Shot Blasting

Shot blasting is the perfect preparatory operation for achieving the best surface adhesion for paint. Abrasive particles are fired under total visual control of your component in our blast room. The surface is gently etched, removing surface contaminants such as old paint, and rust or mill scale.

Different types of blast media can be used for different materials, enabling us to blast mild steel, stainless steel and wood.

We use chilled iron to shot blast mild steel which can then be powder coated or primed and top coated.

We use glass bead to shot blast stainless steel which gives a satin finish, removing surface imperfections and welding discolouration, eliminating the need for pickling.

Our shot blasting room measures 6m x 2.4m x 2.4m and we currently handle items up to 1000kgs.

We can blast to –

• SA2 (good commercial blast)
• SA2.5 (near white metal, thorough blast clean)
• SA3 (white metal)
