I dont think they make it "clean" they just remove most of the used sand and thats about it. Its a machine at the end and it will fill up with sand anymore at the end
Sir Mangler the main advantage to a waterjet is it doesnt affect the metals heat treating vs blow torch plus hold tight tolerances vs a laser a wj can cut 10x thicker material at a slower pace of course.

as it only goes thru sediment filters, not really.. it would at the least require some carbon filtration and go thru a membrane filter or you would risk heavy metal poisoning or other types of health risks due to the dissolved metal contents of the water that sediment filters wont remove. let alone the bacterial and microbial contents of the water that would be contained in it from the sand and crap rotting that has settled for a while..
oil soakers in case of a leak or needing to change the oil you just place that on the floor and then your pan and you wont have oil on the ground causing a slipping hazard have you guys ever worked in any type of garage?
+ShnitzlHaus Come to think of it.. Yea, it would be difficult to filter out of the rock particles from the non-Ferrous particles, and yes it would probably cost more to clean the sand then it would be to buy it.. but then again they use Garnet instead of normal beach type sand. The process would be the same tho and not very cost effective..
At the shop I work at periodically, they have a fancy filtration system which pumps the tank water up into a large (3ftx3ft or so filter bag to recycle the garnet. The water gets pretty clear after settling- hardly anything is left in the tank.
interesting, I assume this would be cycled after a job to keep the garnet in suspension? (yes I see now garnet not sand, using that interchangeably) curious enough to look into that and the life cycle.
Hey Waterjet Channel...... I just clicked on this a few minutes ago. I wondered about what kind of "group" you all were. What with the strange things you all cut up, but I gave you all the benefit of the doubt. Thinking you all were professional and a positive asset for the waterjet/machine shop industry. WAS I WRONG!!!!! With your smart ass response to "Gabriell Infinity" I see you all are noting but a bunch of has been machinist simply tearing up stuff and sending it onto You Tube. Just stupid stuff......you all must be on something.....drugs/drunk???? I don't get it......are you trying to be funny? Cute? Well .... you're neither.
Super greedy of me, but for next time... 1) Can we see the cleaned tank? 2) Can we possibly see what the filtered water looks like? 3) Could y’all run a huge magnet through the filth that comes out? 4) Can we see the giant filth pile a few days later after it dries out?
You should make the green people happy and sale the used media to a concrete company. With all the particulate metal it would have to add some strength to concrete. Thanks for the cool video!
height is a problem. did you see the bowling ball video? the ball is only 8.5" tall, and it made a terrible cut at the bottom of it. you could just stack the material high enough to prevent a cut.
That is more just a speed issue, there isnt much a water jet cant cut if actually take the time to set it to match the material hardness. For these videos it appears simply to be ran in manual control and if they see the water spray back up (moving too fast so the jet didnt fully cut thru), you can see they move it back and finish the cut thru a hair slower.
There is a video on the internet of a waterjet, which is able to raise higher, cutting through a solid 12 inch block of bulletproof glass. They are pretty much unstoppable.
Waterjet Channel Hardy har har. I have to say though, I live in Colorado and since weed was legalized I've noticed people's outfits getting stranger and stranger. It wouldn't surprise me at all if I saw someone, someday, wearing a pig head. I can just hear their convoluted long winded explanation( the kind only stoners can do) of how wearing a pigs head is their way of protesting then mistreatment of pigs on farms. And they'll have gotten the idea from your show because, let's face it, your's is one of those shows that could possibly attract that kind of person, lol. No offense , I mean that with lots of love.
magzire not that far actually. It's going too fast for a nice stream. The one I used just turned into fast mist after less than a metre. Same effect as a pressure washer.
Chicken Pie The knife videos always start with the knife in the title, while the waterjet is always at the end. VS doesn't imply anything winning or destroying the other, regardless or order, it just means that they are going against eachother. it's just that the one that is constant always 'wins'
The shop I worked at had some amazing garnet filters. The tank would never fill with garnet and always had "fresh" water in it. Just cleaned out all the drops and cut slats once a year!
