Low carbon steel shot
Durable, low-dust, and recyclable abrasive media for surface cleaning.
Low carbon steel shot is designed for cleaning, desanding, and descaling metal surfaces.
Produced from high-quality low-carbon steel with low sulfur and phosphorus content, it features a bainitic microstructure providing excellent durability, low breakage, and long-lasting performance.
Its lower hardness reduces machine wear and dust emission, optimizing blasting system efficiency.
Reduced machine wear – softer structure minimizes wear on blades and components.
• Lower production cost – no post-casting heat treatment required.
• Low dust emission – less maintenance and filtration cost.
• Reusable & recyclable.
• Uniform grain structure and stability.

Premium Steel Abrasives
Premium Steel Shot & Grit — Maximum Durability and Surface Quality
MetaCore Global Premium Steel Shot/Grit is designed for companies that need high cleaning efficiency, stable blasting performance, and lower operational costs. While standard steel shot offers 2400–2500 cycles, our premium series delivers 3000–3500+ cycles thanks to its enhanced properties.
• Higher resistance to breakdown — less dust and lower material consumption.
• Reduced equipment wear — uniform grains minimize impact stress on blades and separators.
• Stable performance — consistent impact energy throughout the entire operating cycle.
• Longer service life → fewer abrasive reloads → up to 20–30% savings compared to standard shot.
• Cleaner blasted surfaces — low impurity and salt levels reduce corrosion risk after cleaning.
Although its purchase price is higher, premium steel shot reduces total operational costs by offering:
- extended service life,
- less waste and dust generation,
- lower abrasive consumption per ton of cleaned surface,
- shorter equipment maintenance downtime.
Result — lower cleaning cost per square meter with higher surface quality.
Premium Steel Shot/Grit is the solution for operations where stability, cleanliness, efficiency, and quality control truly matter.
Our specialists will help select the ideal shot type and hardness for your process.
Blended Steel Media – Hybrid Mix for Efficient Surface Preparation
Blended Steel Media is a precisely balanced mix of spherical steel shot and angular steel grit, combining impact force and cutting action in a single abrasive system.
The controlled ratio ensures high cleaning efficiency, reduced machine wear, and consistent surface profile with every cycle.
- Superior cleaning performance — shot removes scale, rust, and coatings, while grit shapes and textures the surface.
- Reduced energy consumption — lower turbine load and smoother media flow.
- Less dust generation — cleaner operation and longer media life.
- Improved surface profile — controlled roughness ideal for coating and painting.
- Extended equipment life — spherical shot cushions impact, reducing mechanical wear.
Parameter | Standard Steel Shot | Blended Steel Media |
|---|---|---|
Cleaning Speed | Standard | +20–30% faster |
Equipment Wear | Higher | 15–25% lower |
Abrasive Consumption | Moderate | Up to 20% less |
Surface Consistency | Variable | Uniform |
Dust Level | High | Low |
