Jet Edge, Inc. has released a brochure highlighting its precision waterjet pumps. Featuring Jet Edge's 90KSI X-Stream and 60KSI Dominator Series hydraulic intensifier pumps and Eco-Jet direct drive pumps, the brochure provides an overview of Jet Edge's ultra-high pressure pump technology for precision waterjet cutting, as well as a side-by-side comparison of the two pump styles.
Hydraulic Intensifier Pumps
Jet Edge's Dominator and X-Stream Series hydraulic intensifier pumps are available in sizes from 30-200 HP and are capable of producing pressures from 60,000-90,000 PSI and flow rates of 0.6-4 gpm for waterjet cutting and surface preparation applications. "The pumps feature a tie-rod design that eliminates threads on the high-pressure cylinders, end caps and hydraulic cylinders, reducing the likelihood of cracking and increasing component life," said a company spokesperson. "Matched-metal components prevent galling of hydraulic components. Jet Edge intensifier pumps also feature patented Metal-on-Metal seal technology that cuts in half the number of seals needing to be replaced."
Hydraulic accumulators are standard on all Jet Edge waterjet intensifier pumps. This is designed to provide smoother hydraulic pressure, reduce spikes and prolong hydraulic pump life. Hydraulic fluid is cooled and filtered, and a hydraulic center section incorporates high-duty cycle-rated piston seal and wear rings. Jet Edge's hydraulic systems have a 4,000-hour warranty. Jet Edge waterjet pumps also feature CE-marked attenuators that smooth pressure fluctuations and deliver a constant and steady stream of ultra-high pressure water to the cutting tool for improved cut quality.
Eco-Jet Direct Drive Pumps
Jet Edge's Eco-Jet direct drive positive displacement waterjet pump produces 55,000 PSI (3,800 bar) ultra-high pressure water for precision waterjet cutting and surface preparation applications, and supports a .015" (.38 mm) orifice. Eco-Jet pumps feature independent attenuators that smooth pressure fluctuations, increasing cutting speeds and extending component life, according to the company.
The Eco-Jet is available in three configurations: standard, PTO and TACH. The standard Eco-JET features a 30 HP (22 kW) electric motor that, according to the company, uses up to 50% less electricity than a 50 HP hydraulic intensifier pump, but produces the same output. The Eco-Jet PTO utilizes a tractor PTO shaft to drive the plunger pump rather than an electric motor. The Eco-Jet PTO is available for 540 RPM and 1,000 RPM PTO shafts and Category 1 and 2 three point hitches (tractor sold separately). The Eco-Jet TACH uses a tractor or skid steer's hydraulic circuit to drive the plunger pump rather than an electric motor. It is available for hydraulic circuit units capable of producing a minimum of 50 HP. Maximum pressure is dependent on the tractor's hydraulic fluid flow and pressure. "The Eco-Jet PTO and Eco-Jet TACH require only a standard 120 V 60 Hz power source and fresh water source, making them practical for rural machine shops and shops with a limited power supply," said the spokesperson.
