Application of WMT Waterjet in the Food Industry

Traditional meat cutting methods may damage the meat fibers, affecting texture, and generate heat during cutting, which can raise the surface temperature of the meat and promote bacterial growth. Waterjet cutting can avoid these issues. Additionally, waterjet cutting can perform complex pattern cuts, making it well-suited for applications in pastry processing.

The Main Advantages

High Cutting Precision

Water jet cutting typically achieves a precision of ±0.1 mm, allowing it to accurately cut the desired shapes and dimensions. This reduces the need for subsequent machining processes, thereby improving production efficiency and product quality.

Wide Range of Materials

Water jet cutting can handle almost all types of materials, making it highly versatile across various industries and capable of meeting the processing needs of different materials.

No Thermal Deformation

Water jet cutting is a cold cutting process that generates no heat during operation. As a result, it eliminates the risk of thermal deformation and heat-affected zones in the material being cut.

Environmentally Friendly and Pollution-Free

The primary medium used in water jet cutting is water. The process does not produce harmful gases, dust, or noise, making it an environmentally friendly option.

High-Quality Cutting Surface

The cut surface produced by water jet cutting is smooth and flat, free from burrs and cracks. This means that most parts can be used directly without the need for additional grinding, thereby reducing processing time and costs.

Ability to Cut Complex Shapes

With the aid of a CNC (Computer Numerical Control) system, water jet cutting can precisely control the cutting path. This enables it to easily achieve the cutting of complex shapes, curves, and patterns.

Application Scenarios

Application in the Vegetable Cutting Industry

WMT waterjet independently developed vegetable cutting machines with multi-head pure waterjet cutting, ensuring cleanliness and no pollution while keeping vegetables fresh and unspoiled.

Applications in Meat and Frozen Food Cutting

No heat is generated during the cutting process, reducing bacterial growth; preserves the food’s texture and nutrients.

Application in Cake Cutting

Pure water cutting is pollution-free, preserving the cake’s complete appearance and texture; suitable for cutting cream cakes, mousse cakes, cheesecake, and more.

Application in Seafood Cutting

Pure water cutting reduces the risk of bacterial cross-contamination; avoids high temperatures that cause seafood protein denaturation.

Application in the Cutting and Processing of Fruit Varieties

Maintains the fruit’s natural taste, moisture, and nutrients; supports cutting of various fruits with complex shape designs; more hygienic.

Industry Advantages

WAMIT pioneered the direct-drive pump era for water jet cutting in China. In 2014, the first generation of WAMIT servo direct-drive pump was introduced, significantly reducing the operating costs of water jet cutting. This first-generation pump uses a 15 kW servo motor for direct drive, which saves up to 60% of electricity per hour compared to the traditional 37 kW asynchronous motor. Additionally, the direct-drive mechanism eliminates the need for hydraulic and cooling systems. This not only reduces the initial equipment investment costs but also solves issues related to hydraulic system leakage and maintenance.

In 2024, WAMIT launched the second-generation direct-drive pump, which represents a comprehensive upgrade from the original technology. The number of components has doubled, and the processing efficiency has increased by 80%. The pump is equipped with an intelligent control system that allows users to monitor the equipment's operation in real time via a mobile app. It also enables precise calculation of operating costs and remote assistance, allowing us to identify and resolve issues for customers promptly.

FAQ

Does the cutting head require daily maintenance?

No, daily maintenance is not required, but it is recommended to perform a simple cleaning after each use and periodically inspect wear and tear on consumable parts such as the nozzle.

What should be noted when operating the cutting head?

Mainly ensure the cutting height is appropriate—neither too far nor too close to the material—to guarantee optimal cutting results and extend nozzle lifespan.

Is it safe to operate a waterjet machine?

Yes, our machines include multiple safety features such as emergency stop buttons, enclosed covers (optional), and pressure relief systems. Operator training is also provided.
