An increasing assortment of our products are available to purchase on-line through
our sister company Horsemat Ltd using their web-shop and card payment system.
During February and March 2011, we installed our new Flow Mach 2 Water Jet cutting
machine at Bulmer. Working from a ‘regeneration’ site our buildings date back to
the early 1800’s - so not really made for high-tech equipment!
However - with a new high-strength floor, new roof, insulation and new electrics,
a further unit was soon ready and now houses a machine that has become a significant
tool in both the production of gaskets and seals - and the conversion of our heavy
duty matting products.
We produce CAD files for all parts cut on the water-jet - either from drawings or
samples - this information is then run through a nesting program to ensure minimum
wastage of material - and optimum cutting speed.
We’re also happy to help you
Water Jet Cutting
Materials - here are some of the materials we are able to cut
This machine uses either pure water - or a garnet abrasive stream to cut at 60,000
psi - the speed of water at the nozzle is a staggering 3500 miles per hour (4.½ x
the speed of sound!).
A wide range of materials can be cut with metals up to 200mm and softer materials
such as foams up to 250mm and with a 2m x 3m bed, most materials can be accomodated.
