Thanks to the partnerships developed with the main international component manufacturers we have been able to understand and manage the main issues of the waterjet technology. Nowadays Interfluid is a distributor of quality valves and fittings and made in Europe waterjet stainless steel tubes, and is able to guarantee shorter than average delivery time.
Waterjet technology had its debut in the Thirties for cutting paper, and today it is widely used in the industry to cut an ever-increasing quantity of materials: sheet metal, marble, plastic, rubber, leather, ceramic, glass, metals and even carbon fibres, to name a few.
Given the rapid evolution of technology, in order to ensure the efficiency of waterjet machines and exploit their full potential, in addition to carrying out preventive maintenance measures available today, in many cases it may be necessary to update the technology itself. In these cases, valuable assistance is found in specialised suppliers that can be consulted and asked specific questions about this type of industry.
The most immediate choice is usually to rely on market leaders, because they offer a guarantee of reliability and quality.
But how much does the time factor play a role? Delivery times often exceed 12 weeks, prices are not very competitive, and assistance is from afar, and not timely. If the ordinary maintenance or technological update can be scheduled well in advance, long delivery times may not be a problem. But what happens for extraordinary interventions, when the machine is out of operation and requires a replacement part?
In these cases, one is forced to wait with the machine off, or look for alternative solutions with shorter delivery times, which often elicit a certain mistrust in terms of quality and performance.
Interfluid is aware of the critical issues of the waterjet industry, and for years has invested in a large warehouse dedicated to high pressure components, including valves, pumps or fittings and pipes for pressures up to 6000 bar (88.000 psi).
Thanks to a collaboration with American and Italian component manufacturers, we are able to offer a wide range of quality waterjet products at competitive prices and shorter delivery times than those of the market.
Our specialized technicians can also help companies solve recurring problems that typically occur in the waterjet industry. A few examples?
Interfluid high pressure hoses are made in Europe, in standard material 316/316L, as well as 304/304L and other materials on request, have full traceability, and can be delivered pre-rolled to reduce warehouse space required.
Thanks to our large availability and wide range of products ready for delivery, we can help you save on transport costs by organising a single shipment for multiple different products, such as pipes, fittings and valves.