Hey guys. My trade is waterjet cutting. Have been at it for the last 8 years or so and in that time we've only dug our tanks out twice. I would highly recommend fitting an abrasive removal system. Quite a simple process and save's having to dig the tanks out every 6 months. The best way is to use a Sandpiper bellows pump with flap valves.. If you need any advice on it, please give me a shout and I'll be happy to help.
Reminds of me when i was a kid and my uncle had me working for his landscaping business....i used to muck out people's garden ponds and the like...one time we cleaned this massive duck pond, 4 foot deep concrete lined pond, that was around a full acre in area...with 3 feet of mud on the bottom after being in place for over 50 years...the smell...oh my god the smell...
Ke1dan I shoveled a few tanks in my day! Your boss should look in to an Ebbco filter system! They keep the tanks virtually garnet free! we drained the tanks once a year just to clean out the slugs, drops and cut slats!
Out of curiosity have you tested the hardness of the water that comes out of the nozzle? I feel like that much sediment being dumped into the softener would cause the resin to be less efficient or hinder the softener from going through a proper regeneration.
We had a self extraction system fitted in one of our Waterjet Italia machines tanks. It lasted about 3 months before it completely failed. Abrasives and moving parts don't mix! LOL
You need to get an Extractor! We have units in operation that have pulled > 1 million lbs of garnet from tanks with no maintenance or repair time or $ invested. See them at garnetremoval.com to buy or rent one.
We have to clean out our waterjet every few months. We did it by hand for years. Then found out our county landfill will take it. so we have a septic pumper truck come in and do it. A lot less labor intensive. They just need a garden hose to keep the sand wet so the pump can suck up the sand easily.
Man you guys should invest in the ebco filtration system and a Xtraxtor garnet removal system. I have it and it is great. Run the Xtraxtor while the machine is cutting and keep the tank pretty clean. We leave metal debris in the bottom of the tank to deflect the jet and protect the bottom from excess wear.
The garnet doesn't "help" cut the metal, that is the material that cuts the metal. the water is only there to cool and act as a vessel to accelerate the garnet
Glad I don't have to clean out our tank at work... So much wasted time... I love our GRS. Though I do break down the table every other year, fix slat supports, check sweeper jets, etc.
You guys need to get an abrasive removal system. We use an Ebbco unit and have never had to use heavy equipment to clean our tank. We just use a forklift to pull the big bag out of the hopper every 4000lbs of abrasive.
I ran waterjet machines for 5 years 3 the same as yours and must have cleaned over 60 tanks out. The big 10 meter tank had to be cleaned out with a mini digger and took at least 2 full days 😂
Jake Spencer My last shop had garnet filters that kept the tanks nearly garnet free. Only drained them to clean out the slugs, drops and cut slats once a year! it was amazing!
derek hughes a few of the machines I ran had sand tracks in the bottom of the tank that would scrape the sand out into a skip but little bits of metal would drop into the tank and jam the track so the sand would just fill up. I used to cut a lot of 30mm titanium for army helicopter blades and that would beat the hell out of the slats the thickest titanium I cut was 175mm at about 12-15mm per minute and that just destroyed them 😂
WoW!!! i really enjoyed your videos guys!!! Have no idea how i end up here but im glad for that tho!!!! keep up the great work work cause you got a new supporter from Norway ! :)
The tank should be on wheels and deigned to roll up on a flatbed with a tail gate so you could go and dump the load, let it dry and reclaim the garnet. If you had two tanks then production would never stop.
Hi! Love the videos, but I have a couple of questions for you: What's the cutting machine called and how much did it cost to buy and setup? Thanks for the videos. Keep them coming :)
ALL THAT AND YOU DON"T SHOW THE CLEAN TANK?!
I dont think they make it "clean" they just remove most of the used sand and thats about it. Its a machine at the end and it will fill up with sand anymore at the end
weesh ful yeah it's just a waste bin basically so it's doesn't have to be spotless
weesh ful ye your right
Ya that part was great for my OSD.
Ultimate cock block feeling :(
Can you guys show some examples of real life work you do with the machine?
Yeah that would be sweet
arithehurricane they just cut glass and steal, along with similar materials
Jj
*This is it*
2019
I wanted to see the tank full of clean water!
Can you try cutting a Prince Rupert's Drop?
Savan Cleveland It's probably too small to cut and it would pop right away. That's my thought on it.
