Industrial Shot Blasting Systems

for Metal Surface Preparation

Remove rust, scale, coatings, and burrs faster with automated shot blasting equipment from LS Industries. Designed for consistent coverage, higher throughput, and reduced manual labor.

Industrial Shot Blasting for Faster Surface Preparation

Shot blasting uses high-velocity steel shot or abrasive media to remove rust, mill scale, paint, and surface contamination from metal parts.

Unlike water-based cleaning systems, shot blasting also creates a uniform surface profile, improving coating adhesion and finish durability.

LS Industries’ shot blasting systems are engineered for:

  • Engine blocks and castings

  • Fabricated steel parts

  • Weldments and structural components

  • Small production components and fasteners

  • Drums, cylinders, and industrial parts

If your operation still relies on grinding or manual blasting, automated shot blasting can dramatically improve production speed and consistency.

WHY MANUFACTURERS CHOOSE LS INDUSTRIES

  • LS Industries designs blasting systems around your parts, throughput, facility layout, and long-term production goals.

  • Blast wheel orientation, part movement, and media flow are engineered to deliver repeatable first-pass coverage.

  • Blasting is demanding. LS builds machines with reinforced structures, heavy liners, and durable wear components.

  • Load, blast, and unload cycles are designed for efficiency so operators can focus on higher-value tasks.

  • Airflow, dust control, and containment are engineered as part of the blasting system for cleaner operations.

  • LS Industries designs and builds equipment in the United States with decades of surface preparation experience.

SHOT BLASTING VS. MANUAL SURFACE PREPARATION

Manual grinding and sanding are slow production and create inconsistent results. Automated shot blasting systems provide:

  • Faster production throughput

  • Consistent surface preparation

  • Reduced labor requirements

  • Uniform blast coverage

  • Improved coating adhesion

For many manufacturers, shot blasting replaces hours of manual surface preparation with repeatable automated cycles.
