Ceramic Beads

Ceramic beads are a zirconia based blasting medium, which is produced in a melting process and then shaped into spherical beads and classified in various grain sizes. Ceramic beads are iron-free and extremely tough.

Applications:

Reusable abrasive
Polishing
Shot peening
Blast-cleaning

Blasting systems:

Pressure blast systems
Injection blast cabinets
Airless blast-cleaning equipment
