Food Cutting Using KMT Water jets
For decades, water jets have been used as a manufacturing process to cut variety types of food cutting, including pizza, 
cakes, meats, fish, candy bars, french fries and all types of frozen food. Pure water cutting up to 90,000psi offers the greatest added value by cutting products in a sanitary environment without the cross contamination found in blade cutting systems.
KMT Waterjet Systems UHP pumps and cutting heads assist food manufacturer's using water jet cutting to increase productivity, reduce product waste and improve the efficiency process of cutting food products.
KMT Waterjet Cutting demonstrates the cleanliness (USDA Approved), efficiency and speed of ultra-high pressure, pure water cutting of carrots and lettuce on a food grade conveyor produce cutting system.
According to Food Production Daily Magazine, “waterjet technology is one of the fastest growing major machine tool processes in the world due to its versatility and ease of operation.” The use of pure water in waterjet cutting systems capable of cutting at incredible speeds up to Mach 3, has received USDA approval for creating a bacteria free hygienic cutting process method.
KMT Waterjet Systems assists food manufacturers in several ways. KMT's UHP water jet pumps and cutting heads increase productivity, reduce product waste, and improve the efficiency process of cutting food products.

KMT Waterjet Detailed Information
The biggest advantage of water jetting is the time savings using pure water as a food cutting solution. Since no knife blades are ever used, there is no downtime changing out or sharpening dull blades.
A diamond orifice is used to maximize the waterjet cutting life, typically the size of the stream is a width of a human hair at speeds up to 3,000 feet per second. This small kerf width is so thin that food will not be compressed or washed out.
