Home / Expert Shot Blasting Services

We provide high quality shot blasting services at our purpose-built facility based in Hampshire.

Our shot blasting services are the ideal solution for those that want to clean and prime surfaces for subsequent treatment, such as painting or powder coating. To ensure maximum durability, shot blasting should be carried out prior to the painting or powder coating process.

Effective shot blasting includes removing rust, previous paint coating and mill scale to ensure the metal surface is completely bare. This is beneficial as it removes the need to use harsh chemicals that have an impact on the environment.

With our 6 metre long and 3.5 metre wide shot blasting unit on site, we are capable of superb metal cleaning and high-quality preparation for any subsequent metal finishing coatings such as Thermal Spray, Wet Spray Painting or various wet paint finishes. With surface profile inspections and comparator checks, we can ensure all work is completed to the required specification.

What is the shot blasting process?

Shot blasting involves blasting abrasive media at a very high velocity onto a metal substrate. The purpose of this is to achieve a clean, abraded surface, which is prepped, ready to receive a subsequent coating. The cleanliness of the media is imperative to ensure you do not introduce contamination under your finished coating.

Benefits of shot blasting

  • Efficiently cleans surfaces leaving an abraded white metal profile
  • Surfaces are primed for coatings
  • Rust, mil scale, contamination and unwanted paint coatings are removed
  • An eco-friendly method that does not require harsh chemicals
