Shot Blasting Services That Deliver Precision

Shot blasting is an essential surface preparation method used to strip rust, scale, paint and other contaminants, ensuring surfaces are clean and ready for painting or coating.

At WG Tanker, our specialist team uses a variety of abrasives, including chilled iron, iron silicate, aluminium oxide and garnet, to deliver a precision finish for ferrous and non-ferrous fabrications. This intricate process enhances surface cleaning, profiling, deburring, and fatigue resistance.

Key benefits of shot blasting include:

Surface Cleaning & Profiling for optimal adhesion.
Deburring to remove sharp edges or burrs.
Enhanced Fatigue Resistance for improved durability and lifespan.

Once cleaned, your material will be prepped for the next step, whether that’s painting, thermal metal spraying or galvanising.

Attention to Detail

WG Tanker pay particular attention to the detail ensuring our customers equipment is in a good order advising of any defects in their equipment that are not visible before the blast cleaning takes place.

We offer shot blasting of bare steel as well as blast cleaning of already painted parts to suit our customer needs, from blasting a large vessel for a multi coat paint system or blast only with palletising and wrapping of small components and everything in-between we are happy to help.
