Classification
Summary
A job that blasts abrasives such as sand or glass beads with compressed air to polish, decorate, and clean the surface of glass products.
Description
Sandblast workers (glass product manufacturing) blast abrasives such as sand or glass beads at high pressure to polish, decorate, and clean the surface of glass products. They mainly handle sandblast machine operation, masking work, abrasive selection, and finished product quality inspection. They use masking tape or photoresist to protect areas not to be polished, aiming for a uniform finish. Dust and noise are generated, so wearing dust masks and protective gear, as well as safety management, is important. They work in dedicated booths within factories, perform machine cleaning and maintenance, and organize the workspace to achieve both efficiency and quality.
Future Outlook
With the diversification of glass products, demand for decoration and fine processing is increasing, keeping demand stable. Progress in automation and robotization requires even greater machine operation skills.
