Advancing its Profile!
Advanced Profiles, a large waterjet cutter with bells and whistles gives this Ontario fabricator an edge over competitors. 
Powering Paul & Dennis Zuccatos’ machine shop is the zippy KMT Waterjet cutting system. Paul points out that KMT supplied the intensifier, all high pressure lines from the intensifier to the high pressure fittings, cutting heads, mini feeders, and large garnet hopper.
Advanced Profiles has incorporated the KMT equipment with the gantry, cutting table and garnet removal system made by ESAB, welding consumables and equipment supplier.
“We purchased all the latest bells and whistles from KMT,” Paul insists. “That includes the Streamline SL-V 100R Plus (the system’s ultra high pressure pump) that allows us to cut just about anything.”
Canadian Area Manager for KMT Waterjet Systems, Pat Angiolillo, agrees that the pump is the heart of the waterjet system. “With such an important role to fill, the pump must be able to meet high usage demands and precision requirements,” he emphasizes.
