Water jet cutting technology and garnet sand have become mature after years of development. Water jet cutting has been widely used in various fields. Water jet cutting and garnet are complementary. The water knife used previously has limited application fields because of its low cutting force. Garnet sand can cut hard things such as steel and stone with great force, which also makes the water jet cutter more widely used.
Garnet sand can improve the cutting force: when cutting hard objects, the water knife cannot cut without the garnet sand abrasive. In order to generate a strong cutting force, the garnet sand abrasive must be added to the water knife sand tube. The garnet sand is pressurized by the water knife and then sprayed out through the nozzle's extremely thin nozzle, which has a very strong cutting ability and can easily cut hard objects.
The water knife cutting requires high purity of garnet sand. Some abrasives with high dust content will be plugged when cutting, which will greatly shorten the life of the sand pipe and cause cost losses to customers. Garnet sand has high hardness, Mohs hardness 7.5-8 and low dust content, which can meet the cutting needs of all walks of life. It is widely used for materials, and will not cause harm to workers and the environment.
