ABSTRACT

The global environmental trends lead to utilizing of so called „clean technologies“ with
minimum environmental impact. In case of high-speed continual waterjets application it
is possible to expect substantial raise of products manufacturing efficiency.
The analysis of the system of separating and recycling abrasive material from a fluid in
abrasive water jet cutting process was the aim of the research. The research has been
conducted with process condition, enviromental approaches and high efectivenes of the
technology.
