What Steel shot suppliers does

Shot Blaster is a privately-held Indian manufacturer and global exporter of steel shot and abrasive blasting media, headquartered in Jodhpur, Rajasthan. The company's core offering is a comprehensive portfolio of metallic abrasives spanning more than 25 SKUs: steel shots in grades S70 through S1110 (0.18mm to 2.4mm+), cast steel shot, stainless steel shot, high/medium/low carbon steel shots, cut wire shots in zinc and aluminum variants, chilled iron grit, glass beads, plastic grit, and white aluminum oxide. Manufacturing is based on atomization of molten steel scrap, with proprietary bainite microstructure cast steel shot technology that meets ISO hardness parameters as-cast (eliminating secondary tempering) and supports up to 3,600 recycling cycles. The company also sells complementary capital equipment, including abrasive blasting machines (₹4-80 lakhs/unit) and dust collectors (₹60K-20 lakhs/unit).

The business model is direct-to-customer hardware sales via the company's website (steelshots.co), phone, and email, with publicly disclosed per-kilogram pricing (₹40-500/kg depending on product and grade) and per-unit equipment pricing. Shot Blaster positions itself as among the largest Indian steel shot manufacturers and exporters, with global shipping via sea, air, and land transport and a published blog supporting inbound demand. The customer base spans five verticals: automotive (primary, including surface preparation, cleaning, and peening), construction, aerospace, foundry, and marine. The company is founder/owner-operated with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or certification portfolio in the available source material, and no revenue, headcount, or financial disclosures are publicly available.
