"The conventional methods of forming and cutting, such as nibbling, routing, sawing, grinding, and the like, have become extremely time-consuming, difficult and expensive, with no one such method being solely capable of satisfactorily producing a finished production part by itself."The dynamic water Read More

Garnet is a hard mineral typically rated between 7.0 and 7.5 on the Mohs scale (where a diamond is 10 and talcum powder is 1). Also, well washed garnet abrasive does not produce a lot of dust when cutting like other processes might. Garnet is also relatively chemically inert and will not react with Read More

1. Observing the color, the main colors of garnet sand are pink, light red, and deep red, with the redder the better. You can also rub it with your hands to observe the degree of weathering of garnet sand. Generally, good garnet sand has high hardness and is not easy to pulverize.2. Take an equal am Read More

SEPPE garnet is our fast cleaning, general purpose abrasive for a wide variety of less challenging industrial blasting requirements. It offers exceptionally fast blasting performance for removal of light to medium coatings and/or rust. It outperforms other abrasives due to its hardness, low consumpt Read More

There is a relation between the cutting speed and the garnet mesh. Bigger mesh garnet abrasive can make the cutting process slightly faster. However, you will get a rough finish. The most commonly chosen option for waterjet cutting is 80 mesh SEPPE garnet abrasive. The garnet abrasive size does not Read More

All the abrasives we offer for blast cleaning are considered“silica free”, greatly reducing the health risk to operators.Our abrasives are also used for polishing, finishing, grinding, de-burring, peeninga Read More

SEPPE GARNET IS MOST COMMON ABRASIVE USED FOR WATER JET CUTTING Pure waterjets cut soft materials such as food, carpet, foam and rubber,but when you are cutting harder materials such as metal or stone, an abrasive must be added, and it's the abrasive that actually does the cutting. That is why abra Read More

Traditional cleaning processes may be banned in the near future because of the hazards they pose to the environment.As a nontraditional cold working technology, waterjet cutting has no heat effects, offers high flexibility, is environmentally friendly and is easy to operate. Water is one of the most Read More

Water is the most powerful weapon.We all agree on the power of water, but would rather focus on it as a cutting force rather than as a weapon.As the video says, water can become the sharpest of blades. It can cut bulletproof glass, metal and even fruit. Well, fruit doesn’t sound quite so impressive, Read More

Virtually every abrasive known to man — both natural and synthetic — has been considered for use in waterjet cutting. Almandine garnet has emerged as the mineral with the best characteristics for abrasive waterjet. Other minerals may be harder, heavier or lower in cost, but almandine garnet is the a Read More
