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.

Mechanics: Clean Engines and Transmission with Walnut Shell Blasting

From grease and gunk, to oil and dirt, engines can get dirty very quickly. Over time, these contaminants can slow an engine down and decrease the performance of the vehicle. While it is relatively easy to clean up oil residue and debris on the surface, cleaning the inside of an engine requires considerable TLC. That is why mechanics who work on everything from passenger vehicles to big rigs rely on walnut shell blasting to get their motors running the way they want them to.

 

Within the engine there are a number of places where it’s necessary to clean up oil residue and other fluids that build up to block everything from intake valves and piston springs, to cylinders and cam shafts. Cleaning these parts quickly and efficiently without damaging them can be tricky because if they are damaged the engine won’t operate properly.

Walnut shell blasting provides the perfect solution to this concern as they are just the right hardness to remove gunk and grime without damaging the surface of the metal whether it is being sprayed on steel, titanium or alloy aluminum.  And, since walnut shells come in a wide variety of grit sizes it is easy to increase or decrease the size of the grit depending on which parts you are cleaning.

Finally, environmental concerns are another significant reason that repair shops are increasing their use of walnut shell blasting mediums as opposed to chemical cleaning solutions. With walnut shells, there are no toxic messes to contain or dispose of. This makes using walnuts less costly to a shop’s operations and allows the shop to advertise the eco-friendly benefits of using their services. This is an important consideration as an increasing number of American consumers are seeking solutions to their transportation needs that don’t harm the environment.
