Waterjet Mixing Tube

Waterjet mixing tubes are critical wear components in abrasive waterjet systems. They are responsible for focusing the high-speed mixture of water and abrasive particles into a stable cutting stream. The inner diameter accuracy, straightness, and wear resistance of the tube directly influence cutting quality, kerf consistency, and service life.
