Desanding in foundry is a critical post-casting process that ensures the quality and functionality of metal parts. During casting, liquid metal is poured into a sand mold. Once the metal cools and solidifies, it emerges encased in a hard, sticky layer of sand. The primary objective in desanding is to remove this sand completely without damaging the part, preparing it for subsequent machining operations.

Shot blasting systems are used in many industrial fields for mechanical processing, cleaning, finishing or improving the strength of metals. The process involves subjecting the piece to a jet of spherical or angular metal shot or another abrasive. There are different types of shot blasting systems: the simplest are those consisting of manual compressed air sandblasting machines while the automatic systems use a turbine powered by an engine to increase the output speed of the abrasive. Using a shot blasting system changes the surface of the treated piece which can undergo different processes depending on its final use.
