Plunger pump for water-jet cutting machines FLOW WATERJET EUROPE
The direct drive pump operates in the same manner as a low-pressure "pressure washer" that you may have used to pressure wash a house or deck prior to repainting. It is a triplex pump that gets the movement of the three plungers directly from the electric motor. These pumps are gaining acceptance in the waterjet industry due to their simplicity. At the time of this writing, direct drive pumps can deliver a maximum continuous operating pressure 10 to 25% lower than intensifier pumps units (20k to 50k for direct drive, 40k to 60k for intensifiers).
Only Flow manufactures both HyPlexTM and intensifier pumps. As a result, we can offer you the pump solution that is best suited for your application. Whether you run 24 hour, 7 days a week production or prototype jobs only a few hours a day, we have the right pump for you. Best of all, no matter which style of pump you choose, you'll receive a Flow pump that is reliable, simple, efficient, and easy to maintain. The focus of all our designs is performance, reliability and longevity so that your productivity is increased.
Flow Pumps Operate At Higher Pressures
Flow intensifier pumps are rated at 60,000 psi and our systems actually run at that pressure. No backing off, no hedging. It's another big reason why Flow equipment out-produces all others. Flow manufacturers the most complete range of ultrahigh-pressure waterjet pumps in the industry. From 205 hp, 6.5 gpm diesel powered Husky pumps for surface preparation to 100,000 psi pumps used for ultrahigh-pressure food processing to intensifier and direct drive pumps for waterjet cutting, Flow has a pump to meet your needs. Flow is the only waterjet company to offer its customers a choice of intensifier or HyPlex(direct drive) waterjet cutting pump technology. The wide range of waterjet pumps Flow builds is your assurance that you and your application will be paired with a pump that is specifically tailored to meet your needs.
Our waterjet cutting pumps set the industry standard for performance and reliability that is proven in 24 hour, 365 day a year operations around the world. All Flow pumps are capable of smooth, continuous operation, year after year, at the pressure they are rated. This ensures you receive the maximum possible benefit of pump's capacity and the performance you have paid for. It's an important distinction to make, because a pump's performance is limited by the lowest pressure it reaches in a cycle. By operating smoothly with a minimum of pressure fluctuations at the highest rated pressure a Flow pump can outperform other pumps which are rated for high pressures, but don't necessarily operate there smoothly or continually.
