Waterjet Garnet

GMA Garnet is one of the world’s most efficient waterjet abrasives in terms of cutting speed, abrasive consumption and uninterupted cutting. GMA garnet grains are amongst the hardest and toughest minerals known today, weathered and eroded over thousands of years.

The geological formation of the Western Australian Port Gregory deposit has resulted in a unique concentration of extremely durable grains which deliver outstanding performance in waterjet cutting applications.

GMA waterjet garnet is passed through extensive processing to ensure the highest purity garnet and highly accurate sizing of grains. Careful screening ensures there is no dust or ineffective garnet grains and no oversize particles to block focussing tubes. A steady flow of garnet to the focussing tube with no blockages allows uninterrupted production, resulting in optimum efficiency and lowest production costs

Stringent quality control at every stage of processing ensures the consistent high standard of waterjet abrasive that you would expect from the world’s leading supplier of waterjet abrasive.

GMA Garnet consists of totally natural Almandite garnet known for its superior hardness and abrasive ability. GMA Garnet is free of any heavy metals or toxic compounds and meets all Occupational Health and Safety regulations. GMA Garnet provides a perfect balance of grain shape (sub angular) size and density.

GMA Garnet is extensively used in all renowned waterjet cutting machines the world over. Key benefits reported by GMA Waterjet users include:

• Production without downtime
• Greater productivity
• Greater efficiency
• Direct cost savings

GMA Waterjet Garnet Optimum Setup

GMA Garnet offers a choice of grade to match any focusing tube and orifice for any given cutting application. GMA Garnet 80 WJ, the most popular waterjet abrasive grade used worldwide, delivers the optimum balance of cutting speed and precision edge. Where a high precision and minimum tolerance edge is required, we recommend GMA 120 WJ.

Please refer to the table below for the correct combinations of GMA Garnet grades, focusing tube and orifice dimensions to suit your particular waterjet cutting requirements.
