ABSS Recently had the pleasure of supplying and installing one of our Australian Made 4 Turbine Section Cleaners on behalf of our distributor and client in Qld. With supportive hands from all fronts the equipment was professionally installed, tested and commissioned. It was surprising to measure the through-put of such equipment processing longer steel sections, defiantly amazing results (50 Tons Per Shift). Also very impressive was how much quieter this equipment operates compared to that of traditional abrasive blasting rooms (Measured 87db). This style of abrasive blasting machine will take any business in the industry to the next level.

We had the pleasure of hosting Adam Schofield and Andrew Taplin of Heavy Minerals Limited at our AMPP Industrial Coating Applicator (ICA) training in Melbourne (Aug 12-16, 2024). Heavy is opening their new massive Port Gregory Garnet Project, in Western Australia. Meeting international standards and specifications is crucial for Heavy's Port Gregory Garnet project: - Standards such as those from AMPP (SSPC-AB 1, Mineral and Slag Abrasives), ISO11126-10 (Almandine Garnet) and NAVSEA MIL-PRF-22262C(SH) (Performance Specification - Abrasive Blasting Media, Ship Blast Cleaning). - The role that blast media plays in achieving surface cleanliness & roughness, and also nuisance dust generated during abrasive blasting. - The critical importance of minimising soluble salts to lessen the chance of premature coatings failure. ABSS has signed on as a founding distributor of 15,000 tpa of Heavy’s Garnet, approx. 10% of the total production from the Western Australian Port Gregory Garnet mine. Heavy has pegged more than 60 km's along the Western Australian coast, nearby Port Gregory, and has already identified two world-class deposits, the Port Gregory Garnet Mine and the Redhill Garnet Mine.

It’s a wrap – we’ve completed our first AMPP: Association for Materials Protection and Performance Industrial Coating Applicator (ICA) program 12-16 August 2024, in Tullamarine, Melbourne. To close out the week-long blast and spraying program, attendees were responsible for coating their panels they had previously prepped and dry abrasive blasted, which included applying a stripe coat, spraying under coat, applying a second stripe coat and finally spraying the top coat. Congrats to the students completing the program: - Melbourne Sandblasting & Spray: David Grosso - Central Vic Restorations: Kristopher Allan - Veolia: Matthew Pattinson and Tessa Lester; - Duratec: Jim Ragg and Graham Hudson; - Spray Blast Inspect: Daniel Calvisi and John Schmidt - Syntech: James Henderson - Heavy Minerals Limited: Adam Schofield and Andrew Taplin Special thanks to glenn tamone (for Graco support) and Campbell Osborne (for Elcometer support) for their participation and support in the final two days of the program. A huge thank you to Lead Instructor Kristopher Kemper for making the long trip from Oklahoma to support our efforts. Stay tuned for our next scheduled AMPP ICA event, which we expect will be held in Tullamarine Melbourne before the end of this year. Please contact ABSS at 1300 727 240 or info@ABSS.net.au to reserve your place.

We’re pleased to post our midweek photo’s from our first AMPP: Association for Materials Protection and Performance Industrial Coating Applicator (ICA) program, underway at our facility at 42 Lillee Crescent, Tullamarine, Vic 3043, Australia. Training of the large group of blasting and spraying students is well under way under the watchful eye of our lead instructor, Kristopher Kemper, and today was the capstone event of the abrasive blasting portion of the program: - Each student is responsible for using prepping their own panels (rounding off edges and eliminating any weld spatter and other defects); - Abrasive blasting their panel (using garnet) to a minimum of near white metal SSPC-SP 10 surface standard (SA2.5); and - Conducting their own QC – assessing the class of blast, anchor profile and residual salt contamination (Bresle – ISO 8502-6 and ISO 8502-9). The aim of the training is to promote proper blast-paint applicator knowledge & skills to avoid premature coatings failure. Poor or improper application is estimated to account for up to 70% of premature coatings failures. Special thanks to Phil Chester, Jon Oswald and Jason Ahern for participating and supporting the event regarding Bristle Blasting, RPB-GVS respirator PPE and Elcometer test instruments, and also Dean Wall for dropping in to support the event. Students will complete the week and receive an AMPP Certificate of Completion and Professional Development Hours (PDH) credits.
