Shot blasting for acidic electroplating

Q. Hi,
My raw material for electroplating is structural items like angle, channel, square, etc.
Currently I am using a degreasing chemical called as HR16-18 titration for 8 mins.
After that I move it to HCl(10-12 titration) pickling for 8 mins.
After that I dip the material to water tank to wash.
Then I put it into anodic bath for electro cleaning (100 g/1000 ml), 1.5 mins dip time
Then I put it into neutralizer made of HCl (8-10 titration) for 30 seconds.
Then I put it for electroplating.
Now I want to convert this process into shot blasting and after that directly put it into neutralizer made of HCl with 8-10 titration and then into plating tank.

Before making an investment I wanted to know how useful will it be for me considering the production and quality of parts.

Thank you in advance.
