Waterjet Abrasive Management Systems

Continuous Level Monitoring for an efficient Production Process

Production reliability requires constant monitoring of the entire cutting process. An economical and successful cutting process depends greatly on a constant abrasive flow rate. This fact becomes even more important when cutting brittle materials such as stone, marble or glass.

Abrasive Flow Monitoring saves Time & Costs
Our ABRALINE feeding system precisely monitors the availability of sufficient abrasive closely during the entire cutting process. This protects your valuable material from damage and saves unnecessary costs and time. Its concept assures process stability, security and a very high degree of reliability.

Two tanks for a continuous abrasive flow
The ABRALINE transfer system consists of a big silo for the abrasive and a smaller 24-Liter tank which lies directly underneath. This vessel contains abrasive sand pressurized by compressed air. The connected flexible hose guides the abrasive directly to the abrasive metering system of each cutting head. Additionally, the system features a control cabinet with a control relay which continuously monitors operating states and relays the corresponding signals to the pneumatic system and the control lights.

Sensors monitor abrasive availability
Both of the tanks contain level sensors in the sand exit slot areas. Their signals are constantly monitored in the control station located in the electrical cabinet. When the abrasive level in the vessel reaches its minimum, the respective sensor gives a signal to the control relay which then opens the valve at the vessel inlet to automatically refill the vessel with abrasive. If the abrasive level in the upper tank is lower than required, a warning light begins to flash thus informing the operator to replenish the feeding hopper with abrasive sand.

The convenient solution for different demands
KMT offers the ABRALINE feeding system in two different sizes suitable for different requirements. The smaller version ABRALINE III is sufficient for ensuring the abrasive feed for occasional cutting needs. For large cutting machines which operate continuously and with multiple cutting heads, we recommend the model ABRALINE Advanced.

The mobile desludging system CLEANLINE removes sand deposits from the cutting basin during the ongoing cutting operation. Therefore, laborious manual basin cleaning, expensive suction services or long production stoppages are a thing of the past. The CLEANLINE is run on compressed air only; thus it can be used anywhere and without the risk of a short circuit.

Efficient desludging
Per minute, the CLEANLINE system removes approx. 50-60 kg of used abrasive from the basin. At this rate, a 3 m x 2 m cutting basin can be desludged in about 90-100 minutes.

Extracting and flushing in one go
The desludging system is equipped with a tube lance which swirls up and sucks in the sludge while at the same time jetting the filtered water back into the cutting basin. The tube lance is manually placed in the required position where it remains during the cutting process until the dispersion of the abrasive in the basin makes a change of position necessary or the basin is completely deslugded.

Specialized pump for a long lifespan
The CLEANLINE system is actuated by reliable pneumatically driven diaphragm pumps which have been developed specifically for handling aggressive, abrasive and viscous liquids. The pumps are protected against running dry, feature a maintenance-free air control valve, have no shaft seals, are self priming and are protected against overload.

Minimal maintenance
The CLEANLINE is manufactured from high quality components and materials thus guaranteeing long product life and low wear. The pump diaphragms, valve balls and valve seats are tried-and-tested industrial standard products which are easily exchangeable. Feel free to ask your KMT contact to purchase the necessary spare parts.

The integrated Solution for Automated Waterjet Cutting

Research and development in the field of waterjet cutting technology is increasingly focused on optimization and automation of the cutting process. As a leading provider of advanced waterjet cutting technology, KMT Waterjet Systems can again offer its customers more than others. The KMT range of leading-edge products includes now the AMS V abrasive management system, catering for the full integration of all components of a waterjet cutting unit.

Everything under control: centralised control and monitoring of all modules
The AMS V abrasive management system controls the entire abrasive supply flow of the watejet cutting machine, from filtering of the abrasive to monitoring the cutting process, ensuring optimised cutting results. The amount of abrasive used is a key cost factor for the operation of a waterjet cutting unit. Optimised control of all modules therefore does not only help achieve precision cuts, it also reduces the costs for consumables, thus giving you a clear competitive edge.

AMS V with Active Autoline™ II cutting head
Active Autoline™ II is an abrasive cutting head system that can be easily integrated into any waterjet cutting machine in a matter of seconds. The ACTIVE AUTOLINE™ II is particularly user-friendly, as the water nozzle can be replaced without the need for tools. The system does away with time consuming centring, and the three main wear parts can be replaced individually, when needed. The Active Autoline™II is a complete module consisting of a high pressure valve, a custom-length nozzle tube and the Autoline™ II cutting head with diamond and focusing tube.

Optimised abrasive feed
The abrasive material is fed through a wear-proof cemented hard metal tube at an angle of 30° to the mixing chamber. This reduces the need for space and prolongs the service life of the nozzle body and insert. The mixing chamber is positioned in such a manner that it offers easy access for the cleaning and replacement of the nozzle insert. A pin ensures proper alignment of the mixing chamber and the abrasive inlet at the nozzle body, so that flow loss caused by incorrect installation is effectively prevented. The water nozzle is mounted directly on the mixing chamber.

The three main components of the AMS IV abrasive management system:

ABRALINE V abrasive storage and supply system
FEEDLINE V abrasive metering system
Active Autoline II/PRO or ACTIVE IDE II/PRO abrasive cutting head systems
