Founded in 1994, SNZ has continuously developed into one of Europe’s leading abrasive waterjet contract cutting companies. With a 720 square meter machine hall and a combined 480 square meters of internal and external storage space, SNZ is equipped to manage projects of varying size and complexity.
The company primarily serves customers in the automotive research and development sector, where precision, flexibility, and fast turnaround times are critical.
High Performance Production Environment
SNZ operates with 500 horsepower installed capacity to manage demanding waterjet cutting applications. All components must meet strict quality assurance requirements, as automotive R&D customers expect consistent performance and on-time delivery.
To maintain competitive pricing while meeting these standards, SNZ relies on advanced high performance waterjet cutting technology.
Technology Solution
After learning about Quantum SPT and its electric servo pump technology, SNZ identified it as a strong operational fit. The Quantum ESP provides improved energy efficiency in high pressure waterjet cutting, particularly important in facilities operating at high power levels.
Stefan Manis, Director, explained:
“Running 500 horsepower results in significant energy consumption. The efficiency gains provided by ESP technology have enabled us to expand the business while reducing operating costs.”
Operational and Maintenance Benefits
In addition to energy savings, the electric servo pump supports simplified maintenance compared to traditional hydraulic systems.
Mike Schulze, Production Manager, stated:
“We now operate three Quantum ESP units. The increasing demand for transparency in the automotive supply chain presents challenges, but this technology enables us to consistently meet our delivery commitments.”
