Latest Patents
Gerald Svihel holds a patent for a system titled "Water jet machining with abrasive recovery and filtration." This invention features a continuous flow recirculating jet machining system that incorporates a dynamic particle separator downstream of the fluid collection reservoir. The design promotes the separation of larger-diameter particulates by directing the water or other liquid in a serpentine path. Additionally, a filter bank downstream of the dynamic separator removes fine particles in several stages, providing multiple alternative fluid flow paths at each stage. This design facilitates filter replacement and maintenance without interrupting system operation. Furthermore, the system can include a settlement tank to separate larger and intermediate-sized particles upstream of the filter bank.
