TECH & INNOVATIONMetal is an important material used where we need maximum strength and durability. While it's strong, it gets dirty with rust. Metallic materials can't be cleaned with soap or washing powder. The rust eats metal until it's good for nothing, so it's important to keep cleaning it. A vibratory finishing machine is used to remove rust and clean them for finishing.
