Pump up the pressure for cutting

Hughes Pumps has increased the working pressure of four of its pumps designed for water jetting applications from 1000 to 1400 bar (20,000 psi). The greater water jet velocity produced delivers increasing cutting efficiency with a corresponding reduction in flow-rate that reduces the reaction force to more comfortable levels.

When using UHP for hydro-demolition/ concrete cutting it removes only the concrete so does not damage the rebar underneath; it is said to be faster than conventional methods; and there is no vibration so neither micro cracks nor fractures develop on the remaining concrete structures.
