Key Benefits

Some of the key benefits you can expect when using Amasteel are:

Lowest consumption

Highest productivity, lowest cost

Consistent abrasive performance

Reduced wear

Reduced dust and waste disposal

Local technical support

The Ervin technology for high carbon steel abrasives is the most advanced in the world. We manufacture to third party international SAE and ISO specifications in Tipton, UK, and Glaubitz, Germany.

This ensures AMASTEEL shot and grit is a consistently high quality martensitic abrasive. Continuous quality control, in combination with the cutting-edge production process, optimises durability and cleaning power.

Environmental impact reduction at forge

After-Sales Support

Steel abrasive is not a commodity. It is an essential component in a process that can be very costly if not maintained and supported on a regular basis.

Our trained technical support personnel are therefore at your disposal, at no additional cost. We can arrange to visit relevant plants as required on a regular basis to provide:

Advice on abrasive selection

A review of machine settings to ensure reduced wear and optimum abrasive consumption

Assessment of abrasive performance and work-mix configuration

Assessment of cleanliness and, if required, surface roughness on work-pieces

Advice on potential cost savings and productivity increases

“Anyone who pays attention only to the purchase price is making a big mistake. We are now working with the new Ervin blasting material significantly more economically.”

Michael Stipkovits

Purchasing Manager, Gföllner

“We’re delighted to have changed to using Ervin products because they have significantly reduced our costs in both in the blasting and coating processes. This helps us make CIE Automotive products more competitive in the automotive market.”

Mr Iker Bezares

Production Manager, CIE Automotive

“Preparation is especially important here. With Amagrit, quality and effectiveness are brought one step further forward.”

Christian Süß

Master Painter, Gföllner
