> > Three Commonly Used Consumables For Waterjets



         Water jet is a large-scale equipment in the cutting field, which has many advantages. However, due to the high pressure and friction during the cutting process, there are also some consumables in use. So besides waterjet sand garnet, what other common consumables are there for waterjet? What about their service life and price?
         In fact, compared with other large-scale equipment, the waterjet has not many consumables, only gem nozzles, waterjet sand (garnet sand), and sand supply pipes (that is, waterjet sand pipes).
         The service life of the jewel nozzle is related to the use of the water jet. If the high pressure is used for cutting for a long time or the water jet is not well maintained, the service life will definitely be shortened. Normally, the life of the jewel nozzle Around 30-40 hours, good ones will be longer. As for the price, there are also differences due to the different quality.
         Waterjet sand garnet is a more consumable material. Under normal circumstances, the consumption of garnet is about 15 kg per hour. At present, the domestic waterjet recycling technology is still immature, and the cost of recycling is relatively high, so the recycling is also used for other purposes. As for the different price levels, they are also different, ranging from more than 500 to more than 1,000.
         Then there is the waterjet sand tube. Its lifespan is generally about 150-200 hours, and the price is different. Imported ones are more expensive, domestic ones are cheaper, generally around 700. In fact, its life span is greatly affected by waterjet sand. The advantage of sand is that because it contains large particles and dust, it will block the sand during use, which not only affects the cutting efficiency, but if it is not cleaned out, the entire sand pipe may be scrapped.
