Case Study

Shipyard saves 70% in abrasive consumption with shift to GMA ToughBlast™

 

A shipyard in New York harbor recently switched from using slag abrasives to GMA ToughBlast™ garnet. Results showed an impressive increase in efficiency from each blaster covering 1,200 ft2/110 m2 per night using slag abrasives to between 1,500/140 and 2,000 ft2/185 m2 per night using garnet abrasives.

The customer blasted two steel ocean barges with GMA ToughBlast™ and achieved a significant savings up to 70% in abrasive consumption. The reduced consumption rate also resulted in less downtime required to refill the blasting pots. Furthermore, the customer was able to take advantage of GMA Garnet™ Recovery Program to eliminate the freight costs required to dispose used slag abrasives. By using GMA Garnet™, lower dust emissions not only improved the operator's visbility but also enhanced workplace safety.
