Blast Media Walnut Shells

Eden Products Ltd is the leading UK provider of Walnut Shell Granules to be used on a selection of Shot Blast Equipment.

Walnuts are pre-ground, cleaned, and the membrane and fat are removed from the shell before they go for further processing. They are specifically ground on hammer and roller mills to get the right size and surface of the granule. Walnut Shells are ground to numerous sizes (coarse, Medium and fine) for the use in a variety of applications.

Direct injected vehicles have one big drawback over port-injected engines, which is that carbon deposits can build up after a while, requiring them to be removed at regular intervals all through the lifespan of the engine. The simplest and common method to do this is the use of Walnut Shells in a method commonly known as Walnut Blasting. Walnut blasting is when crushed and graded walnut shells are blown into the vehicle’s engine (intake valve) using an air compressor. It works similar to a sand blaster removing the carbon deposits from the surface being blasted. Walnut blasting is recognised by most mechanics as one of the safest and most successful ways of eradicating carbon deposits from your car’s intake manifold and intake valves. Almost all direct-injected engines will require this de-carbonisation procedure finished at frequent intervals throughout the lifespan of the vehicle’s engine.

Walnut Shells may also be used as a burnout media in the ceramics and catalysts market. Through the production process of ceramics and catalysts, the binders and other organic materials used must be burned out to make certain that the final product has the desired qualities. Walnut Shells are used as a burnout media due to their high heat resistance, low ash content, and ability to release gasses evenly during the burnout process.
