Custom enclosure sizes and options are available for the cabinet, which can be used with glass-bead, aluminum-oxide, steel-grit or shot, and other recyclable media. Possible applications include cleaning, deburring, peening and finishing in the aerospace, automotive and fabricated metal industries.
