Waterjet Pumps: Direct Drive vs. Intensifier We’re breaking down the benefits of each:   Direct Drive Pumps: Electrically efficient Compact in size Less expensive No additional cooling water needed   Intensifiers: Improved maintenance intervals Better suited to applications with many on/off cycles Faster, simpler rebuilds Fewer failures and downtime Pressures up to 94,000 PSI #FlowWaterjet #WaterjetCutting #WaterjetPumps #Waterjet

Water was first recognized as a "soft" tool when rivers carved their way through the ground. By the 19th century, higher velocity streams were being used for washing out and carrying ore from harder formations like coal. As technology advances, we can use higher pressures to achieve higher velocity jets. Water and relatively softer abrasives can penetrate harder materials due to shear rate of impact, or velocity, like how a straw can penetrate a tree in a hurricane.

Downtime can put a major wrench in your operations, no pun intended. It’s important to be prepared in the event of downtime. We advise having plenty of spare parts and performing regular maintenance and upkeep on your system. Stock up on your spares on FlowParts.com! #FlowWaterjet #WaterjetCutting #PreventativeMaintenance

In the market for new equipment? Now’s the time to evaluate your business and determine the best option to maximize your Return on Investment (ROI.) Before you invest, you’ll need a realistic view of the problem and how a solution would work for you. Ask yourself: - What is the problem we’re trying to solve? - What area of our operations are we trying to improve? - Are there other areas that we can improve upon at the same time? - Can we expand our capabilities or our market share with our purchase? - Do we have processes in place to accurately measure our ROI after our purchase? Stay tuned for more on equipment investment and return on investment! #FlowWaterjet #WaterjetCutting #Waterjet #ROI #MachineTool #CuttingEquipment

Why is a diamond orifice the most common choice? Diamond orifices are the most durable. And because of their durability, you won’t need to take apart the cutting head to replace as often as you might with other orifice types. While it’s not as significant with all machines, it is important to use diamond orifices with both the Pivot+™ and Dynamic Waterjet® XD as they are more complex to work on. #FlowWaterjet #WaterjetCutting #FlowFAQ
