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.
