KMT Waterjet system offers 6,200 bar pressure for similar hp rating

KMT Waterjet Systems' Streamline PRO Range is capable of 6,200 bar and marks a 50% increase in pressure capability, compared to KMT's previous SL V system.

The horse power in the pumps hasn't changed significantly, but by increasing the pressure and decreasing the jet diameter, the energy density hitting and cutting the material is much stronger and more efficient than before. This brings an extended list of benefits to the user – including higher cutting speeds, increased pressure flexibility, reduced use of abrasive and the ability to cut new materials.

Cutting and piercing speeds are increased substantially and this gives a marked benefit to the edge quality and cutting taper too.

The Streamline PRO Range is flexible, being able to operate with a variable pressure between 500 – 6,200 bar, and can run multiple cutting heads from either of the 60 hp or 125 hp pumps.

The new Streamline PRO 60 or 125 hp also produce significantly less pollution and emissions than predecessors. Operating at 6,200 bar reduces the amount of electricity, water and abrasive required to produce each part.
