GMA WaterJet Garnet is the industry's leading abrasive for waterjet cutting. This high-performance consumable harnesses the natural strength and purity of the finest almandine garnet and is specifically designed for water jet cutters.
With superior hardness and toughness and a commitment to environmental sustainability, GMA Garnet™ is engineered to maximise productivity while minimising environmental impact. It propels your manufacturing processes into the future with cleaner, faster, and more precise cuts across various materials.
GMA Garnet™, forged from the toughest almandine, is up to 30% harder than other garnets, slashing through materials at unparalleled speeds.
This formidable hardness translates to a higher resistance to wear and the capacity to deliver faster cutting speeds, boosting your productivity to new heights.
The subangular shape of GMA Garnet™ strikes the perfect balance between aggressive cutting and surface roundness.
This angularity ensures high production rates and superior surface quality, with minimal dust and embedment, redefining efficiency in waterjet cutting applications.
With a density that surpasses other garnets by up to 20%, GMA™ brings more kinetic energy to every cut, making it a superior choice in abrasive garnet for waterjet cutting.
Shape the most robust materials with a consistent anchor profile and experience a seamless, steady flow that maintains cutting speed and precision,
Exhibiting up to 100% more toughness than other garnets, GMA Garnet™ stands strong against shattering and produces significantly less dust.
This resilience ensures consistent high-quality edges in waterjet cutting.
GMA™ abrasive waterjet garnet stands out for its extraordinary purity, significantly mitigating dust production during cutting. This purity ensures the longevity of waterjet machinery by reducing the potential for abrasive dust to clog or wear out critical components. Additionally, the cleaner-cutting environment contributes to better workplace health and safety. These points and much more are why Performatec is a proud GMA™ waterjet garnet supplier.
GMA Garnet™'s uniformity, available in 80 mesh for waterjet and 120 mesh for waterjet, is a product of thorough processing, ensuring that each particle contributes evenly to the cutting process. This consistency is vital in abrasive waterjet cutting as it guarantees a steady, predictable flow through the nozzle, minimising potential disruptions from blockages and contributing to smoother, more precise cuts.
This uniformity is essential for industries requiring high tolerances and detailed work, such as aerospace or medical device manufacturing.
Specifically tailored for waterjet cutting, GMA Garnet™ balances cutting speed with edge quality. This optimisation is essential for operations that demand both rapid production and high-quality finishes, allowing manufacturers to maintain efficiency without compromising on the precision or integrity of the cut.
