Flow International Corporation (Kent, WA) announced that Howe and Howe Technologies, a leading Extreme Vehicle Fabricator featured on the Discovery Channel, has added Flow’s Mach 3 waterjet cutting system as a key element in their fabricating process.
“This waterjet has become the key machine tool in our fabrication shop,” explains Mike Howe. “Since it was installed, it has been used on pretty much every project we’ve taken on. It’s at least doubled, if not tripled, our efficiency.” Howe and Howe Technologies designs and builds full-sized manned and remote controlled dual tracked vehicles, emergency recovery vehicles for first responders, and vehicles designed for mining personnel transport and safety.
The Flow waterjet being used is a 4 ft x 8 ft Mach 3 system that includes a Dynamic Waterjet that was invented by Flow to provide fast, accurate cutting. Season Two of Howe & Howe Tech will be aired on Monday nights at 10 p.m. on the Discovery Channel beginning December 13, 2010. Flow International Corporation is a leading developer and manufacturer of ultrahigh-pressure waterjet technology for cutting and cleaning. Flow provides state-of-the-art ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) technology to numerous industries including automotive, aerospace, job shop, stone interiors, surface preparation, food and dozens more.
Howe and Howe Technologies, Inc. is internationally known and respected for extreme vehicle fabrication and design. Much of this recognition stems from the development of the world’s fastest dual tracked vehicle titled “Ripsaw.” However, Howe and Howe Technologies continue to push the envelope with the advent of PAV1 “Badger,” the world’s smallest manned armored assault vehicle and SR1 “Subterranean Rover 1” for mining transport.
