The acquisition of an Ingersoll-Rand powered Waterjet Sweden cutting machine has given Harper and Simmons the biggest advance in reducing lead times in recent years.
Aqua-Dyne, based in Houston, Texas, has been making high pressure waterjetting systems for over 30 years.
They typically operate at 690 to 2560bar and are used for diverse operations including surface preparation work as an environmentally friendly alternative to sand blasting or grinding.
The process can also be used for the internal cleaning of pipes and heat exchangers, as well as for concrete removal in a process known as hydro-demolition.
The company's extensive product range is designed for use within many sectors of industry including construction.
Products are divided into dedicated operational areas and include pumps and pumping units, surface preparation and cleaning systems, and hydrostatic testing equipment as well as a range of nozzles and other accessories.
"The acquisition of Aqua-Dyne significantly increases our market potential in the waterjet area".
"By combining KMT Waterjet Cutting Systems' existing organisation, international experience and distribution channels with Aqua-Dyne's strong brand, we see considerable growth opportunity worldwide", said Lars Bergstrom, President and CEO of KMT.
