HEAD Portable Waterjet Cutter: The Ultimate Solution for Safe Cutting in Explosive Environments
Stop risking costly shutdowns and safety breaches. When hot work permits are a liability and sparks are not an option, the HEAD Portable Waterjet Cutter is your definitive solution for operating safely and efficiently in Australia's most hazardous environments.
Working in the demanding oil & gas, mining, and petrochemical sectors means navigating constant risks. Traditional cutting methods introduce heat, sparks, and static, creating a critical threat in explosive atmospheres. The HEAD Portable Waterjet Cutter eliminates this danger entirely by using a high-pressure, abrasive water stream—a true "cold cutting" process that guarantees safety and compliance.
Core Applications: Your Go-To Tool for High-Risk Jobs
Engineered for versatility and rapid deployment, the HEAD waterjet is ideal for:
Oil & Gas: Safely cutting pipelines, decommissioning storage tanks, and performing maintenance without shutting down adjacent operations.
Mining: Cutting in underground environments with gas risks, and equipment maintenance where flammable materials are present.
Emergency Response & EOD: Precisely neutralising and cutting unexploded ordnance (UXO) and other dangerous chemical containers from a safe distance.
Petrochemical Plants: Modifying and repairing infrastructure without the need for extensive, costly plant-wide shutdowns.
Key Advantages: Engineered to Solve Your Biggest Challenges
1. Uncompromising Safety & Compliance
Your Pain Point: The constant stress and paperwork of managing hot work permits and the catastrophic risk of an ignition event.
Our Solution: Our system is a "cold cutting" process, generating no heat, sparks, or static electricity. The entire unit, including all electrical components, features a certified explosion-proof design, ensuring you meet and exceed Australia's stringent workplace safety standards and protect your team and assets.
2. Ultimate Portability for Remote & Confined Spaces
Your Pain Point: Transporting heavy, cumbersome equipment to remote sites or navigating tight, confined spaces.
Our Solution: With a compact footprint and weights starting from just 300kg, the HEAD waterjet is genuinely portable. It can be easily moved and set up by a small team anywhere your work takes you, from an offshore platform to an underground mine shaft.
3. Reduce Downtime with Rapid, Reliable Cutting
Your Pain Point: Lost revenue from every minute of operational downtime required for conventional cutting preparation and safety measures.
Our Solution: Get to work faster. Our system eliminates the need for extensive site preparation like gas freeing. With cutting speeds capable of slicing through 5mm steel plate at over 800mm/min (post-mix model), you can complete critical tasks faster and bring operations back online sooner.
4. Superior Versatility for Maximum ROI
Your Pain Point: Investing in multiple single-purpose tools that sit idle.
Our Solution: One system, multiple applications. The same high-pressure intensifier pump can be paired with different cutting heads and travel devices to cut pipes, tanks, and plates, maximizing the return on your investment.
We offer two specialised models to perfectly match your operational needs.
Characteristic
Pre-Mix Abrasive System
Post-Mix Abrasive System
Ideal Application
Rapid Mobility & Confined Spaces. Perfect for underground mining or jobs requiring frequent relocation and smaller cuts.
High-Volume & Continuous Operation. Ideal for large-scale outdoor projects with high efficiency and low operating costs.
