Walnuts are pre-ground, cleaned, and the membrane and fat are removed from the shell prior to they go for further processing. They're 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 major downside over port-injected engines, which is that carbon deposits can build up after some time, requiring them to be eliminated at regular intervals through the lifespan of the engine. The most effective and common technique to do this is the utilisation of Walnut Shells in a approach commonly known 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 similar to a sand blaster removing the carbon deposits from the surface being blasted. Walnut blasting is recognised by most mechanics as one of the safest and most successful ways of eradicating carbon deposits from your vehicle’s intake manifold and intake valves. Almost all direct-injected engines will require this de-carbonisation process completed at regular intervals during the lifespan of the car’s engine.

Walnut Shells can also be used as a burnout media in the ceramics and catalysts industry. During the manufacturing process of ceramics and catalysts, the binders and other organic products utilised must be burned out to ensure that the final product has the desired attributes. Walnut Shells are utilised as a burnout media because of their significant heat resistance, low ash content, and ability to launch gasses evenly through the burnout process.
