On large commercial truck transmissions, there are machined surfaces on power take-off housings and side covers. When cleaning these housings, if they are blasted with steel shot, these surfaces need to be re-machined, or a thicker gasket must be used to assure proper meshing of the gears. Blasting with NU-SOFT Shot enables these parts to be re-used without this re-machining step.
- Industry/Application: Heavy commercial trucks
- Challenge: Shot blasting damaged machined surfaces requiring gasket work or machining
