A highly concentrated water jet is ideal for cutting through materials cleanly and safely. For materials that are difficult to cut, abrasive agents are added to the water jet in a cutting injector. Firstly, a high-pressure water nozzle creates a water jet inside the assembly. This pressurized water jet travels through the mixing chamber into a focusing nozzle made from hard metal. This creates a vacuum in the mixing chamber, meaning air and abrasive particles are sucked in through a feed pipe on the side. In the mixing chamber, the high-pressure water jet accelerates the abrasive agent and transports it through the focusing nozzle.
The optimal use of available resources not only protects the environment, it is also a deciding factor for economic success. Fast-switching high pressure pumps from Hammelmann impress with their outstanding implementation of available energy and maximum reliability in daily operation.
Mobile waterjet cutting combines the proven advantages of Hammelmann cutting systems and unique flexibility in one system. Configure your product with operating pressures up to 58k psi [4000 bar], volume flows up to 10 gpm [40 l/min] and many accessories such as guide rails, carriages or feed units.

Hammelmann high-pressure pumps are particularly economical in terms of the energy used. When operating these high-pressure systems, there is the possibility of using only the exact motor power that is required for the current cutting process. Moreover, significant energy savings can be achieved as a result of the high mechanical and volumetric efficiency of the cutting pump.
Water jet cutting systems often use hydraulically operated pressure converters. When controlling and providing the required power, only around 60 % of the energy taken is actually converted into direct cutting power. This represents an enormous loss of energy.
The directly driven Hammelmann plunger pumps feature up to 30 % higher efficiency compared to pressure intensifiers with load sensing systems.

Operating pressure:
22k - 58k psi
[1500 - 4000 bar]
Flow rate:
3 - 10 gpm
[10 - 40 l/min]
Applications:
Cutting concrete, cutting through steel structures, applications on the cutting table, e.g for cutting sheet metal, glass and tiles
To make horizontal cuts, the guide chain is attached to a 6.5 ft. [2 m] guide rail.
The carrier trolley speed is manually controlled by a pneumatic system. The cutting speed and positioning speed can be selected individually and are controlled separately.
The abrasive cutting head is mounted on a pneumatically driven carrier trolley that runs on a tensioned guide chain. A constant feed can be achieved in this way.
