Demonstration of 90,000 psi water jet at show

11 April 2011

Jet Edge, Inc plans to demonstrate its 90,000 psi water jet cutting technology at the EASTEC 2011 Advanced Productivity Exposition, which takes place from May 17-19 in West Springfield, US.

The company’s 50hp xP90-50 and 100hp xP90-100 X-Stream waterjet intensifier pumps are capable of producing 90,000 psi and support 75,000 psi continuous operating pressure. The X-Stream achieves much faster cutting speeds and drastically lowers operating costs compared to traditional 60,000 psi pumps, enabling users to increase productivity and reduce part costs.

The X-Stream produces 50% more pressure than a 60,000 psi intensifier pump, resulting in a 40-50% increase in productivity for many materials. Compared to a 60,000 psi pump, typical operating pressures of 75,000 psi use 30% less water, 30% less power, and up to 50% less abrasive, resulting in a 40% reduction in operating costs. The xP90-50 is capable of producing flow rates of 0.7 gpm and supports up to a .011 in orifice. The xP90-100 is capable of producing flow rates of 1.45 gpm and supports up to a .017 in orifice. Fittings and tubing are rated for 100 KSI.
