When it comes to achieving a flawless surface finish, selecting the right shot blast medium is absolutely critical. Whether you’re looking for grit, bead, or any other shot blast medium, Stacey-Processing’s stock and expertise ensure your project gets the best product at the right grade — every single time. With decades of hands-on experience and an unwavering commitment to quality, we’ve built our reputation as the go-to supplier for surface preparation, cleaning, and finishing solutions across the UK and beyond.
Understanding the Importance of the Right Shot Blast Medium
Surface preparation is far more than just blasting away rust or paint — it’s a science. The correct shot blast medium can mean the difference between a perfectly prepared surface and one that compromises coating adhesion, finish consistency, or even component durability. At Stacey-Processing, we don’t just sell blasting media; we provide guidance rooted in real-world results.
Every application, from automotive restoration to aerospace manufacturing, requires a precise balance of abrasiveness, density, and particle size. That’s why our range includes an extensive variety of grits, glass beads, aluminium oxides, and steel shots — all available in multiple grades. Each medium is carefully sourced and tested to ensure consistent performance, longevity, and the perfect surface profile for your specific project.
Why Choose Stacey-Processing for Shot Blast Mediums?
We understand that no two blasting jobs are ever the same. Some demand a coarse grit for aggressive removal of mill scale, while others require a fine bead for delicate finishing work. Our broad selection ensures that whether you’re looking for grit, bead, or any other shot blast medium, you’ll find the ideal solution in our stockroom.
At Stacey-Processing, we’ve invested heavily in maintaining a diverse inventory to meet industrial and commercial needs quickly. That means reduced lead times, consistent supply, and full traceability — so you can order with confidence, knowing you’re getting the right material for your application.
Moreover, our in-house technical experts are always available to advise on medium selection, operating parameters, and blasting techniques. Their guidance helps customers optimise efficiency, extend equipment life, and minimise waste — delivering tangible cost savings across the board.
Comprehensive Range of Shot Blast Mediums
Our product range is designed to support virtually every industry and requirement:
- Steel Grit and Steel Shot: Ideal for heavy-duty cleaning, descaling, and surface profiling of ferrous materials. Available in multiple hardness grades to suit both centrifugal and air blasting systems.
- Glass Beads: Perfect for achieving a smooth, satin finish without dimensional change, making them a favourite in precision manufacturing and aerospace applications.
- Aluminium Oxide: A long-lasting, high-cutting medium suited for tough cleaning, paint removal, and surface texturing.
- Ceramic and Plastic Media: Gentle yet effective options for delicate parts or finishing non-metallic surfaces such as composites and plastics.
- Natural Grits: Including garnet and crushed glass — sustainable alternatives that deliver consistent results while reducing dust generation.
Each medium is available in the right grade for your machinery and desired finish, ensuring your process is both efficient and repeatable.