That would be a 4 second video
So what about 10 prince Rupert drops in a row or 20 :D
Savan Cleveland wtf is a prince ruperts drop?
fuzzy wuzzy are you on the Internet? yes you are, now go look it up........
So, what do you mainly do when you're working? What kind of things do you cut which you can't use a laser or blowtorch to cut?
Sir Mangler the main advantage to a waterjet is it doesnt affect the metals heat treating vs blow torch plus hold tight tolerances vs a laser a wj can cut 10x thicker material at a slower pace of course.

Cutting bulletproof glass is a big advantage these machines have.
It can also cut things without melting/distorting them and with a plasma cutter, whatever you're cutting has to be electrically conductive
these answers are cool and all but they aren't actually examples of what they might cut on a working day.
cut through steel-toe boots
maybe some other PPE as well?
They have finally after a year
It's about time for another tank cleaning video
Tyranzor Katastrophe and another one around now
The company that did some cutting for me had a built in auger system to keep their tank clear. The used media was shipped away in tanks for recycling.
So if the water wasn't coming out of that hose at 60,000 PSI would it be safe to drink?
well, they used it to cut up turkey/pie/chocolates/etc and then ate that food.
as it only goes thru sediment filters, not really.. it would at the least require some carbon filtration and go thru a membrane filter or you would risk heavy metal poisoning or other types of health risks due to the dissolved metal contents of the water that sediment filters wont remove. let alone the bacterial and microbial contents of the water that would be contained in it from the sand and crap rotting that has settled for a while..
Unless you like eating sharpened sand, probably not.
Kasigil yes without the abrasive
The operator safety card states that the water contains bacteria and other bad things usually found in sewage.
I've been waiting for this video. Thank you.
Why don't you throw away the empty sand bags? Hobby collection?
Dloweification they probs re use them
Laziness
Fire starter
Those bags are made from paper for single use.
oil soakers in case of a leak or needing to change the oil you just place that on the floor and then your pan and you wont have oil on the ground causing a slipping hazard have you guys ever worked in any type of garage?
how much money in sand does it use in 6 months? and overall cost to operate.
If you filter the sand... The sand costs nothing.
Valueless Dollar no sand brakes down, it's a consumable item. Even if you could filter it, a cost would be involved in doing so.
+ShnitzlHaus Come to think of it..

had no idea the excavator's shovel slowly moves when stationary
Bernardo Santos not supposed to, maybe a piston is leaking.
haha yea i noticed that as well.
Bernardo Santos it's called creep. the pressure is letting off. maybe a small leak in a ram or pump...
That tells you there is a leak forming. It really shows when it has a heavy load.
yeah that had me on edge
YOU SHATTERED AND CRUSHED GARNET!!! (Poor Garnet, I thought she was a feeling that could never end XD)
TIL how to empty a waterjet machine. Nothing complicated, just dig it out and mind the pig.
Thanks! Very interesting... and yes, it would be nice to see the clean tank after. LOL but true.
That was a very *UNSATISFYING END*
This was actually pretty informative, it's something I appreciate
What do you do with the dirty sand?
MASON MITCHELL he's being sarcastic
Legacys Infinity they feed it to the dogs
Dude this is Utah, you could start a MLM company and totally get away with that. You guys would be the next DoTERRA
Hey Waterjet Channel......
I just clicked on this a few minutes ago.
I wondered about what kind of "group" you all were.
What with the strange things you all cut up, but I gave you all the
benefit of the doubt.
Thinking you all were professional and a positive asset for the waterjet/machine
shop industry.
WAS I WRONG!!!!!
With your smart ass response to "Gabriell Infinity" I see you all are noting but
a bunch of has been machinist simply tearing up stuff and sending it onto
You Tube.
Just stupid stuff......you all must be on something.....drugs/drunk????
I don't get it......are you trying to be funny? Cute?
Well .... you're neither.
i think hes talking about a big ass hill of metalsand behind their barn
Super greedy of me, but for next time...
1) Can we see the cleaned tank?
2) Can we possibly see what the filtered water looks like?
3) Could y’all run a huge magnet through the filth that comes out?
