Waterjet cutting improved speed and productivity
KMT ultra-high-pressure pump upgrades waterjet cutting system to improve speed and productivity.
This high performance cutter uses high pressure waterjet cutting and linear drive mechanisms to cut lengths of coving with high accuracy, which is better than +/- 1.5mm, and minimal waste.
The Cove Cutter can achieve line speeds of 85 metres/minute with coving lengths between 1200mm and 16000 mm.
For ECS, achieving these performance levels are the result of a combination of the company's own 25 year design experience in plasterboard cutting technology and the advantages achieved by the waterjet cutting process.
Waterjet cutting relies heavily upon the performance of the intensifiers and for Managing Director Adrian Anthony, KMT Waterjet Systems have always provided the best product: Over the years, ECS has specified KMT (and previously Ingersoll Rand equipment) for many of its specialist plasterboard cutting systems.
"We specify KMT because their intensifiers are of the highest quality, totally reliable and quiet in operation".
"The company provides good service back up and we are kept fully informed of product developments and enhancements," says Adrian.
For the Cove Cutter destined for Australia, ECS specified a KMT STREAMLINE 15hp pump.
This provides the required water pressure to achieve clean, accurate cuts with no noise, waste or dust.
For the customer, this means minimal material wastage and no need for post production trimming operating - resulting in large potential cost savings.
KMT Waterjet Systems' intensifiers are used in a wide a range of general engineering and specialist applications, for many different materials.
ECS recognises that KMT Waterjet Systems' products provide a level of performance for specialist plasterboard cutting machinery not obtainable from inferior, alternative suppliers' products.
