PRODUCTIVITY AND CREATIVITY
High-pressure water jet cutting
Potable water at more than 3000 bar passes through a nozzle of diameter between 0.1 and 0.2 mm (0.004″ to 0.008″). Given that we have a water jet there can be straight or curve cuts.
Water goes through the pastry at a speed 2.5 sound speed. The resulting jet cleanly cuts the product, both fresh or frozen, respecting the cold chain. Does the product get wet? The remaining water path is lower than cutting with a wet knife.
The machines work with a water pump that includes a hydraulic pressure intensifier, like the ones used for steel, plastic, glass or marble. The main difference is that an abrasive is required to cut such materials.
Since 2001, we are specialized manufacturers in waterjet cutting technology for pastry.
It is the most advanced cutting technology on the market. Today, more than 700 Watercut machines are operating in over 50 different countries across 5 continents. Watercut has a strong presence in France, where it is now considered standard equipment for daily work.

OWN TECHNOLOGY
Watercut mechanics
The product is placed on a 60 x 40 cm (24” x 16”) tray that goes inside the machine (other dimensions available). It can be used the area you want.
The patented mechanics are based in a jet that goes through the product and goes directly to the drain placed beneath the tray. The water strength takes out air and humid air. Besides, in order to avoid the bottom layer getting wet, the tray is made by sharpened blades that hold the product and send the water to the drain. We have 2 main tray designs with different distance between blades.
The product variety that can be cut is bigger than any other cutting technology, specially if we take into account that waterjet cutting is suitable to cut products at -20 °C: cakes, millefeuille, chocolate, mousses…
We use high-quality food-grade steels and plastics that allow us to obtain the most demanding certifications.
The skilled manpower hours become minutes of non-skilled manpower
CUSTOMIZING
Design new shapes easily
We have developed our own shape generator software that includes the most common basic geometries totally optimized, such as rectangles, circles, flags, hearts, trees… You choose the size or amount of pieces.
Besides, in an easy and friendly user experience with intuitive commands, it is possible to generate your own shapes, use downloaded images, logotypes, write texts and edit to combine them in any size or shape. Repeat the design in a pattern the amount of times you want. There’s no limit for your creativity. The algorithm generates a pattern minimizing the waste. It is the most advanced and easy-to-use software in the market.
From an artisan pastry, a medium sized production company or even airlines can customize their products with any detail and maximum precission thanks to the waterjet we use in Watercut.
