Each of these industries requires unique blasting media tailored to their specific surface treatment needs, and we are committed to offering the best possible solutions to help optimise results. Whether you’re looking to remove contaminants, finish metal parts, or prepare surfaces for coating, our shot blasting media is the ideal choice.
FOUNDRIES
In foundries, where precision and quality are paramount, our shot blasting media plays a key role in cleaning and finishing castings, removing sand, scale, and other impurities. Our abrasive materials ensure the creation of smooth, defect-free surfaces, preparing components for further processing or coating applications.
STEEL FABRICATORS
Steel fabrication often requires aggressive surface preparation for tasks like rust and scale removal, and our range of shot blasting media is ideal for such demanding applications. From cleaning steel plates and beams to preparing steel parts for painting or coating, we provide abrasives that enhance the quality and efficiency of fabrication processes.
POWDER COATERS
For powder coating applications, achieving a clean, well-prepared surface is essential for proper adhesion. Our shot blasting media helps remove contaminants, corrosion, and old coatings, creating an optimal surface profile for powder coating. This results in a superior finish that enhances durability and appearance.
AUTOMOTIVE
In the automotive industry, shot blasting is used for cleaning, deburring, and surface finishing of parts and components. Our media is used in a variety of applications, from removing rust and contaminants from car body panels to peening parts for added strength and resistance to fatigue. Whether for precision cleaning or enhancing the performance of automotive parts, we have the right abrasive for the job.
AEROSPACE
The aerospace industry requires the highest level of precision and cleanliness for both structural and engine components. Shot blasting is used in aerospace applications for cleaning turbine blades, preparing surfaces for coatings, and improving metal fatigue resistance. Our media is ideal for these critical tasks, ensuring that components meet rigorous quality standards while maintaining performance and safety.
RAIL
For the rail industry, shot blasting is an essential process for cleaning rail tracks, removing rust, scale, and contaminants, and preparing surfaces for coating or welding. We supply shot blasting media that effectively removes unwanted materials and prepares rail components for high-performance coatings that help prevent wear and corrosion.
STONE
Shot blasting is widely used in the stone industry for surface cleaning, texturing, and finishing. Whether you're working with granite, marble, or other natural stones, our media is designed to clean and smooth the surfaces, enhancing the aesthetic appearance while maintaining the integrity of the material.
SHOT BLASTERS
Shot blasters themselves require a variety of media to cater to different types of surface preparation tasks. Our comprehensive selection ensures that shot blasters can choose the appropriate abrasive for cleaning, peening, or finishing metal, stone, or other materials. From high-performance grit to more delicate media, we have all the options needed for optimal blasting results.
METAL POLISHERS
In the metal polishing industry, achieving a flawless, shiny finish is the goal. Our media is used for polishing and finishing metal parts, ensuring that surfaces are smooth, polished, and free of imperfections. Our range includes media that can create everything from matte finishes to highly reflective, mirror-like surfaces, depending on your requirements.
CONSTRUCTION & MANUFACTURING
For construction and manufacturing industries, shot blasting is an essential process for surface preparation, such as cleaning concrete, removing coatings, and preparing surfaces for sealing. We offer abrasives that are ideal for use in large-scale construction projects and manufacturing facilities, ensuring that surfaces are prepped to perfection.
MARINE
In the marine industry, our shot blasting media is used to clean and prepare metal parts, ship hulls, and equipment exposed to harsh environmental conditions. Effective rust and scale removal are crucial for maintaining the longevity of marine assets, and our abrasives help ensure surfaces are treated with precision, preparing them for anti-corrosion coatings.
