Called Neoline, the CE marked unit is incorporated into machines built by waterjet cutting and profiling system OEMs and costs just two thirds the price of a 50hp unit. It is supplied with or without an electrical panel and booster, making it suitable for both new and experienced machine builders.
The pump's power positions it in the medium range, allowing it to supply one waterjet nozzle of up to 0.3mm diameter or two 0.23mm nozzles. It is ideally suited to single head cutting of metals, where a 30hp pump could struggle and a 50hp unit might be unnecessarily powerful. It is also suitable for processing softer materials on a twin head machine. The waterjet can be either pure or contain garnet abrasive.
Economies of scale in production have allowed the high performance to price ratio to be achieved. To this end, the company has invested heavily in new plant and processes to maximise production efficiency at its Baxter Springs factory in Kansas.
The stainless steel topworks of Neoline is of the same quality as that on higher specification KMT pumps. A one litre accumulator maintains output pressure from the intensifier to ensure smooth flow of water to the nozzle, leading to a high quality of cut and promoting longevity of machine parts.
Included in the package are a heat exchanger to cool the hydraulic oil and water, and a safety dump valve on the pump to relieve system pressure in the case of shutdown. A modular design allows quick and easy maintenance as well as rapid replacement of individual worn parts when the need arises.
