hogedrukwaterjet

Hogedrukwaterjet, often translated as high-pressure waterjetting, is a cleaning and cutting technology that utilizes a high-pressure stream of water to perform various tasks. The water is propelled at extremely high speeds, often exceeding the speed of sound, by a specialized pump. This force allows the water to erode, cut, or clean surfaces with remarkable precision and effectiveness.

The technology finds application in a wide range of industries. In construction and renovation, it is used for removing old paint, rust, concrete, or coatings from surfaces. It is also employed for cleaning building facades and historical monuments without causing damage. The industrial sector utilizes hogedrukwaterjet for cleaning heat exchangers, tanks, pipes, and other machinery, effectively removing stubborn residues and debris.

Beyond cleaning, high-pressure waterjets are also used for cutting. With the addition of abrasive materials to the water stream, it can cut through various materials, including metal, stone, glass, and composites. This abrasive waterjet cutting method offers a precise and heat-free alternative to traditional cutting tools. The technology is environmentally friendly as it primarily uses water, although some abrasive materials may be used in cutting applications. Safety is a critical aspect of hogedrukwaterjet operations, requiring trained personnel and appropriate protective gear due to the immense power of the water stream.
