Many years’ experience and significant research work, as well as a innovative company structure are reflected in the high quality and reputation of brand names such as STREAMLINE^™, ACTIVE AUTOLINE^™, AQUALINE^™, ABRALINE^™ and FEEDLINE^™ etc. The complete product range of high quality system components make KMT Waterjet Systems an ideal partner for everybody interested in cold cutting methods.

After having changed from Ingersoll-Rand to the Swedish KMT group, KMT Waterjet Systems have both successfully stood their ground on the market and expanded their position. Thanks to the acquisition of additional competent experts in the field of water jet, KMT Waterjet have been able to increase their know-how and are optimally equipped to master new challenges. Focus is on the development of new products, the preservation of the high level of quality and on encompassing product-accompanying service for the benefit of water jet cutting technology.

At the same time, KMT Waterjet are expanding their global distribution – and service network by opening branches in the United Arab Emirates (Dubai) and in France (Paris), thus intensifying their activities on the markets in Mideast and in Europe. The opening of these new branches shows that KMT Waterjet Systems are well aware of the growing importance of the Arab and the European markets; it also emphasizes their global philosophy of maximum customer proximity. A survey on the worldwide net of branches is shown at the end of this press release.

At the occasion of the Hanover Fair from 11–15 April 2005, Hall 4, Stand C 03, KMT Waterjet is presenting the product line STREAMLINE^™SL-V that has been successfully introduced after having replaced the tested and tried SL-IV KMT product line.

The centerpiece of the new Waterjet Pump Generation is the all new Hard-Seal-End-Cap-Design (HSEC) intensifier concept, offering unparalleled levels of service and operator friendliness. The patented design for positioning and sealing the check valve in the high pressure section allows the design to be extremely compact. As a result, required service procedures are significantly easier and guarantee economical operation.

New Products from KMT Waterjet Systems in Hanover

The leading motive of our 2005 Hanover Fair presence is the introduction of the new STREAMLINE^™SL-V in the following configurations and complimentary offerings:

• STREAMLINE^™SL-V Classic
• Abrasive Management System AMS I

Photo: You can use STREAMLINE^™SL-V Classic both ways: either independently as a stand-alone unit or communicating with the central control system of the entire cutting machine. The STREAMLINEª SL-V Classic is designed for flexible production in pure water as well as in abrasive applications. It is dedicated to those kinds of cutting jobs, which require cutting pressure of up to 3.600 bar/52.000 psi. The high reliability and lifetime performance equal those of our more sophisticated STD (Standard) and Plus series. In particular smaller companies, which run their equipment in single shift operation or are just entering into the waterjet cutting business will appreciate the SL-V Classic as an economic system solution. They now can afford to make use of the huge benefits which the KMT waterjet cutting technology provides at an affordable cost.
