An important benefit of the water jet cutter is the ability to cut material without interfering with the material’s inherent structure as there is no “heat-affected zone” or HAZ.
Waterjet is considered a “green” technology, so you can also feel good that it’s environmentally friendly. Waterjets produce no hazardous waste, reducing waste disposal costs as well. They can cut off large pieces of reusable scrap material that might have been lost using traditional cutting methods, reducing costs overall. Parts can be closely nested to maximise material use, and the waterjet saves material by creating very little kerf.
Waterjets use very little water (from 2 litres to approximately 4 litres per minute depending on cutting head orifice size), and the water that is used can be recycled using a closed-looped system. Waste water usually is clean enough to filter and dispose of down a drain. The garnet abrasive is a non-toxic natural substance that can be recycled for repeated use. Garnet usually can be disposed of in a landfill.
Waterjets also eliminate airborne dust particles, smoke, fumes, and contaminants from cutting materials such as asbestos and fibreglass. This greatly improves the work environment and reduces problems arising from operator exposure.

We can not only use wetjet cutting to cut through glass, but it is also used in a range of industries. The cutter can be used for rubber, foam, plastics, composites, stone, tile, metals, food, paper and much more.
If you would like to discuss our waterjet technology in depth to see how we can customise glass cutting for your needs, then feel free to give us a call. We can create customised glass for doors, windows, showers, furnishings, cabinetry, splashbacks and more!
