Using Walnut Shells for Jewelry Purposes

Walnut shell jewelry is just one of the many new and creative ways that walnut shells are being up-cycled for regular use. By slicing the shell into sections, it’s possible to create beautiful pieces that can be polished to a deep brown hue and then joined using copper, silver, or gold wire. The result is a marvelously eclectic piece of jewelry that is sure to be noticed and admired. Whether used to create a long necklace, a stunning pair of earrings, or a simple pendant, the results are sure to impress whoever is fortunate enough to wear walnut shell jewelry.

In Asian cultures, the use of walnuts carries with it considerable spiritual implications. It is believed that walnut shells are intertwined with the natural world and provide protection from spirits and harm. This is one reason that walnuts, and walnut shells, feature prominently within many designs. And, because no two walnut shells are identical, every piece of jewelry created will have its own unique appearance and color. This means that two people can stand right beside each other wearing walnut shell jewelry and still be wearing entirely unique pieces.

Of course, walnut shells can also be used in the production of other jewelry. With the right grit, it’s easy to polish newly produced pieces, or to remove rust and damage from older pieces such as watches, belt buckles, etc. that are being refurbished. The abrasive nature of the walnut shell can easily remove surface damage without damaging the underlying metal structure of the jewelry. Further, walnut shells are not so abrasive that you have to worry about them causing damage to gemstones such as diamonds or rubies.

How To Use Walnut Shells For Rust Removal?

Rust. There is no four letter word in the English language that brings with it such a level of concern or consternation. Not only is rust detrimental to the appearance of everything from vehicles to patio furniture, it can be hazardous to mechanical components such as engines, axles, and transmissions which can leak, freeze up, and fall apart as they rust out. Fortunately, removing rest is something that crushed walnut shells can help you accomplish in an eco-friendly and cost-efficient manner.

Crushed walnut shells are sufficiently hard enough
to remove rust from the surface of metal without
damaging the intact metal beneath.

Crushed walnut shells are sufficiently hard enough (MOH 3.5) to remove rust from the surface of metal without damaging the intact metal beneath. This makes it ideal for removing surface rust for painting or refinishing, as well as for preparing large holes for welding or other repairs.

To utilize in blasting, the walnut shells simply need to be added into the hopper of your abrasive blaster. There is no other special equipment or preparation required. Depending on the size of the material you are working on, you can easily adjust the grit size and the stream speed to suit your needs perfectly. Further, crushed walnut shells can be used within tumblers and other polishing devices to remove rust from nuts, bolts, screws, and other small and hard to handle objects.

Furthermore, because walnut shells do not absorb moisture, they can be used and reused many times before they need replaced. Their multi-faceted surface means they maintain effectiveness longer, and because they are non-toxic you don’t need any specialized operating equipment or clean-up procedures. For businesses seeking to “green up” their operations, crushed walnut shells provide a cost-effective and eco-friendly solution. As long as you remove the rust and other debris from within the grit pile, there will be absolutely no loss of effectiveness or eco-friendly benefits from the repeated use of the shells.

Flowspec has been providing clients around the world with the finest quality crushed walnut shells available. We invite you to contact us for more information about the products we offer and the shipping options we have available.

Having a litter box in the home is a convenient method for handling pet feces and urine without having to expose them to the risks of the outdoors. That said, not all litter boxes are equal to one another, not least because the choice of litter can have enormous impact on the results. In particular, if you are searching for litter to use with your litter box, consider getting walnut shell litter rather than what you are already using.

Consider these benefits of using walnut shell litter:

•First, Flowspec litter made using walnut shells is 100 percent natural, making it safe for use under a wider range of circumstances than litter made using more hazardous materials.

•Second, walnut shell litter has been ground to produce a uniform size, thus ensuring that dust cannot enter the air of the living environment. This is of critical importance for the continuing health of both the pet and the homeowner.

•Furthermore, Flowspec litter does not absorb the moisture that can be found in pet feces and urine, thus further reducing the chance of contamination via stated sources. It helps that the natural characteristics of walnut shells also serve to minimize the number of bacteria and other potentially harmful microorganisms.

