Cold cutting with the WASC technique

Cutting work in industrial plants demands an extremely high level of safety. In its Industrial Service Division, Buchen Umweltservice employs the Water Abrasive Suspension Cutting technique (WASC) on its customers' premises, fulfilling the highest plant construction requirements for precision, speed and environmentally friendly function. Versatile application methods permit cost saving solutions.

The WASC technique is particularly suitable for the cutting of pipelines, tank openings, apparatus, reactors and large tanks in refineries.

Advantages of the WASC technique at a glance:

• Working of materials from soft to steel-hard thanks to low cutting and reaction forces
• Vibration-free cutting
• Material saving through narrow cut width
• No health hazard from dust emissions or exhaust gases
• No material changes due to thermal stress
• No jamming of the tool in the cut
• Broaching of unmarked material
• Internal and external cutting of pipelines
• Cutting of concrete up to approx. 500 mm and steel up to approx. 400 mm
• Federal Agency for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) Certificate for cutting in areas subject to extreme explosion hazard (Ex Zone 0)
