Applications

Waterjet technology is both simple and extremely complex. When water is pressurized up to 60,000 pounds (or more) per square inch (psi) and forced through a tiny opening, it can cut a variety of soft materials including food, paper and baby diapers, rubber and foam. When small amounts of abrasive particles, such as garnet, are mixed into the jet stream, the resulting "abrasive waterjet" can cut virtually any hard material such as metal, composites, stone and glass. UHP waterjets can also be harnessed to accomplish a variety of industrial surface preparation applications, including cleaning ship hulls and automotive painting equipment. Most recently, UHP has been adapted by Flow to achieve the benefits of pasteurization without the undesirable effects of heat. Not only are some spoilage microorganisms destroyed, UHP can also destroy harmful pathogens such as E. coli bacteria and listeria.
