Our Products

Aluminum Flakes

With aluminum flakes, it’s all about the high surface to weight ratio. With a thickness of 25 microns and length and width dimensions 600 or 1000 × 1000 microns chemical reactions are more predictable. Aluminum flakes are safer than aluminum powders. They are rated as non-hazardous to handle. See the “Shape Makes A Difference” article.

Aluminum Shot

From cleaning unwanted rust to flash removal of light metal castings, this cast aluminum shot serves a number of purposes. This lightweight blast media excels in coating removal, paint removal, and any cleaning application that requires a gentle touch. Cast aluminum shot is a good choice when a non-contaminating blast media is needed on aluminum parts.

Zinc Shot

Transmet’s zinc needles are cast in a proprietary centrifugal atomization process that makes this product truly unique. You will receive a size and shape you can rely on. We pride ourselves on consistency above all else.

Our Case Studies

Zinc/Aluminum Shot

How Blast Media Impacts Blast Machine Component life

When choosing the appropriate blast media for finishing, consider how it will impact machine wear and machine component life.
Aluminum Shot

How Abrasive Blast Media Durability Relates to Dust

Transmet is frequently approached by people in various positions with concerns about the amount of dust generated in their plant from shot blasting (abrasive blasting) operations.
Zinc Shot

Shot blasting results after replacing zinc cut wire

Reduce blasting cost by finding a more effective media to work faster and last longer, without damaging the delicate detail of the parts.
Zinc Shot/Shot Lab

Eliminate Welding and Grinding after Shot blasting aluminum sand castings

Using steel grit for blasting aluminum and castings resulted in a dull gray finish on the surface of aluminum castings and frequently opened porosity on the surface of the castings.
Zinc Shot

Cleaning Carbon, Rust, Paint from Bearing Components

A remanufacturer of mild steel bearing components needed to remove carbon buildup, rust, and old paint from their components.
Zinc Shot

Solving Excessive Wear Issues in Cylinder Refinishing Industry

Companies refinishing compressed gas cylinders for various industries have historically used steel shot to clean rust from the tanks prior to hydrostatic testing and re-painting of the cylinders.
Zinc Shot

Cleaning Aluminum Cores for Remanufacturing

Blast cleaning aluminum cores can be difficult, balancing the need to clean with the need to preserve detail on the cores. Cleaning with steel shot or other aggressive media cleans fast, but destroys mating surfaces and threads, resulting in additional grinding or re-treading to repair the damage.
Zinc Shot

Testing the durability & Agressiveness of shot alloys

Testing shot products in the field is time consuming and not practical. Changing media sizes and alloys is difficult in production equipment.
