“Long life” synthetic diamond nozzle
We
are pleased to announce a new range
of “Long Life” synthetic diamond
nozzles. Diamond’s extreme wear
resistant, thermal, and chemical
properties make it an ideal material
of choice for orifices and nozzles
operating in high velocity or harsh
production environments. Industrial
applications for these Long Life
Nozzles include dry spraying, water
jet cutting, cleaning, homogenizing
and painting. The Long Life diamond
nozzles for the water-jet cutting
application are primarily designed
for high volume production
environments, for instance in the
automotive industry. In comparison
with nozzles made of sapphire a
lifetime improvement of 15 to 20
times is achieved by using diamond.
Apart
from this improvement the synthetic
diamond does not contain cracks or
other imperfections in its
structure, and as a result implosion
events are eliminated.
The
successful development and testing
of the Long Life Nozzle was as a
result of a collaboration between
Element Six, the Swiss company MVT (www.mvt.ch)
and the University of Applied
Science at Aargau, Switzerland. “We
have demonstrated that by using a
“long life” diamond water-jet
nozzle, which produces a consistent
water-jet quality reduces production
down time significantly.
Consequently this Diamond Long Life
Nozzle will generate some great
operational cost savings,” stated
Mr. Waelti, President of MVT.
“Diamond is already the preferred
material of choice in many demanding
industrial applications and it is
rapidly replacing conventional
materials in many harsh
environments. Manufacturers that use
diamond as an enabling ingredient
are benefiting from its superior
properties and superior price/
performance ratios.” commented Paul
Dankers, the General Manager of
Element Six’s operation in The
Netherlands.
