we featured the news release Foundry desanding and blast cleaning is continuous from
Rosler Oberflaechentechnik: "A continuous spinner hanger shot blast machine offered a steel foundry high performance/productivity in relation to the price to process castings weighing from 50 to 10,000kg".
In October 2007, we covered the news from Wheelabrator Group
