Application of WMT Ultra-High Pressure Waterjet Cutting Machines in the Stone Industry

Posted by iwonder

WMT waterjet cutting technology has been widely applied in the stone and decorative materials industry due to its high precision, versatility, and ability to handle hard and brittle materials without cracking or chipping. The system is particularly well-suited for tile, marble, quartz stone, and sintered slabs, enabling manufacturers to achieve intricate designs and superior edge quality that traditional cutting methods often struggle to deliver.

Precision Chamfer Cutting for Sintered Slabs

WMT waterjet technology plays a crucial role in the 45-degree chamfer cutting of new material sintered slabs. Sintered stone is extremely hard and dense, making it difficult to process with conventional tools. Waterjet cutting, however, can achieve accurate chamfer angles while maintaining edge integrity and surface smoothness.

This ensures better joint fitting, cleaner seams, and a more refined overall appearance when sintered slabs are used for countertops, wall panels, or flooring applications. As a result, manufacturers can deliver higher-quality finished products with reduced rework and polishing requirements.

Energy-Saving Upgrade for a Leading Home Furnishing Manufacturer

A well-known domestic home furnishing company, primarily engaged in cutting quartz stone, marble countertops, and ceramic under-counter basins, has long relied on multiple hydraulic waterjet machines for its production operations.

In 2021, through one of WMT’s authorized distributors, the company upgraded part of its equipment by adopting WMT’s servo direct-drive intensifier pump waterjet system. This modernization aimed to improve cutting performance while reducing energy consumption and operating costs.
