Advantages
Extended Life / Durability
Uniform particles maintain shape longer; lasts 2-3× longer than cast shot/grit.
Consistent Performance & Coverage
Uniform size and mass ensure even coverage and stable results every cycle.
Lower Dust & Fines Generation
Produces less dust and waste, keeping the workspace cleaner and reducing losses.
Precision & Clean Results
Efficiently removes scale, rust, and paint for smooth, clean surfaces.
Cost Efficiency Over Lifecycle
Longer life and less waste reduce maintenance and overall costs.
Better Control over Shot Chemistry & Quality
Wire-based raw material enables tighter control and consistent quality.
