INTRODUCTION
1.1 Overview
The Streamline SL-V Plus series combines all the unique capabilities and advantages of waterjet
cutting systems with the reliability, ease of operation and service support that have made KMT
Waterjet Systems a leader in waterjet technology.
With 30, 50, 60 and 100 horsepower single and redundant models, the SL-V series accommodates
a wide range of applications. From small, single head requirements to high volume production
requiring multi-head systems; from intricate detailed cutting, to rapid hole drilling; from titanium
to produce, the SL-V series provides the solution.

1.2 Performance Features and Options
The SL-V series is designed with the same convenience and ease of access for maintenance and
service you have come to expect from KMT Waterjet. The hydraulic cylinder head simply bolts
to the hydraulic cylinder; each high pressure assembly can be removed and serviced
independently, and the hydraulic seal cartridge can be quickly replaced as a single unit.
The robust performance and standard features are the result of aggressive development and
decades of experience.
Continuous operation at 60,000 psi (4,137 bar) affords faster cutting speeds, resulting in
lower cost per inch.
The innovative hard seal end cap provides a metal-to-metal seal against the sealing head,
totally, eliminating the potential for leaks.
While dramatically increasing seal life, the unique design of the patented HyperLife
TM
seal conforms to the cylinder bore as it expands under pressure, creating an absolute seal.
The quick release design of the ceramic plunger greatly simplifies removal and
installation.
