POST-CASTING OPERATIONS Shot-Blasting Machine IMF Group, which acquired shot blasting equipment


manufacturer Carlo Banfi in 2010, displayed a shot-blasting machine for continuous sand removal and shot blasting of castings with ranging weights and shapes, specifically designed for heavy duty applications and high production demands.
