Ultra High Pressure Waterjet Cutting Systems for

COMPOSITES, BUILDING MATERIALS

Ultra-high pressure (UHP) water-jet cutting offers dust free cutting, faster production, reduced maintenance and improved safety compared to saw blade cutters. Typical saw blades have kerf loss from 0.20” to 0.45” (5.08 mm to 11.43 mm).  Water-jet nozzles are typically running kerf loss of 0.003” to 0.015” (0.076 mm to 0.381 mm) – an 85%-95% saving on cutting loss. This is an immediate saving and increases your yield.

A typical diamond orifice lasts about 2,000 hours which is equivalent to 3 months of production (24/7) before the nozzle needs to be changed out.  No saw blades to sharpen.

Customers immediately notice the reduction in dirt and dust build up in the cutting area, which benefits the employees with a cleaner and healthier work environment.  No vacuum or dust bag maintenance is required and helps in the reduction of fire hazards.

Proven web production applications include:

Packing material, Fibre cement board, Roofing/Cladding materials, Plastic films, Carbon fibre, Ceiling tiles, Composites (multi-layered with fibre-glass, foam, and cloth), Liquid Packaging Board, Insulation (fibre glass and foam), FRP (fibre glass reinforced polymer), Wet end – fibre board, OSB (oriented strand board) and particle board, Rubber, Acoustic foams, Cellulose sponge and Non woven polypropylene.

Paprima has a dedicated pilot facility that can run test cuts as a trial to confirm speed and edge quality.
