What Are Steel Shots?

Steel shots are spherical metallic abrasives made from molten high-carbon steel, atomized and then heat-treated to achieve precise hardness, density, and toughness. These shots are engineered to clean and treat metal surfaces using mechanical impact energy, making them ideal for:

  • Surface cleaning

  • Paint and rust removal

  • Descaling and deburring

  • Shot peening

  • Surface preparation prior to coating or painting

As a leading steel shots manufacturer Kenya, we ensure that every product batch undergoes strict quality control, offering high recyclability, consistent particle size, and minimal dust formation.

Applications of Steel Shots in Kenya

1. Shot Blasting / Cleaning

Steel shots are commonly used to:

  • Remove rust, scale, paint, and oxidation from steel surfaces

  • Clean containers, metal tanks, construction steel, and pipelines

  • Used extensively in construction projects 

2. Shot Peening

  • Increases fatigue resistance by inducing compressive stress on surface layers

  • Used in automotive parts, agricultural machinery, and aerospace components

  • Helps extend the life of critical load-bearing components

3. Surface Preparation Before Coating

  • Ensures uniform surface roughness (Ra/Rz) for adhesion

  • Ideal before powder coating, galvanizing, or painting

  • Common in steel fabrication, ship repair, and bridge maintenance

4. Descaling and Deburring

  • Removes scale, burrs, and slag from forged or machined parts

  • Used in rolling mills, foundries, and metal workshops

Our steel shots manufacturing company Kenya supports clients in industrial parks and EPZs with optimized abrasive solutions for wheel blasting systems, air-blast cabinets, and manual blast rooms.
