SHOT BLASTING
Shot blasting, also referred to as abrasive blasting, is a generic term denoting the process of refining, sculpting, and cleansing a solid surface by propelling solid particles across it at high velocities. This method bears a resemblance to using sandpaper but results in a more uniform finish, eliminating issues at corners or in hard-to-reach areas. Shot blasting can occur naturally, often through wind-borne particles causing aeolian erosion, or artificially, employing compressed air.
Typically, shot blasting equipment comprises a chamber where shot and air are combined. This blend is then directed through a handheld nozzle to propel particles onto the surface or workpiece. Nozzles are available in various shapes, sizes, and materials, with boron carbide being a favoured choice due to its resistance to abrasive wear.

Glass Bead Blasting
One advantage of using glassbead lies in the environmental friendliness, as it does not contain any free silica—a common concern in metal finishing operations. Traditional sandblasting media often contains free silica, which during the abrasion process, then these harmful chemicals can be released.
Aluminium Oxide Blasting
It is compatible with various industrial budgets, making it suitable for completing diverse projects. Aluminium oxide proves effective in eliminating impurities, scale, and rust from project surfaces. Additionally, it is well-suited for etching and preparing surfaces for painting or coating, facilitating better adhesion.
