Blasting

ShellPro Inc. produces premium Soft Grit Abrasives from English Walnut Shell, Apricot Pit, and Almond Shell.

Walnut shell media is excellent for blasting as it can remove matter from surfaces without scratching or pitting underlying material.  It is biodegradable, non-toxic, environmentally, safe and cost effective.  It is also economical and reclaimable.

Uses include paint & coating removal, pressure blasting, engine clean-out, deflashing & ceramic burn-out operations.

We grind our shells to various sizes from coarse to extra fine, depending on the desired application.
