WALNUT SHELL

WHAT IS WALNUT SHELL?

Walnut Shell is a hard and durable material produced by crushing the shells of walnuts. It is a natural, biodegradable, and renewable product that is used in various industrial applications. Walnut shell has a hardness of 3.5 on the Mohs scale and a specific gravity of 1.2-1.4 g/cm³. It is available in various grades, types, and forms, and is widely used in the oil and gas drilling industry as a proppant and a drilling fluid additive.

Petro Naft provides Walnut Shell of the best quality in a variety of types and grades and exports them from Iran, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates to other nations worldwide.

WALNUT SHELL HISTORY

Walnut shell has been used for centuries in various applications, including cleaning, polishing, and filtration. The ancient Greeks and Romans used crushed walnut shells to polish their pottery, and Native Americans used it to clean their teeth. In the early 20th century, walnut shells were used as a filler in rubber products, such as tires and brake linings. Later, walnut shells were used as an abrasive in sandblasting and as a filtration media. In the 1970s, walnut shells were introduced as a proppant in hydraulic fracturing.

WALNUT SHELL OTHER NAMES

Walnut shell is also known as walnut granules, walnut grit, walnut abrasive, walnut blasting media, and walnut proppant.

WALNUT SHELL TYPES

Walnut shell is available in various grades, types, and forms. The most common grades are coarse, medium, and fine. The coarse grade is used for heavy-duty applications, such as sandblasting and rock tumbling. The medium grade is used for general-purpose applications, such as drilling, cleaning and polishing. The fine grade is used for delicate applications, such as cleaning and polishing jewelry. The most common forms of walnut shell are crushed, ground, and whole.

WALNUT SHELL PRODUCTION

Walnut shell is produced by crushing the shells of walnuts. The shells are cleaned, dried, and then crushed into various sizes using crushing machines. The size of the walnut shell can be adjusted by changing the screen size of the crushing machine. The walnut shell can be further processed by grinding or screening to produce different types of the product.

The crushing process produces a mix of different sized particles, which are then separated by screening. The larger particles are used as coarse grade walnut shell, while the smaller particles are used as fine grade walnut shell. The remaining particles are ground into a powder, which is used as a polishing agent.
