FUJI and Pio-Ship Visit Southeast Asian Shipyards

In November 2024, Pio-Ship (SGP) and Fuji Seito visited shipyards in the Philippines, Singapore and Indonesia to meet customers and demonstrate FUJI's abrasive solutions.

The visits provided an opportunity to discuss abrasive selection, steel grinding and cutting requirements in high-volume marine construction.

The original visit report recorded the observations above. It did not publish the comparator model, machine settings, sample size or repeatability data. These figures describe the reported demonstrations and are not a guaranteed improvement for other shipyards.

What Buyers Should Measure in a Follow-up Trial

  • Cleaner Cuts: Inspect burrs, cut accuracy and heat effects; include any required secondary finishing in the comparison.
  • Cost Savings: Record abrasive consumption, changeover time and time per accepted task rather than comparing wheel price alone.
  • Worker Friendly: Ask operators to assess control and comfort while using compatible tools under their permitted operating conditions.

Expanding Cooperation in Southeast Asia

Follow-up enquiries should identify the workpiece material, operation, grinder model and speed, wheel dimensions and expected consumption. Sample selection and any on-site support arrangements are confirmed with the FUJI and Pio-Ship teams.

Super F2 Grinding and Super Tsurugi Cutting Serve Different Tasks

Super F2 is an aluminium-oxide grinding wheel option for routine steel weld cleanup and stock removal. Super Tsurugi is a cut-off disc series for suitable steel cutting applications. Match the exact specification to the machine and material; a cutting disc must not be used for side grinding.
