Garnet Sand: Striking the Optimal Balance Between Cutting Performance and Cleanliness

Ensuring Cutting Efficiency
Cutting efficiency primarily depends on the grain size, hardness, and purity of the garnet. Coarser grains (e.g., 80 mesh) offer strong impact force, suitable for rapidly cutting thick materials, while finer grains (e.g., 120 mesh) enable more precise cuts. Furthermore, high-purity garnet, free from impurities that could diminish its cutting ability, is essential for ensuring both speed and quality.

The Importance of Cleanliness
The cleanliness of the garnet abrasive directly impacts equipment longevity and the working environment. If the sand contains excessive dust or fragile particles, it can clog nozzles, accelerate wear on feed lines, and potentially create dust pollution. Therefore, selecting garnet that is thoroughly washed, with low dust content and consistent particle size, is critical. Moderately hard grains also help minimize secondary pollution caused by excessive fragmentation.

The Key to Achieving Balance
Achieving the best balance between cutting and cleanliness involves selecting the appropriate garnet grain size based on the specific material and precision requirements, while prioritizing high-quality sand that has undergone rigorous screening and washing. Additionally, optimizing waterjet parameters (such as water pressure and abrasive flow rate) helps maintain cutting power while reducing abrasive residue and equipment wear.

In summary, through scientific material selection and precise process control, garnet sand can achieve an ideal equilibrium between efficient cutting and system cleanliness, ultimately delivering a win-win scenario for both economy and sustainability.
