shot material and shot-shape -Straaltechniek International provides 5 types of shot: cast--steel-shot, glass-bead, ceramic - bead, cut-wire-steel-shot and stainless-steel-cut-wire-shot. The spherical shape of the shot has to be controlled and maintained (broken shot, hollow shot, shot with sharp edges and two particles connected to each are not allowed). Double spiral separators can be used in combination with sieves.
