Highly versatile waterjet cutting offers major advantages in terms of accuracy of cut, limited material distortion and almost burr free edges, as will be demonstrated at EuroBLECH, Germany.

KMT Waterjet Systems is the leading worldwide supplier of waterjet cutting systems and at euroblech 2006 the company will be underlining the quality and high reputation of its Streamline, Active Autoline, Aqualine, Abraline and Feedline branded products. Another major attraction will be the new Streamline SL-V 200 high pressure intensifier which has a power rating of 200HP and also offers economic running costs and reliability, providing maximum waterjet cutting performance. Highly versatile waterjet cutting is acknowledged as offering customers from many different industrial sectors major advantages in terms of accuracy of cut, limited material distortion and almost burr free edges.

Whether cutting metal, plastics, ceramics, exotic and other materials, pure and abrasive waterjet cutting processes are fast, economic and accurate.

In order to achieve an operating pressure of around 4.000 bar, which is commonly required for many applications, advanced pump technology is required.

KMT Waterjet Systems provides this with the Streamline SL-V 200, which gives a powerful water flow and can operate 'around the clock' without interruption.

The major benefit is that the 200HP power rating is achieved by two intensifiers in a standard configuration.

This is a unique combination and the result is not only reduced space in the workshop, but also a minimisation of wear parts resulting in reduced operating costs and maintenance.

The flow rate of one single intensifier is 7.6 litre/min, so that the pump can supply up to 15.2 litre/min at full load.

It is also possible to switch off on intensifier when servicing is required.

A further advantage of the Streamline SL-V 200 is its patented Hard Seal Endcap Design (HSEC).

This design provides a metal-metal seal, eliminates traditional seals thereby reducing consumable costs and downtime.

The bolted end cap is also much easier to assemble at a maximum torque of just 48Nm.

For further economy and flexibility, the Soft Start feature reduces the electric current peaks to a minimum while the pump is accelerating to full speed - this provides up to 20% energy savings in power consumption when the pump is switched on.
