Water Jet Pump Core Technology
The Quantum Electric Servo Pump is a revolutionary concept that incorporates core “direct servo” technology that was first applied by NASA for the Space Shuttle Program by replacing old-fashioned hydraulic cylinders with new, highly compact, efficient, reliable and infinitely controllable Servo Linear Actuators. This same style actuator is used today in many high-end machine tools and presses replacing inefficient hydraulic systems.
The Future in Waterjet Pumping Technology
The Techni Waterjet Quantum water jet pump is a revolutionary concept in waterjet cutting. It incorporates a servo motor directly enveloping a high load, precision ball screw. The ball screw directly houses the ceramic plungers, which reciprocate back and forth to create the pumping action, in much the same way as hydraulic cylinder works on an intensifier waterjet pump.
The infinite control of the servo motor and precision of the ball screw, enable extremely accurate control over the output pressure and volume of the water displaced and eliminates pressure spikes when deadheading. This infinite control gives an operator the ability to program virtually any pressure and flow rate from zero to full capacity, while only the power displaced at the cutting head.
Faster. Quieter. Smarter.
Up to 60% more efficient than standard hydraulic intensifiers
Up to 75% less cooling water than standard hydraulic intensifiers
Due to the elimination of ”dead head” pressure spikes
Up to 50% less sq. ft. than an average hydraulic intensifier and lower
UP TO 60% MORE EFFICIENT THAN HYDRAULIC INTENSIFIERS
UP TO 600% QUIETER THAN HYDRAULIC INTENSIFIERS
UP TO 300% INCREASE IN HP TUBING AND FITTING LIFE, DUE TO SUPERIOR PRESSURE CONTROL
The below graph highlights the increasing efficiency gains achieved with the Quantum as duty cycle decreases
The Quantum® is the most environmentally friendly, has the least effect on global warming, and has the smallest carbon footprint of any waterjet cutting pump available on the market.
The high level of efficiency achieved by the Quantum® dramatically reduces the energy consumed and the water required. For example, a typical company running a single head waterjet cutting machine with the Quantum®, for a single shift for a year, will save approximately 32,000 kW hrs, saving around $6,080/year in electricity charges, and reducing harmful CO2 greenhouse gases by a staggering 20 tons/yr. There are also considerable water consumption savings as a result of the increased efficiency. For the same example, savings of approximately 290,000 gallons/yr can be achieved, resulting in savings of around $3,019/year.
