What kind of materials can win-win waterjet cut ?

Win-Win Metal Cutting waterjet Systems

Waterjet tables can be used to cut thicker metals than can be processed with a laser – like titanium and aluminum

 (up to 12”/305mm)– and offer greater precision than plasma cutting. Abrasive waterjet systems are also less expensive

 than laser solutions, making them a solid choice for metal and steel cutting in the fabrication industry.

Waterjet Cutting for Stone & Tile

Waterjet machines using the Win-Win Waterjet pumps are perfect for creating corporate logos in decorative 

designs on walls or inlaid into floors, countertop parts, faucet and sinkholes as well as a smoother radius off 

sharp edges of slabs cut with saws.

Ideal for Job Shop owners, stone cutting, marble cutting, granite cutting and Tile can all be fabricated by 

designers, for nontraditional “zero gap” cutting circular, square, oval, tile rugs, stone rugs, borders, murals, 

entry ways, kitchens, bathrooms, octagon patterns, medallion designs, border and accent tiles, polished, 

unpolished and textured porcelain.

Waterjet Cutting Food

water jets have been used as a manufacturing process to cut variety types of food cutting, 

including pizza, cakes, romaine lettuce, celery, meats, frozen fish, bacon, sandwiches, pettit fours, 

candy bars, granola bars and all types of frozen food. Pure water cutting up to 90,000 PSI/6,200 bar

 offers the greatest added value by cutting produce, meats, bakery, and confection products in a 

sanitary environment without the cross contamination found in blade cutting systems.

Win-Win Waterjet cutting Composite 

Because composites are not homogenous materials and are reinforced for greater strength, cutting 

composites requires a different approach than ceramic cutting or metal cutting, for example. Using 

conventional cutters and machining techniques will quickly cause parts to wear out and require 

replacement. Employing the techniques often used for cutting granite or titanium may also compromise 

the strength of the composite and/or cause delamination, making the material less suitable for use in 

applications such as aircrafts and medical devices.

Win-Win waterjet Cutting Glass 

Abrasive waterjet cutting technology is a great method for cutting glass because it allows for contours

 and shapes that cannot be achieved with other cutting machines at a reasonable cost. From artistic

 tabletop inlays to detailed stained glass designs, mirrors, glass ornaments, replacement windows for

 antique cars, and more, there’s almost no glass cutting application* that a waterjet cutting machine 

from win-win Waterjet can’t tackle.  *(Not suitable for the processing of tempered or hot glass)

Glass has a tendency to crack, so it is very important that the initial holes are produced with a reduced

 pressure of 7,200 PSI/500 bar to 11,600 PSI/800 bar. Subsequently, the pressure must be increased to a

 cutting speed that is cost-effective. For glass, ceramics and other brittle materials, you must gradually

 increase and reduce the cutting pressure by means of proportional pressure control of the intensifier 

pump, otherwise the material would be destroyed.

Plastic and Acrylic Cutting with Waterjet

Water jet cutting technology has been used for several decades to perform plastic and acrylic cutting. 

In fact, this process supersedes the development of the abrasive waterjet used to cut harder materials 

such as stone, glass, and metals. Unlike abrasive waterjet cutting, however, only pure waterjet is used

 to cut plastics and acrylics.

The clean, very thin waterjet stream (thinner than a strand of human hair) does not cause the material 

being cut to absorb water, maintaining the integrity of the materials. The technology also does not create 

heat-affected zones while precisely cutting with speed. Waterjet leaves a smooth, clean cut, virtually 

eliminating and second operation for finishing.  Thus, the efficiency of the process makes cutting with 

water jets an effective solution for manufacturers of plastic and acrylic components and parts.

Paper Cutting & Slitting with Waterjet

Water jet cutting technology has been used for several decades to perform paper cutting. In fact, this

 process supersedes the development of the abrasive waterjet used to cut harder materials such as stone, 

glass, and metals. Unlike abrasive waterjet cutting, however, only pure waterjet is used to cut paper and foods. 

The clean, very thin waterjet stream (thinner than a strand of human hair) does not cause the material being 

cut to absorb water, maintaining the integrity of the paper. The technology also does not create heat-affected 

zones while precisely cutting with speed. Thus, the efficiency of the process makes cutting with water jets an 

effective solution for paper manufacturers.

Waterjet cutting with pure water is the ideal solution for the cutting and slitting of paper and plastic webs

 as well as cardboard panels. The technology is already widely used in the production of wallpaper and 

packaging material.

The most common machine used in this field is called a slitter, which is a longitudinal cutting machine 

equipped with one or more pure water cutting heads. The material to be cut is transferred on a conveyor 

and is cut by the cutting heads located above the belt. In contrast to cutting with roller blades, the material

 is not shifted and there is no dust produced in the process. As the material is in contact with the waterjet 

for only a split second, its quality is not affected. The method is also suitable for the cutting of several layers

 of material. In this case, the operator must ensure that there are no cavities between the layers where water 

could collect. 

HVAC Insulation Cutting with Win-Win Waterjet

Win-Win Waterjet cutting will help to eliminate the duct liner bottleneck in your shop while reducing the labor 

associated with this process. Using conventional cutters and machining techniques will quickly cause parts to 

wear out and require replacement. Employing the techniques often used for cutting HVAC duct work liners may 

also compromise the strength of the insulation and/or cause delamination, making the material less suitable.

As an alternative, cutting with a water jet offers a number of benefits for HVAC rollforming machining. Win-Win 

water jet intensifier pumps do not produce heat-affected zones (HAZ) or leave rough edges/burrs that require the 

material to undergo secondary finishing with other cutting applications. Additionally, very little waste is created 

with water jet technology to protect the material investment, and the speed of the technology makes it well suited

 to high production requirements.
