What is Shot Blasting?
Shot blasting is a powerful mechanical cleaning process that uses abrasive materials to remove surface contaminants like rust, old coatings, and scale. It’s a crucial step in preparing metal surfaces for welding, painting, or coating, ensuring better adhesion and longevity.
Benefits of Shot Blasting
✔ Rust & Paint Removal – Strips off old coatings efficiently.
✔ Surface Smoothing – Prepares metal for optimal adhesion.
✔ Enhanced Durability – Prepares surfaces for longer-lasting coatings and protection.
✔ Eco-Friendly Process – Uses recyclable abrasives with minimal waste.
