Company description

Founded Rio-Carb 27 years ago after extensive experience in the Physical Metallurgy fields, including conducting several overseas conferences and seminars. Twice President of the S.A. Institute of Welding. Highly invloved in welding aspects of all large projects in S.A. such as Sasol ll and lll, Koeberg Nuclear Station, Gariep Dam, Strategic Oil-Storage Projects, etc. Martin has the experience and overall vision to quickly design for, and assist our customers with unique cost saving solutions. He founded AquaJet Profiles (Gauteng) (Pty) Ltd in 2001.
The AQUAJET process uses Ultra High Pressure water (3500 Bar or 50,000 p.s.i.) pumped through a diamond jewel with a 0.2mm dia hole. This accelerates the water to MACH 2.5 (2.5 times the speed of sound). Abrasive garnet sand is then introduced into the stream of water and accelerated to MACH 2.5 with a 2.5 diameter (kerf) of 0.7mm.
The abrasive jet is directed with a Numeric Control system to an accuracy of 0.15mm maximum over 2.0 meters. The jet travel speed can be varied to regulate the quality (surface finish) of the cut. Material sizes of up to 4m x 2m and up to 300mm thick in Mild Steel and 200mm Stainless Steel can be loaded. There is no heat input, no distortion and no hard edge crust. Cutting to profile, hole piercing, shaping and milling can therefore be done in ONE process with high accuracy.
This 5 axis equipment will incorporate the latest technology in software, accuracy and reliability. AquaJet Profiles are now able to cut thick materials to machining tolerances of 0.07mm with their Tilt-a-Jet Process. Angles from 0° to 9° can be achieved or completely eliminated.
Fully adjustable head allows AquaJet to cut angles/ bevels in a straight line. Ideal for chamfering or weld preps up to 45° over a length of 4 meters.
