Water Jetting Systems for Rock Cutting and Excavation | Precise, Efficient, and Eco-Friendly Solutions
Water jetting systems for rock cutting and excavation utilize high-pressure water streams (up to 2800 bar) to cut, fracture, and excavate rock materials. These systems provide an effective, non-abrasive, and eco-friendly solution for challenging excavation and mining tasks, including rock cutting, trenching, and material removal. Water jetting technology is used in various industries such as mining, construction, tunneling, and geotechnical drilling.
By applying high-pressure water, our water jetting systems break down and fracture rock formations while reducing vibration, noise, and environmental impact compared to traditional excavation methods like drilling, blasting, or mechanical cutting.
How Water Jetting Systems Work for Rock Cutting and Excavation
Water jetting systems for rock cutting use high-pressure water to fracture and cut through hard rock. The key components of the system include:
How It Works
High-Pressure Pump: Delivers water at the required pressure (typically 500 bar to 2800 bar) for effective cutting and excavation
Nozzles: Rotary or fixed nozzles direct the high-pressure water to fracture and cut rock, creating precise and controlled excavation
Flexible Lances & Hoses: Reach deep into rock formations, tunnels, and confined spaces to ensure thorough cutting
Control System: Adjusts water pressure and flow rate to optimize performance based on rock hardness and excavation requirements
Water Recovery System (Optional): Collects used water for filtration and recycling, reducing waste and ensuring compliance with environmental standards
