High Pressure Pumps with Innovative Technology

03.05.2004

The new generation of High Pressure pumps from KMT Waterjet Systems offers numerous novelties and technological advancements making pressure generation even more practical, reliable and economical. Less consumables, modern safety features, higher cutting speeds and easier operation are the most important features of this new technology.

High Pressure Pumps with Innovative Technology

STREAMLINE SL-V High Pressure Pumps are offered in five power ratings from 11 kW to 75 kW, producing reliable high pressure water for pure water and abrasive applications.

Further Development of Intensifier Concept

At the heart of the development of the new STREAMLINE SL-V Series is the newly redesigned Intensifier concept featuring the Hard Seal End Cap Design „HSEC“. This construction replaces traditional seals in the seal head area with a metal to metal connection, making two of the complete seal assemblies unnecessary. This reduces the number of wear parts as well as the running costs; production uptime is also increased substantially. The design of the HP Cylinder cap has been modified so that the pressure of 500 to 4.100 bar is controlled with a torque of only 48 Nm. This is the equivalent to that of the common M10 – 8.8 screw. The complete disassembly of the intensifier is no longer necessary for maintenance. The replacement of HP seals and check valve components is a one step operation requiring only 5 to 10 minutes.

Lower Running Costs Thanks to New Technology

The patented HYPERLIFE seals guarantees a outstandingly long uptime of the system. Required maintenance work and costs are further reduced. The same is valid for the hydraulic „All-In-One“ seal. This component integrates six pieces into one cartridge allowing for quick replacement without the necessity of disassembly of the hydraulic section of the intensifier. The Softstarter (Standard equipment on the SL-V 30S, SL-V50S and SL-V Classic) reduces electrical peaks during startup to the bear minimum. The load control is a further feature reducing the energy consumption and related costs.
