About Applied New Technologies

ANT AG develops and produces Water Abrasive Suspension (WAS) jet cutting units as well as special machinery and cutting devices for various applications.

Water Jet Cutting

With the water abrasive suspension (WAS) cutting process almost all materials can be cut with the aid of a high pressure water jet and sharp-edged abrasive. This specialised technology is used both in air and underwater in the deactivation of munitions, the offshore industry, and also in industrial plants and nuclear power stations where there is a risk of explosion.

Advantages over other cutting methods:

• Cutting tasks in air and underwater
• Independent of material steel, glass, concrete, composites, sandwich structures, etc.
• Only one hose to the cutting nozzle
• High cutting velocity with high accuracy
• Minimal cutting seam width of less than 1 mm possible (low secondary waste)
• Minimal consumption of abrasive material
• Cold process without thermal zones or burning
• Cut is free of dust or gas
• Low reactive forces
• Good remote manipulation capability
• No component modifications or deformations measurable
