Too Lazy to Shovel Your Water Jet Tank? Let Our Garnet Removal Systems Do the Work for You.

Shoveling out an abrasive waterjet tank is no fun, especially during the stifling heat of August.

Today happens to be National Lazy Day, so if you're feeling too lazy to pick up a shovel, let Jet Edge do the work for you with our amazing waterjet abrasive removal systems.

We offer two types of abrasive removal systems to remove the garnet from your waterjet tank.  Our traditional Waterjet Abrasive Removal System uses a sweeper nozzle system to keep the tank clean. Our Waterjet Cyclone Abrasive Removal System, on the other hand, sucks the water and abrasive out of your tank and sends the water back into the tank and the spent garnet into a bag for disposal or recycling.

While we hope you have a Jet Edge water jet cutting system, our abrasive removal systems work with any waterjet manufacturer's system.

How to Prevent Water Jet Abrasive Clogs

Here are some steps water jet operators can take to prevent abrasive clogs and clogged nozzles:

1. Use quality water jet abrasive from a reputable supplier.

2. Don't let debris get into the abrasive hopper when you fill it.  Even a tiny piece of packaging debris can clog your tubing. If you do get such a clog, check the elbow on the bottom of your bulk abrasive hopper and also your mini hopper.

3. Keep your abrasive dry.

3. Use the right orifice/nozzle combination. In general, the nozzle should be 3X larger than the orifice.

4. Use the proper size orifice for the abrasive grit you are using.

5. Maintain a proper standoff from the work surface to prevent the water flow from being blocked.

6. Replace worn orifices to prevent water from backing up into the mixing chamber.

7. And, of course, be sure to read and understand your waterjet manufacturer's manuals and take advantage of their training opportunities.
