KMT Waterjet cutting paper and packaging materials
Water jet cutting paper is the fastest and cleanest machine tool for slitting paper, diapers, cutting packaging materials, by using CNC high-speed conveyor systems.
Cut Paper, water jet Slitting & Packaging Conveyor Cutting with Waterjet technology.
In 1971, the first waterjet machine was installed at Alton Boxboard, Illinois, marking over five decades of waterjet cutting history.
Pure “water only” is utilized for cutting paper products, preserving paper integrity as the ultra-thin water jet stream prevents moisture absorption.
Multiple waterjet cutting nozzles line up on a conveyor, efficiently cutting a range of paper and corrugated packaging materials.
This is the ideal solution for slitting paper, plastic webs, cardboard, boxes, foam, corrugated cardboard, panels, wallpaper, and packaging material by water jet slitting on CNC conveyor machines.
The one-dimensional water jet slitter with multiple cutting nozzles is set up on a straight-line conveyor-style table.
Unlike roller blades, water jet cutting prevents material shift and dust production.
The paper is in contact with the waterjet for only a split second, its quality is not affected.
Pure water jets are used to cut paper-based materials and honeycomb for the aerospace industry.
Waterjet cuts protective poly coating paper, corrugated cardboard, foam, paper sheets, industrial packing paper, excelsior cushioning, bags, Tyvek, waxed paper, and thin carpets.
KMT’s cutting heads with diamond orifice maximizes cutting life, with a stream as thin as a hair at 3,000 fps, preventing paper absorption.
WATERJET CUTTING ADVANTAGES:
- Omni-directional cutting. Minimal tolerances. No wasteful raw materials
- Precision cutting with no blade sharpening
- No Hazardous Fumes or Vapors
- Safe for the Environment; no airborne dust and cleaner for paper products
- Stationary cutting nozzles allow conveyor-fed paper materials
WATERJET TECHNOLOGY BENEFITS
Reliable and Efficient Operation: Waterjet technology for continuous operation, by paper slitting with a pure water jet stream in demanding 24/7 applications.
Precise and Versatile Cutting: No more dull blade sharpening or downtime changing blades, waterjet cross-cutting will cut in any direction, on customer conveyors.
Material Integrity and Environmental Safety: Waterjet cutting preserves paper integrity, avoids waste, and ensures a safe, clean working environment without hazardous fumes.
Moisture Control and Edge Trimming: Waterjets minimize moisture absorption and can precisely trim the outside edge off paper without causing damage, ideal for stacking materials depending on product density.
