New high pressure pump for waterjet cutting with 6,200 bar

The high-performance STREAMLINE PRO-I 125 ultra high pressure pump from KMT Waterjet is
now available. The unit generates a cutting pressure of 6,200 bar. With a motor power of 125 HP
(93kW), the pump produces a maximum volumetric flow of 5.4 litres per minute. This makes it
for example possible to simultaneously operate two cutting heads with 0.25 mm nozzles at a
pressure of 6,200 bar. Alternatively, the unit can be run with a single cutting head and a nozzle
diameter of 0.38 mm to cut extremely thick materials.

The cutting pressure of 6,200 bar is produced with the help of two pressure intensifiers operated with a phase shift that pump the cutting water through a 1.6 l pressure accumulator to the cutting heads. The standard machine comes with proportional pressure control system for the stepless adjustment of the cutting pressure. It is also equipped with a pressure transducer monitoring the cutting pressure in the high pressure line. This control circuit ensures equal utilisation of the two pressure intensifiers and optimises the pressure signal which significantly affects the cutting edge quality at the workpiece.

Maximum level of flexibility for all waterjet applications
The Ultra High-Pressure Pump STREAMLINE™ PRO is yet another top-range addition to KMT Waterjet’s unique range of high-pressure pumps. KMT Waterjet’s STREAMLINE™ series comprises a range of waterjet systems that is guaranteed to meet all needs – no matter whether you are looking for high flow rates, extremely high pressure or just a basic model simply featuring no more than essential water cutting equipment.

The new PRO – High-Pressure series
At KMT Waterjet, PRO is synonymous with turnkey waterjet cutting systems using pressures of up to 6,200 bar and that are supplied with all of the components required for waterjet cutting – from the high-pressure generator to the nozzle from which the cutting jet is aimed at the material requiring cutting. The 6,200 bar of pressure represent a nearly 50 % increase of the pressure conventionally used!
The advantages presented by this leap in technological progress include:
• Higher cutting speeds
• Improved cutting quality
• Less abrasive wear
