Stay informed with the latest insights, innovations, and technical updates from the world of waterjet cutting and pump technology.
The pump carries most of a waterjet’s maintenance load, because it is where water is raised to cutting pressure, and water at 4,100 bar (60,000 psi) erodes whatever contains it the moment a leak starts. High-pressure seal life is decided by inlet water, pressure class...
The 90,000 psi class runs at a working pressure of 6,000 bar (88,000 psi). At the same installed power, a 4,100 bar (60,000 psi) pump buys you flow and a 6,000 bar pump buys you jet velocity. That one trade sets everything downstream: cutting speed, garnet per part,...
In this video you will see a Power comparison between the Quantum ESP (Electric Servo Pump) and a high pressure Intensifier Pump. The tests are based on cutting and in idle mode. This test indicates the reduced power benefits over ultra high pressure intensifier pumps (UHP) and direct drive pumps.
