Painting, Coating and Blasting

Shot Blasting

At ABT Products, trust, quality and performance are built into every stage of our process — and that starts with surface preparation. Our in-house shot blasting capability is a vital part of how we deliver consistent, durable finished products for OEM programmes. By preparing steel properly from the outset, we help ensure downstream coatings and paint systems perform as intended, protecting components in real working environments.

A quality-first foundation for finishing

Shot blasting removes mill scale, rust, oxidation and surface contamination, leaving a clean, uniform base material ready for coating or paint. This isn’t just a cosmetic step; it directly influences long-term performance by improving adhesion and consistency, helping deliver:

  • Stronger bonding for coatings and paint systems
  • More consistent finish quality across production runs
  • Improved corrosion protection in harsh conditions
  • Greater overall durability of the finished part

When surface preparation is done right, everything that follows becomes more reliable.

Recent investment

ABT are proud to have recently invested in a new, automated and state of the art shot blaster. Able to shot blast numerous large items on a constant tracked system, this new equipment not only offer our customers an additional service offering in terms of surface preparation, but also increases our factory capacity and increases efficiency markedly.

Part of ABT’s end-to-end manufacturing service

Shot blasting is integrated into ABT’s wider, end-to-end service, supporting a smooth flow from raw material through to finished product. Keeping this process in-house gives customers greater confidence in both quality control and lead times, with fewer handovers and more consistent results.

This joined-up approach is how ABT earns trust and delivers quality, while ensuring the final product performs as it should.

Trust the process. Trust the finish.

By treating shot blasting as a critical step rather than an afterthought, ABT helps OEM customers achieve repeatable, production-ready results. It’s a simple part of the process, but it plays a major role in the quality and performance of everything we manufacture.