•Walnut shell litter is practical to use for a number of animal species. For example, it is lighter than sand and a number of other materials that see common use in litter. Combined with its refusal to cling and clump to other materials, this makes it that much easier to clean out and then compost on a regular basis.

•At the same time, Flowspec litter is both gentle and loose, making it well-suited for creating a comfortable living environment for pets, particularly when said animals come from desert environments.

•Given these benefits, it should come as no surprise to learn that walnut shell litter is compatible with numerous animal species. Examples include but are not limited to cats, birds, snakes, lizards, and other reptiles.

Ways to Use Walnut Shell Polishing Media

Although it can come as a bit of a surprise to learn, walnut shells are a raw material that can be made into a number of useful and interesting products for use in a range of applications. One excellent example is something called walnut shell polishing media.

Like its name suggests, walnut shell polishing media consists of walnut shells that have been crushed into small pieces for the purpose of polishing. Walnut shell polishing media is useful in that it is both natural and non-toxic, while remaining both strong enough and tough enough to get the job done. In short, walnut shell polishing media is not only the environmentally friendly option, but also the practical option.

Of course, since not all pieces of crushed walnut shells are well-suited to the same tasks and the same materials, the walnut shell polishing media comes sorted into a number of sizes that run the gamut from coarse to fine and extra fine.

Here are some examples of how a polishing media made using crushed walnut shells can be put to good use:

•Items made of molded metal tend not to come out of their molds in perfect condition. For example, either the item has smaller bits of metal clinging to its surface or has rough surfaces that need to be smoothened out before it can be put to use. Crushed walnut shells are perfect for polishing such items into a usable state.

•That said, metal items tend to accrue signs of wear and tear over time, with examples ranging from scratches to pits. A second go with a polishing media made of crushed walnut shells is useful for removing such blemishes without damaging their finish.

•Finer grades of crushed walnut shells can be used to polish more delicate items such as glass lens and fine metals without wearing them away in the process. In fact, it can even be used to make coral, ivory, and other precious objects truly shine in the spotlight.

What is Walnut Shell Blasting Media?

For people unfamiliar with the concept, blasting refers to the practice of propelling material called media using pressure in the effort to shape a surface to the needs of the user. Examples include but are not limited to smoothening rough surfaces, roughening smooth surfaces, and even removing contaminants clinging to surfaces. As a method, blasting has much to recommend it, not least because it is both efficient and effective.

Of course, the blasting process needs to use the right media to produce the best results. Unfortunately, most of the media that see common use have problems that make them either unpleasant or even inimical to human health. For example, some are corrosive, while others can become serious irritants when breathed in.

This is where walnut shell blasting media comes in.

As its name suggests, walnut shell blasting media is made using crushed walnut shells. Its choice of raw material provides it with the abrasive surfaces needed to be useful in blasting, plus a number of other important benefits such as an angular shape, a multi-faceted surface, and outstanding toughness under pressure. However, in spite of these characteristics, walnut shell blasting media is both biodegradable and non-corrosive. More than enough to make it a softer, gentler and more eco-conscious substitute for more common media such as sand.

In short, if you have surfaces that are in need of a thorough cleaning, then walnut shell blasting media should be your medium of choice. Despite its softer and gentler nature, it is more than enough to scour paint, coatings, and contaminants from a range of surfaces such as glass, metal, stone, wood, and plastic. At the same time, that same softness and gentleness also make it suitable for use in more delicate tasks such as polishing careworn jewelry and removing flash clinging to parts fresh from the mold. Since the media comes in a number of sizes, you can simply choose the one that is best-suited to your needs.

How does a Walnut Shell Filter work
Walnut shell filter is one type of separation equipment which adopts filtration separation principle and oil resistance filtering media-walnut shells. It is mainly made up of filtering system, washing system and control system (one is automatic while the other is manual). When filtering, the water sewage flow is from up to down, passing through water distributor, filtering media bedding and water collector, and then one time of filtering finishes. When backwashing, the agitator turns over walnut shell filtering media, the water flow is from down to up, making the walnut shell filtering media be washed and regenerated thoroughly.
