Nitrating Process

Unlike many other makers, we use plasma Nitrating process which is more expensive than gas nitrating and creates much more uniform layer of Nitrate on the metal surface so that the surface properties stay the same across the shells. There is also a post oxidation process following to the nitrating, giving the surface the mat black color and making it more corrosion resistance.

Kita Deep Drawing Press Machine is developed, All the KitaPantam Shells are made using this machine, also shells are available for other makers to order (please visit Makers Shop Page)
