Eden Products Ltd is the leading UK provider of Walnut Shell Granules to be used on a selection of Shot Blast Equipment.

Walnuts are pre-ground, cleaned, and the membrane and fat are removed from the shell 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 various sizes (coarse, Medium and fine) for the use in a number of applications.

Direct injected vehicles have one significant downside over port-injected engines, which is that carbon deposits can build up over time, requiring them to be eliminated at frequent intervals throughout the lifespan of the engine. The best and common process to do this is the use of Walnut Shells in a procedure usually known as Walnut Blasting. Walnut blasting is when crushed and graded walnut shells are blown into the car’s engine (intake valve) using an air compressor. It works similar to a sand blaster removing the carbon deposits in the surface being blasted. Walnut blasting is recognised by most mechanics as among the safest and most successful ways of removing carbon deposits from your car’s intake manifold and intake valves. Nearly all direct-injected engines will require this de-carbonisation approach accomplished at frequent intervals throughout the lifespan of the car’s engine.
