3-Axis + Systems for High-Volume, Small Envelope Parts

Our high-accuracy singulation solutions are suitable for demanding 24/7 production environments.

Unique advantages include: high-productivity, superior omni-directional cut edge quality, drill and cut capabilities, heat and smoke free, no smearing, no delamination, no chipping.

Stripping Solutions for Coating Removal or Surface Texturing

We have significant process know-how on waterjet stripping and waterjet surface texturing. Our team has proudly developed automated solutions used in production or MRO environments.

Primary benefits for this process include:

  • High cost efficiency

  • No damage to the part

  • Eco-friendly (water, no chemicals)

  • Fully enclosed work area

When it comes to stripping of surface texturing, we have the solution that you need.

Slitters & Cross Cutters

Waterjet slitting systems are the fastest, most efficient way to cut paper products.

  • Cut dust free, significantly improving work conditions, safety and product quality

  • Eliminate rewinding – a slitter can be installed directly on the machine and the edge meets all requirements for converting operations

  • Higher cutting speeds

  • Redundant nozzles double the slitting time between "knife" changes

  • Fast and easy positioning – manual or automatic

  • Strong and clean cut edges. No blade to dull.

Food Processing – Slitting & Portioning

Our ultrahigh-pressure technology offers practical solutions to many common food industry problems associated with traditional cutting methods. Product waste, production bottlenecks caused by equipment limitations and manual processing, downtime for blade maintenance, bacteria transfer and cross-contamination are reduced or eliminated.

Processors of fruit, vegetables, confectionaries, and meat products are all currently using Flow's waterjet "clean blade" waterjet separation technology to produce healthy, pathogen-free food products.

High Pressure Deburring

Waterjet technology removes breakable burrs after screw-cutting, lapping, drilling, grinding operations without alteration of material characteristics (no heat affected zone), part dimensions and geometry. It also preserves straight angles and surface quality. Our deburring solutions prepare to high cleanliness levels, including inside parts that are difficult to reach. This unique process runs on any metal, from soft aluminum to hardest titanium.

Examples of parts using our waterjet deburring process include: diesel injection parts, hydraulic circuits parts, steering systems parts and more.

We have developed safe and high performance solutions to meet multiple geometry needs in mass production environments.

AquaTill-No_till-Farming.jpg

AquaTill No-Till Farming

AquaTill is the latest development in conservation agriculture. Using ultrahigh-pressure tools as a 'liquid coulter' in sustainable farming systems eliminates the need to use metal coulter on a disc seeding unit. 

No-till farming with ultrahigh-pressure waterjet technology is the future of plant technology for conservation agriculture. AquaTill allows for minimum soil disturbance, permanent soil cover (crop residue or live mulch), as well as crop rotation or intercropping.

With AquaTill you get a solution that:

  • Is the ultimate in crop residue management

  • Opens the seeding window

  • Is superior in fertilizer placement
