KMT Aqualine Water Only NC Cutting head
NORMALLY OPEN VALVE (NO)
  • Normally Open Valve design: Stays open without applied pressure.
  • Requires air pressure for closure.
  • Loss of air pressure triggers automatic opening of the valve.
  • Automatically releases any stored water pressure for safety purposes.

THE ADVANTAGESS OF THE NORMALLY CLOSED VALVE (NC)
  • Normally Closed Valve design: Remains closed without applied pressure.
  • Requires air pressure to initiate opening.
  • Holds water pressure within the system if air pressure is lost.
  • Ensures containment of water pressure for safety in the absence of air pressure.

SINGLE HEAD CONVEYOR CUTTING

Around the world, fish processing manufacturers utilize a conveyor system staged with multiple AQUALINE cutting heads for pin boning and portion sizing.

A higher processing accuracy minimizes waste and at the same time increases the raw material yield to higher quality products.

MULTIPLE CUTTING HEADS

Conveyor cutting with multiple cutting heads increases productivity and capacity to waterjet more products for maximum yield and portion control.

Additionally, the biggest advantage of waterjet cutting is the time savings using pure water as a food-cutting solution. No knife blades are used, so there is no downtime changing out or sharpening dull blades.
