Refractory and Core Removal Process.


The Kastech Cleaning Processes were developed by Kolene Corp. to remove refractory refractory

Other application-specific casting cleaning processes include Basic, a moderate load batch cleaning process; and Ceram-X, a mid-range process that replaces mechanical cleaning methods.