4) Can we see the giant filth pile a few days later after it dries out?
its fascinating to see you playing around, but could you also make a video on actual projects that you are doing?
Depends if the client would allow it.
You should make the green people happy and sale the used media to a concrete company. With all the particulate metal it would have to add some strength to concrete.
Thanks for the cool video!
my only question is, is there anything it cant cut? and why cant it cut it?
height is a problem. did you see the bowling ball video? the ball is only 8.5" tall, and it made a terrible cut at the bottom of it. you could just stack the material high enough to prevent a cut.

I used to run a WJ and we would cut 9" thick titanium used as huge vault hinges!
The Gamers Elite Stalinium.
I'm glad I missed the manual cleaning at my shop. We call in a plumbing service and is running by the end of the day.
How much does that crushed garnet stuff cost? How much do you go through?
I love watching this video again, it’s just satisfying to watch it
It's crazy you guys use garnet to cut pig heads and jewelry stores sell it for people to wear.
Waterjet Channel Hardy har har. I have to say though, I live in Colorado and since weed was legalized I've noticed people's outfits getting stranger and stranger.

Megan Hess like the gta v masks
Because jewelry stores know that idiots will buy it.
U guys are a wayyyyyyyyyyy better version of what’s inside
how far would the water spray if pointed upwards
magzire thru the roof
magzire far
magzire not that far actually. It's going too fast for a nice stream. The one I used just turned into fast mist after less than a metre. Same effect as a pressure washer.
Very interesting! Keep up the great work! This stuff is awesome!
waterjet vs 1000 degree burning knife
Yasir Mohiuddin I commented this on the last video. remember, it has to be called EXPERIMENT glowing 1000 degree KNIFE vs 60,000 psi waterjet"
Glowing knife vs waterjet means glowing knife destroying waterjet whereas waterjet vs glowing knife means waterjet destroying glowing knife.
Chicken Pie The knife videos always start with the knife in the title, while the waterjet is always at the end. VS doesn't imply anything winning or destroying the other, regardless or order, it just means that they are going against eachother. it's just that the one that is constant always 'wins'
Fuck off with the stupid knife crap
Already done son.
I can't believe you guys do all of this just for our entertainment. you're all so nice 🤗
is the used sand considered hazardous material, and how do you dispose of it? just dump it out back or what?
crispyspa. I would imagine that after cutting open a car battery, it'd be hazardous... but I don't know.
G. Reaper
Nah the battery's acid would dissolve in the water so its not that hazardrous
I would want to know what they do with it because if it is hazardous then they can't dump I out back
It
Then I relies that you put that comment a yearago
honestly subscribed for the humor
hmmm hey guys I'm curious on what it smells like
Luke Chambliss I use chlorine in mine to keep smell down but I've been around others that stink all to hell.
The shop I worked at had some amazing garnet filters. The tank would never fill with garnet and always had "fresh" water in it. Just cleaned out all the drops and cut slats once a year!

That sand is Australian produced Garnet.
Mentorcase some of it is, a lot of it is from india as well.
That looks like it would be fun to play in
Like si vienes por Experimentos En Casa
balentin suares alfin alguien español xD
Angel Oneill OV si xd
That is exact the Kind of Content i like
Nokia vs waterjet 😂😂😂😂 the Nokia can t be destroyed
I have a nokia, dis is tru
nokia vs me... with a dremmel and pocket knife... i won. but that was on purpose, the nokia is the best when it comes to durability otherwise.
I use to work for a water jet cutting company for awhile. I couldn't get the mud stains out of my shirts when we got done cleaning the tanks.
What a dirty place...
as I write this it's about time for that tank to be cleaned again ;)
Can you try cutting me half the money you made from this?
Hahahahahaha ...slick.
What do you do with the sand after you've scooped it out?
Cut through a pen a pineapple an apple and another pen
conwick200522 😂😂😂😂
Reminds of me when i was a kid and my uncle had me working for his landscaping business....i used to muck out people's garden ponds and the like...one time we cleaned this massive duck pond, 4 foot deep concrete lined pond, that was around a full acre in area...with 3 feet of mud on the bottom after being in place for over 50 years...the smell...oh my god the smell...
After the hot knifes, the popular will be the water-cutting... remember this people!
