High Pressure Direct-Drive Pump



OMAX Corporation recently revealed its new 100 HP direct-drive pump with EnduroMAX technology. According to the company, the pump provides increased efficiency, improved reliability and lower operating costs by delivering more jet power at the nozzle, equal to today's 135 HP intensifier designs.

OMAX's 100 HP direct-drive pump features the Inline 6 design, an evolution of the company's EnduroMAX, designed to provide smooth cutting, high reliability and easy modular maintenance. The 100 HP model joins OMAX's line of EnduroMAX pumps, which includes 30 HP, 40 HP and 50 HP models.

"The 100 HP pump with EnduroMAX technology increases efficiency by delivering 30 percent more horsepower to the cutting nozzle, compared with a 100 HP intensifier pump. This increase in jet power creates a more powerful abrasive stream for faster cutting speeds and higher productivity and the improved efficiency results in less wear and tear and maintenance. The pump provides a stable jet stream up to eight times smoother than intensifier pumps, significantly reducing wear on high pressure plumbing and fittings," said a company spokesperson.

According to the company, the 100 HP pump also uses Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) technology that tailors power and water consumption to an application for powerful and precise cutting. With VFD technology, the 100 HP pump has increased power and water efficiency and seamless pressure control, all while eliminating inrush current and reducing maintenance.

"OMAX's direct-drive pumps use less electricity and up to 75 percent less water than intensifier pumps, making them environmentally 'green' and lowering operating costs. In addition, their quiet operation makes for a safer working environment," said the spokesperson.

OMAX Corporation designs and manufactures abrasive waterjet technology in a variety of table sizes and price points at its headquarters in Kent, WA.
