VERA® Steel Shot
Guaranteed stability of your machining process, from start to finish.
Who was VERA® shotgun pellets created for?
VERA® shot was developed for companies that require maximum process stability and predictable production costs. It is ideal for industrial plants where consistent shot blasting results, low dust generation, reduced material loss, and extended machine part life are key. Its benefits will be appreciated by both large metal foundries and manufacturers of products exported to highly corrosive regions, such as coastal regions, where the Breasl test is the standard for quality. With its exceptionally low salt content and lack of scale, VERA® meets the needs of even the most demanding industries.
What distinguishes VERA® shot from other standard solutions?
VERA® is a shot with an optimized chemical composition that offers a service life that’s up to 30-50% longer than traditional high-carbon shots. This allows users to reduce their annual shot blasting costs by at least 10%. Unique production technology—including the use of disposable casting water—guarantees the lowest salt content on the market, which is crucial for corrosion resistance. Furthermore, thanks to pre-scale removal, VERA® generates up to 10% less dust, reducing filter wear and waste disposal costs. Customers receive 100% usable material—every ton represents real value, without waste.

Production method and structure are the key to success
VERA® is manufactured in a controlled process that closely monitors alloy quality, structural uniformity, and hardness stability. This shot has a bainitic structure, preventing it from breaking into small, sharp-edged particles during use. This protects the processed workpieces and the components of the shot blasting equipment—blades, linings, and hoses. This can extend the service life of shot blasting components by up to 30%.
The Eisenwerk Wurth foundry, as the manufacturer of VERA®, offers the option of blending fractions during production, eliminating the need for additional shot segregation at the customer’s facility.
In which industry is VERA® shot suitable?
Iron and steel foundries
In the foundry industry, a fast and stable shot blasting process is the foundation of production. We understand the realities of foundry operations—shot blasting machines operate in continuous cycles, under heavy loads. The magnetic separator is the heart of the system, and shot quality determines part wear, dust generation, and costs. We help foundries optimize their processes for durability and real savings.
Agricultural machinery manufacturers
In the agricultural machinery industry, surface preparation is the foundation of a durable coating. Manufacturers operate under pressure to meet quality and deadlines—every complaint is costly. VERA® shot ensures consistent roughness, longer component life, and reduced dust. At one company, shot consumption dropped by 75%, lowering costs and stabilizing the process.
Manufacturers of steel structures and products
The shot blasting process is the foundation of corrosion protection. We understand the realities of production—lines cannot stand still, and the results must be repeatable: clean parts, proper roughness, low part wear, and predictable cycle costs. We help companies configure their shot blasting machines to optimize separation, reduce part wear, and lower TCO by up to 40% annually.
Is your company in a different industry? That’s okay!
VERA® is used in numerous sectors, from steel structures and specialized vehicles to shipbuilding and energy. Thanks to technical support and individual parameter selection, we can tailor the shot blasting process to any production environment. If you need durability, cleanliness, and process safety, VERA® is the right choice.
