Eden Products Ltd is the leading UK supplier of Walnut Shell Granules to be used on an array of Shot Blast Equipment.
Walnuts are pre-ground, cleaned, and the membrane and fat are removed from the shell just before they go for further processing. They are specifically ground on hammer and roller mills to get the proper size and surface of the granule. Walnut Shells are ground to numerous sizes (coarse, Medium and fine) for the use in a variety of applications.
Direct injected vehicles have one key drawback over port-injected engines, which is that carbon deposits can build up over time, requiring them to be eradicated at regular intervals throughout the lifespan of the engine. The best and common technique to do this is the utilisation of Walnut Shells in a procedure commonly referred to as Walnut Blasting. Walnut blasting is when crushed and graded walnut shells are blown into the vehicle’s engine (intake valve) using an air compressor. It works just like a sand blaster eradicating the carbon deposits in the surface being blasted. Walnut blasting is recognised by most mechanics as among the safest and most effective ways of removing carbon deposits from your car’s intake manifold and intake valves. Practically all direct-injected engines will require this de-carbonisation procedure accomplished at regular intervals during the lifespan of the vehicle’s engine.
