Water jet cutting garnet sand

garnet sand 80#


Basic information
HONEST HORSE garnet sand is almandite garnet, one of the hardest minerals. We closely cooperate with the leading waterjet equipment manufacturers to develop the higher performance and more cost-effective products for the WJ customers. We remain the garnet leading supplier in China who keep product research, development, performance and cost-effectiveness.

HONEST HORSE Advantages in Waterjet Cutting
Garnet comes in two basic forms, crushed and alluvial, the later being roughly similar to sand washed up on riversides. Our garnet for export is produced from our crystalline almandite garnet deposits. Thank to its sharp edges from crushing, this kind crushed garnet acts more a sharp cutting tools so that it is superior to alluvial and have been shown to cut better and faster.
 
Sharper Edges - Due to our HONEST HORSE garnet sandis crushed from almandine rock, it acts more a sharp cutting tools and can cut faster and more efficiently than alluvial garnet.
 
Faster Cutting - Crushed and selected from hard rock so that HONEST HORSE  waterjet grade garnet produces harder and sharper edges than other waterjet abrasives. These characteristics enable our garnet more a hard and sharp cutting tool to finish a faster cutting.
 
Better Edge quality - According to the cutting material and edge quality requirement, there are various special and proper waterjet grades recommended that enable a better edge quality.
 
Less Dusty - HONEST HORSE  garnet has high garnet purity and very low dust. That makes the whole cutting course more smoothly. 
 
Choosing the Proper Mesh or Grade
HONEST HORSE offers various grades to match any focusing tube and orifice for any given cutting applications. Choosing the proper mesh, or grade, for the operation is very imperative. Different mesh sizes of garnet are designed to pass through different sized nozzles and choosing the wrong grade could be stop a waterjet operation completely. If the garnet grade is too large or coarse, the granules can jam inside a tube and cause a blockage. Too fine an abrasive have a tendency to “clump” together inside the cutting head and again, have the potential to clog. Or it may inhibit the flow of garnet in the feed tube and not consistently enter the venture of water flow between the jewel and nozzle. If you are not sure which mesh or grade is proper, feel free to contact us and we would to give you our professional suggestions.

  Coarse   60 Mesh
  Medium   80 Mesh
  Fine   120 Mesh
  More fine grades   150 mesh, 180 mesh, 200 mesh, 220 mesh

A waterjet cutting machine also cuts hard materials, such as metal, stone, glass, or ceramics. For this, the water jet must be mixed with a cutting medium (abrasive) – for example, garnet sand. This procedure uses the abrasive jet as the separating device. The water jet serves to speed up the abrasive particles. Waterjet cutting with abrasive is comparable to microchipping.
Advantages of waterjet cutting
•  Efficient production technology as well, and especially with single part manufacturing
•  Almost no heat input in the component through the cutting jet
•  No structural changes in the material, such as increased hardness and micro fissures
•  High machining accuracy and surface quality at the cutting edge
•  No pollutants created during the cutting process

Sandblasting garnet sand

garnet sand 80#

Sand blasting: garnet sand abrasive has features of good hardness, high bulk density, heavy specific weight, good toughness and no free silica. It is widely used in aluminum profile, copper profile, precision molds, and many other fields. And it is used for sandblasting, rust removing and surface treatment in stainless steel, carbon steel,steel structure, aluminum, titanium,galvanized parts,glass, stone, wood, rubber, bridge,shipbuilding,ship repair, etc.

A.Garnet sand blasting abrasive has features of good color, high hardness, long lifetime, self-sharpening,high grinding efficiency, low consumption, good finish and high recycling rate.

B.The sandblasting level of garnet sand is very high. It can penetrate into the holes and uneven parts to completely remove the oxide layer, corrosion, residual salts, burrs and other debris. The sand-blasted surface has no insert, no adverse convex point and pits, no embedded sand,and achieves SA3 blasting level with uniform surface roughness.

C.Garnet sand surface roughness can reach 45-55,50-75 microns. After sandblasting, the surface roughness is moderate which can effectively reinforce the adhesion between coatings and substrate.

D.D.Garnet Sand sandblasting has the features of high blasting speed, low consumption, low cost. Garnet sand is a cost-effective product that can replace quartz sand, copper slag, cinders, corundum, glass beads, etc.

E.After several times washing, garnet sand blasting abrasive has very low dust content and its dust emission is also low, which can keep a good working environment. It is harmless to the environment and humans, which can meet the requirements of occupational health and safety.

F.Garnet sand contains no free silicon, heavy metals and other harmful substances,and the chloride content is less than 50 ppm.It can meet the strictest requirements of industry and military technology.

 

Water Filtration garnet sand


HONEST HORSE filter sand is a hard rock garnet and is mined from an almandite garnet deposit. It is ideal for use as the water filtration grained layer in multi-media systems. HONEST HORSE garnet filter sand provides uniform physical characters, chemical and microstructure characteristics. There are no free elements. All oxides are combined chemically as an iron-rich aluminosilicate, which has the formula: Fe3AlO3(SiO4)3. It is as polishing layer for removal of suspended solids down to 1μm, which combined with silicate sand and anthracite filter.

Thanks to it heavy specific weight and stable chemical properties . Our garnet sand 20-40# can be used as the bottom media of filter bed in water filtration of chemical industry ,petroleum ,pharmacy ,cleaning drinking water or waste .It is one of the most cost effective alternatives for water filtration beds to replace silica sand and gravel in water filtration ,Especially it can be applied in beneficiation of non-ferrous metals and oil drilling mud weighting agent, because it resets the filter bed more rapidly after the filter bed is back-flushed.
