Description
Sandblast workers spray sand at high speed onto the surface of cast products to remove casting defects, burrs, rust, etc. Main tasks include operating blast equipment, adjusting nozzle angles and pressure, quality inspections before and after operations, equipment maintenance and cleaning, and safety management.
