Waterjet Garnet Separator

Waterjet cutting systems can process nearly any material by propelling a mixture of water and abrasive garnet at pressures up to 60,000 psi. During operation, the wastewater collection tank accumulates spent garnet, Rhinoboard particulates, and residual stock material, which are ultimately discharged into municipal wastewater lines. This practice leads to frequent clogging and presents environmental and safety concerns related to abrasive waste disposal. To address these issues, our team is developing a filtration system designed to remove particulates larger than 70 micrometers, effectively separating garnet and debris from the wastewater stream before discharge.