Thanks. I like these kinda videos.
wow didnt expect so much
That was very interesting, and it answered some of my wonders. Thanks!
I show this video to my boss and maybe now we can be cleaning it, like this, not only shovels :D
Ke1dan I shoveled a few tanks in my day! Your boss should look in to an Ebbco filter system! They keep the tanks virtually garnet free! we drained the tanks once a year just to clean out the slugs, drops and cut slats!
I wish you had a sieve that you could have run that material through to get all the neat stuff out.
that was really interesting, thanks :)

Thank you for the explanatory video. Just wanted to know how effective just plain water would be against steel without the crushed garnet
Cut open one of those Hatchimals 😂😂
waterjet is the little death star
best outro ever!
Thanks. It has been very informative
FYI, you guys may want to get your mini-ex serviced. I saw some significant drift on the curl and boom cylinders.
looks like a really bad ass job to have im jelly
The garnet doesn't "help" cut the metal, that is the material that cuts the metal. the water is only there to cool and act as a vessel to accelerate the garnet
showin off your donuts? I liked watching the hydrolics settle in the arm, in between loads when the bucket was going outside to drop its load.
wow- been their ,done that. ok so put on a good show for everyone (but wait untill you need to clean the tank again) cut some magnisium
What's done with the old sand and water removed from the tank? Does it need to be disposed of in any certain manner?
So if you didn’t use the abrasive then you could fill a glass of water (without cutting it in half) and drink it?
Glad I don't have to clean out our tank at work... So much wasted time... I love our GRS.
Though I do break down the table every other year, fix slat supports, check sweeper jets, etc.
What is the song playing during the digging?
@Waterjet Channel
Song?
The song was so in sync in the beginning. I thought he was walking with a metal cane with a worn down rubber tip on the concrete floor haha.
nice work shop ..I would love to have a work shop like that. I mean the size wise.
You guys need to get an abrasive removal system. We use an Ebbco unit and have never had to use heavy equipment to clean our tank. We just use a forklift to pull the big bag out of the hopper every 4000lbs of abrasive.
Jeremy Wasserstrass The Ebbcos are freaking amazing!
Haaa Ham!!!! Fuckin hilarious!!!! Still finding fun in y’all’s previously uploaded videos. Right on dudes. Lol right on…
So... what do you do with the water/garnet dust sludge afterwards?
I wanna know what happens if it runs with no abrasive, probably nothing but the curiosity is still there!
looks like you should use a vacuum truck to empty that tank. make the job a lot easier
You both are so likeable. Keep up the great work. ☺
Sunday pro yeah they seem like really humble dudes
Oh sonu use a sand like product to help cut. Thats cool. Theres so much of it xD
that's pretty neat
I ran waterjet machines for 5 years 3 the same as yours and must have cleaned over 60 tanks out. The big 10 meter tank had to be cleaned out with a mini digger and took at least 2 full days 😂

WoW!!! i really enjoyed your videos guys!!! Have no idea how i end up here but im glad for that tho!!!! keep up the great work work cause you got a new supporter from Norway ! :)
Holy smokes that a whole days work
What happens to the used abrasive you dug out?
what do you do with the sludge removed from the tank?
Really love your channel
Lot of sand keep up the good work
Do you ever wash the sand through a screen ( after you empty the tank) to sift out whatever fell into the tank?
I love this channel
Did you guys ever find the rest of the pieces of the meteorite??
The tank should be on wheels and deigned to roll up on a flatbed with a tail gate so you could go and dump the load, let it dry and reclaim the garnet. If you had two tanks then production would never stop.
I just wonder if it would be easier to once per month stir the tank, use some pump for pumping dirty water, big hose and hose the water on backyard.
You should totally do another cleaning video
Hi!
Love the videos, but I have a couple of questions for you:
What's the cutting machine called and how much did it cost to buy and setup?
Thanks for the videos. Keep them coming :)
Do you treat the tank to reduce bacteria and how do you stop used abrasive from washing into the final drain or sewer?
i found a website that suggests that the water runoff can usually be put right down the drain.
I came for the waterjet, but i stay for Mitchell.
You should do a full video of cleaning it from start to finish and see what you find while cleaning it
