Recirculation System
The recirculation system is a cooling and filtration system that provides properly conditioned oil
to the main hydraulic system. Major system components include the recirculation pump, heat
exchanger, oil filter assembly and the hydraulic oil reservoir.
Hydraulic System
The hydraulic system supplies the intensifier with the hydraulic oil required to produce high
pressure water. Major system components include the electric motor, hydraulic pump, and the 4-
way directional control valve mounted on the hydraulic manifold.
High Pressure Water System
The high pressure water system is the heart of the waterjet system. Water is pressurized and
continuously delivered to the cutting head. As water passes through a tiny hole in the orifice,
water pressure is converted to water velocity capable of cutting most any material.
The major components include the high pressure cylinder assemblies, hydraulic cylinder
assembly, hydraulic piston, attenuator and the optional safety dump valve.
