamination, and final checks before shipment. Since the work environment may involve dust and noise, safety and health measures are important. A certain level of physical strength is required, centered on handling heavy objects and standing work. Additionally, by closely collaborating with manufacturing lines and surface treatment processes, they support product finishing quality by supplying stable, high-quality abrasives.
Future Outlook
Even as automation and mechanization in manufacturing advance, the demand for skilled workers capable of detailed quality checks is expected to persist.
