VERA® Steel Shot

Hybrid steel shot VERA® is an ecological, reusable abrasive media, perfect for shot blasting process requiring high precision and repeatability.

 

VERA® Steel Shot

Our goal is to maximize your satisfaction and meet your growing requirements. That is why we started our cooperation with German foundry Eisenwerk Würth GmbH, which has over 100 years of experience in producing abrasives.

 

VERA® steel shot

VERA® is and hybrid steel shot with advantages of both low and high carbon materials. Thanks to unique chemical composition and production process it is a versatile, efficient abrasive material with long lifetime.

During the production, VERA® is subjected to a thermal improvement process – hardening and tempering – and is cleaned from mill scale and dust, which can be up to 10% of the volume of the other metallic materials. Shot blasting process with VERA® shot is less dusty, which lowers the usage of filters.

 

Properties of VERA® steel shot

The unique attribute of VERA® shot is that it rubs slowly instead of a break during the shot blasting process. It is a crucial feature, thanks to that VERA® is very efficient and harmless for the machine.

The other feature is that VERA® incrase its own hardness during the process:

  • New grains: HV 1,0 ok. 420-480 = HRC 42.7-47.7
  • Operational mix: HV 1,0 ok. 460-520 = HRC 46.1-50.5

The VERA® steel shot is innovative hybrid abrasive material with a long lifetime of low carbon steel shot and high efficiency of high carbon steel shot. Due to that, it allows to the easy, fast and economical shot blasting. It is a very versatile material, any other cannot match it.
