Waterjet Garnet

Advantages of Waterjet Garnet

• Sharper Edges – Due to our garnet sand crushed from almandine rock, it acts more like sharp cutting tools and can cut faster and more efficiently than alluvial garnet.
• Faster Cutting – Crushed and selected from the hard rock so that waterjet grade garnet produces harder and sharper edges than other waterjet abrasives. These characteristics enable our garnet more like a hard and sharp cutting tool to finish a faster cutting.
• Better Edge quality – According to the cutting material and edge quality requirement, there are various special and proper waterjet grades recommended that enable a better edge quality.
• Less Dusty –  garnet has high garnet purity and shallow dust. That makes the whole cutting course more smoothly.

Six Step Waterjet Garnet Processing
All of our waterjet abrasives are processed to the highest level, with inline quality control. Our four-step process ensures high purity, high quality, and maximum productivity and performance from your waterjet.

Choosing the Proper Mesh or Grade for Waterjet Garnet

Sicheng offers various grades to match any focusing tube and orifice for any given cutting applications. Choosing the proper mesh, or grade, for the operation is very imperative. Different mesh sizes of garnet are designed to pass through different sized nozzles, and choosing the wrong grade could completely stop a waterjet operation. If the garnet grade is too large or coarse, the granules can jam inside a tube and cause a blockage. Too fine an abrasive tends to “clump” together inside the cutting head and again, have the potential to clog. Or it may inhibit the flow of garnet in the feed tube and not consistently enter the venture of water flow between the jewel and nozzle. If you are not sure which mesh or grade is proper, please contact us, and we would like to give you our professional suggestions.

A waterjet cutting machine also cuts hard materials, such as metal, stone, glass, or ceramics. For this, the water jet must be mixed with a cutting medium (abrasive) – for example, garnet sand. This procedure uses the abrasive jet as the separating device. The water jet serves to speed up the abrasive particles. Waterjet cutting with abrasive is comparable to microchipping.
