The high pressure water cutting and blasting techniques are getting more common in the perto-chemical industries. This method fits perfectly in the strategy of higher safety requirements and more stringent laws for the employment conditions. Where-ever traditional techniques are no more applicable because of fire- and explosion hazards this method is a safe solution.
Advantages of the hydro-cutting systems are:
fast and blank contact process
no dangerous sparks during the cutting procedure
no deformations and extreme temperatures in the cutting area
great cutting power (steel 40 mm, concrete 350 mm)
no remaining oxidation layer on the cutting edge
no release of toxic or dangerous gasses
no burrs on the cutting edge
no disturbance by coatings during the cutting
minimum loss of material
straight cutting lines
