We changed the process to use a slinger process where veins rotated on a
shaft and slung the media against the block which rotated also.  The
media
was a stainless steel with the ends cut at 45 deg angles.  The length
was
.100 as I remember and left no glass contamination.

The removal of the oil was a baking process, 450 deg for 12 hrs with a
fan to
stir the oven air.

I think this process may be available in small numbers if anyone is
interested, I will get a price quotation.

This process was pioneered by the Wheelabrator Co. and
is quite popular with many automotive machine shops.
Bake first, Blast second, Wash third.
A typical V-8 and its constituent parts runs about $100.
