Products
Advanced Material Solutions offers high value Sintered Metal Filters and Metal Injection Moulded products based on Advanced Manufacturing technologies as well as engineering, design and development services and system integration.
Metal Injection Moulding (MIM) produces metal components in simple or complex shapes with little to no secondary operations, such as machining, tapping, grinding or deburring. The produced components are slightly lighter than machined components with virtually the same mechanical properties. Complex shapes can be produced much more rapidly and cost effectively than by machining of investment casting with as good or better tolerance control. MIM can be used to make finished components in a single, largely automated process which would otherwise require several machining, assembly and finishing steps.
Advanced Material Solutions can work as your partner in small to medium run MIM component manufacturing. We can use your existing mould or assist you with the design and fabtication of a new mould.
Advanced Material Solutions is the only company offering MIM components that are made in Australia. We produce feedstock and components from a variety of high value alloys to make high quality components.

Advanced Material Solutions offers our highest quality DuraSter and Viti-flow membranes in modules for customers who wish to retrofit their existing filtration system as well as for those looking to engineer their own filtration system.
DuraSter and Viti-flowmembranes are the smallest diameter metallic membranes in the world and the only hollow capillary membranes in the world. They are the first and only commercial-length (700mm or longer) metallic membranes in the world made from a single length of membrane. They also have the thinnest wall of any cylindrical metallic membrane in the world.
All of these world’s first and only membrane features, plus an asymmetric membrane structure with a high percentage of open area provide a membrane with all the benefits of an asymmetric plastic ceramic filter, including high flux, small filter footprint, small pumps, low power consumption and low shear and heat gain. They also provide a strength, durability and longevity far superior to either asymmetric or symmetric plastic or ceramic membranes with virtually no risk of membrane failure due to process extremes.

Steam filtration is generally a depth filtration process. As the name implies, the contaminants in the steam get deep into the structure of the sintered metal element, where it can be difficult or impossible to remove. In contrast the unique DuraSter Filter membrane is a true surface filter. A simple blow down through the inside of the membrane tubes clears the contamination off of the membrane surface, restoring filter performance.
The next-generation DuraSter Filters are made entirely of 316L stainless steel. There are no weak points, such as membrane welds or O-rings between the feed and filtered steam. You can be confident that the integrity and performance of a DuraSter Filter will satisfy your needs for many years to come.

The MIM process starts with metal powder and binders that are blended together. The resulting feedstock is liquefied and injected into a mould using a customized injection moulding press. The green part that comes out of the injection moulding machine is then chemically or thermally treated to remove the bulk of the binders, producing a “brown” part. Finally that part is sintered in a high temperature vacuum furnace to form the finished part.

A key component in engineering a crossflow microfiltration system to meet your needs is trials. If you are considering purchasing a DuraSter© or Viti-flow Filtration System or retrofitting your existing system, Advanced Material Solutions offers trial services, starting with benchtop trials of 20 litres in our Lonsdale facility.
Should the benchtop trial results indicate that one of our DuraSter© or Viti-flow Filtration Systems could provide a viable filtration solution for you, we would strongly suggest a one or multiple day site trial or an in-house trial using a larger volume of your product to get a better understanding of long term filtration performance and required cleaning regime.
All our trials are conducted for a reasonable fee in order to cover our costs.

At AMS we believe that the best testimonial to our filtration systems is the feedback we regularly receive from our customers:
“Trouble-free” “We forget that it is there” “It just runs”
In order to get these testimonials, we focus on system integration from the start.
We understand that every production facility is different. That is why we work together closely with our customers to provide a seamless connection between the filtration system and the upstream and downstream processes. Our filtration systems are highly flexible and so are we. We can provide a stand-alone filter or a system that is adapted to process conditions, responsive to and completely transparent to the rest of your plant automation, as well as uses common components to reduce spares.

However low-maintenance any system is, ongoing maintenance makes sense in order to assure maximum uptime, system longevity and performance.
At AMS we offer ongoing maintenance for all of our filtration systems. This includes an inspection of the few wear system wear parts and replacement as required, a review of system performance and addressing any issues raised by operations or engineering staff. It also includes remote access and onsite troubleshooting, if needed, and evaluation of any desired changes or additions to the filtration system’s feature set.
Ongoing maintenance is included with each filtration system during the normal warranty period and can be extended as desired.

Collaborations
Working together with leading universities to create the next generation of Advanced Material Solutions
Electrospinning and Smart Coatings
Working together with the Deakin and Victoria Universities, we are developing new and exciting membrane technology to extend and enhance our current membrane capabilities. Next-generation membranes are expected to be ready for commercialisation in the next three to five years.
These membranes may include features such as metallic micro-filtration combined with ion exchange, woven titanium membranes for nano-filtration, anti-microbial membranes and adsorbing membranes.
Carbon Footprint Reduction in Titanium Metallurgy
We are working together with the University of Queensland and the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology to develop high quality, economical Titanium powder with a smaller carbon footprint than current technologies have.
We are also working on adapting various Advanced Manufacturing Material technologies to utilise this powder to manufacture high quality Titanium components and filtration membrane.
Metallic Membrane Pore Size Reduction
In another project with the Victoria and Deakin Universities we are exploring ways to reduce our DuraSter membrane pore size. We are working towards a fully sintered metallic, hollow-fiber ultrafiltration membrane to complement our existing micro-filtration capillary membrane. This will allow us to make virus-barrier filters while maintaining the advantages, such as durability, ease of use, longevity, process, pH and product compatibility of our unique metallic membranes.
First commercial trials of virus-barrier membrane are expected in 2015.
Microwave Sintering (MWS) of Pressed and Injection Moulded Components
We are working together with the University of Queensland and the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology to develop an eco-friendly approach to the manufacture of high performance, low cost powder metallurgy components. This new technology involves using microwaves for the sintering of MIM and pressed powder components.
Safer Water Inititive
We are actively seeking partners in Government, NGO and other sectors to establish programs to both donate a lifetime of safer drinking water and establish micro-entrepreneurial ventures to cost-effectlvely and sustainably sell safer drinking water using filters made with our DuraSter membrane.
