Waterjet systems manufacturer Jet Edge Inc. introduces its new Permalign V-Series Mini Hopper for abrasive waterjet cutting. The variable aperture Permalign V-Series Mini Hopper increases abrasive waterjet cutting productivity and profitability by allowing waterjet operators to easily make adjustments to abrasive flow, minimizing abrasive consumption.
The Permalign V-Series Mini Hopper’s water-resistant design helps prevent annoying abrasive clogs that can cause stoppages and scrap out expensive material. Built for the harsh abrasive jet environment, the Permalign V-Series Mini Hopper does not require an enclosure, allowing for much cleaner operation. The mini hopper is infinitely adjustable between 0.10 pounds per minute to 2 pounds per minute and features improved venting of excess abrasive.
The Permalign V-Series Mini Hopper is available as a replacement part for all Jet Edge abrasive waterjet cutting systems.

waterjet cutting
Fine, high-pressure (up to 50,000 psi or greater), high-velocity jet of water directed by a small nozzle to cut material. Velocity of the stream can exceed twice the speed of sound. Nozzle opening ranges from between 0.004" to 0.016" (0.l0mm to 0.41mm), producing a very narrow kerf. See AWJ, abrasive waterjet.
