Industrial Cleaning Products

Flow's ultrahigh-pressure industrial cleaning systems prepare superior surfaces faster, and with less cost. Because only pure water is used to remove coatings, waterjetting cost less than grit blasting by eliminating the need for collection, containment, and disposal of abrasive. Removing coatings with water instead of grit allows for other work to be done during the waterjet operation. Steel, mechanical and electrical work, or painting, can be performed concurrently with waterjet industrial cleaning, which means projects are completed in less time. With an environmentally-friendly industrial cleaning system from Flow, you will realize increased productivity and reduced project costs. In addition, Flow is the only waterjet company in the world that offers total solutions from a single source, both before and after your system is installed.

Robotic Products

The Flow Robotics team supports equipment installations worldwide. Because we design/manufacture and service everything we sell, Flow Robotics is uniquely qualified to offer "Total Solutions Automation" to customers requiring machinery in any of the following areas: Automated Assembly Stand-alone Parts Feeding Testing and Inspection Robotic Material Handling Waterjet Cutting Waterjet Cleaning Cells

Slitter Systems Products

Flow's Waterjet slitting systems are the fastest, most efficient way to cut paper and web based products. Dust-Free Cutting Dust-free cutting improves working conditions, reduces housekeeping and produces a higher quality product. Waterjet carries away kerf material, simplifying the collection and disposal process. Reduces printability issues that arise from dust contamination. Safety Waterjet slitters are easily guarded so worker safety is improved. Remote on/off controls and automatic positioning keep workers safe. Safety Features: Electrical, mechanical interlocks, industry-approved guards, and optional light curtains. Eliminate Rewinding In many tissue and towel applications, waterjet slitting eliminates rewinding so you save on capital equipment expenses by slitting on-line. A can be installed right on the machine, and the edge meets all requirements for converting operations. Higher-Cutting Speeds The low cutting force of waterjet means it can cut at higher speeds than a mechanical knife. Cutting speeds as high as 10,500 feet (3,200 meters ) per minute, or higher, depending on winder speed. Reduce Downtime Flow's slitter systems are designed to streamline and improve the efficiency of your manufacturing process. Flow's waterjet slitting systems are designed with "redundant" nozzles that double slitting time between "knife" changes. With no moving parts or bearings and a diamond orifices accompanied by proper water treatment, operating time for a carriage can be as long as 4,000 hours. The waterjet edge never dulls so your maintenance is reduced and your operating cycles are longer. Positioning, whether manual or automatic is fast and easy. Time for automatic waterjet slitter position changes: approximately 30 seconds. While changing an orifice only takes 1 minute. Strong Cut Edge Edge strength tests comparing waterjet with knives on lightweight paper and tissue grades show that the waterjet edge is as strong as a sharp knife-edge. Waterjet can cut coated paper stock without edge fracturing. Added stacking and edge crush strength. Reduce Web Breaks Waterjet can enter, exit, and cross a moving web without breaking it. Waterjet slitting is not affected by holes or other imperfections in the web. Significantly reduce coated web breaks. Fewer web breaks reduce downtime.

Waterjet Cutting Products

Waterjet cutting systems are the world's most versatile machine tools. Flow systems cut virtually any shape in a single step with edge quality that usually requires no secondary finishing. They're the most productive solution for cutting a wide range of materials from 1/16 inch to over 8 inches thick. Flow is the only firm in the industry which can offer both ultrahigh-pressure intensifier and HyPlex direct drive pumps, ensuring our customers get the pump that is right for them and their unique application. Whether you machine high volume, short run, or prototype parts, a Flow system is the choice that will keep you competitive. Here's why: No Other Tool Cuts or Machines a Greater Variety of Materials From glass to stones to composites and metals, nothing cuts and machines a greater variety of materials than an abrasive waterjet. Their versatility is unmatched.
