Cutting with ease
Many jobs are carried out using a hand held jetting gun. In these circumstances the reaction force created by the water jet should not exceed 250 Newton’s (25kgf) to ensure the operator can work in a safe manner e.g. 35lpm at 1400bar.
Higher flowrate increases reaction force so the cutting nozzle needs to be constrained. At 120lpm at 1000bar it is common to use a gimbal device to connect the jetting gun to. For maximum productivity the HPS5000 pump with a performance of 200lpm at 1000bar is coupled to a hydrodemolition robot.

Benefits of Water Jetting
- Leaves a sound surface ready for repair
- Good quality concrete is unaffected
- No micro cracks which pneumatic hammers cause
- Vibration to the surrounding structure eliminated
- Faster than any other process
- Steel reinforcing bars do not get damaged but are blasted by the water jet & concrete particles to descale them
- Depth of cut is controllable
- Robots keep the operator away from the water jet
- Robots are programmable to provide accurate, consistent results
- Can be used to clean & roughen (scabble) concrete surfaces
- The pump is versatile & can be used for other cleaning & cutting applications
