Ceramic beads

Ceramic beads blasting media

Keramikperlen Strahlmittel

Fields of application 

  • on all metallic surfaces
  • cleaning, for example removal of tarnish or scale 
  • finishing, optical effects, a uniform gloss level on the surface can be created 
  • compacting, shot peening, surfaces can be compacted in a targeted manner. Compaction improves the mechanical properties of the respective parts
Ceramic beads are a round blasting media based on zirconium oxide. They differ from glass beads in their long life time. For special applications we also offer ceramic beads in AMS quality. The round ceramic beads, like the glass beads, are an iron-free blasting media which can be used as a reusable blasting media. It is particularly suitable for use in compressed air blasting systems in injector or pressure blasting technology, but also for use in blasting turbine systems.
