Waterjet Intensifier Pump

Introduction

Intensifier pumps use a hydraulic cylinder to amplify low-pressure hydraulic oil pressure into ultra-high water pressure. The pressure ratio is typically 20:1 or higher — meaning 210-bar hydraulic oil becomes 4,200-bar water. This makes intensifier pumps the preferred choice for cutting thick materials and for applications requiring sustained ultra-high pressure over long production runs.

Intensifier vs. Direct-Drive — Which to Choose?

Key Features

• Dual intensifier cylinders – alternating strokes maintain near-continuous high-pressure water output, minimising pressure fluctuation.
• Accumulator vessel – absorbs pulsation between strokes for smoother cutting and longer orifice life.
• Proportional hydraulic control – electronic pressure regulation allows precise setpoint control from the CNC program.
• Auto-replenishing hydraulic oil circuit – closed-loop oil system with temperature control — no external oil supply needed.
• High-pressure filter system – 5-micron polishing filters on the HP water circuit protect the orifice and check valves.
• Remote diagnostics – pressure, temperature, and cycle-count data accessible via USB or Ethernet for predictive maintenance.
