Flow HyperPressure 60K Waterjet Pump

The Flow HyperPressure 60K is a 60,000 psi intensifier pump unit designed to power Flow's Mach-series waterjet cutting systems and compatible OEM installations. While Flow's top-tier HyperJet pumps push to 87,000–94,000 psi, the 60K series provides a cost-effective pressure tier that covers the majority of production waterjet cutting applications — thick plate steel, aluminum, composites, stone, and glass — at a lower initial investment and with reduced seal wear compared to ultra-high-pressure configurations.

Flow's intensifier pump design uses a hydraulically driven piston to compress water to operating pressure. The dual-intensifier configuration in the 60K series provides continuous output by alternating cylinders, eliminating the pressure pulsation that can affect cut quality in single-intensifier designs. This steady-state delivery is particularly important when cutting materials that require consistent kerf width, such as titanium for aerospace applications or composite laminates for aerospace and automotive work.

The 60K pump integrates with Flow's iP (intelligent Pump) monitoring platform. Sensors track cylinder pressure, seal condition, hydraulic oil temperature, and operating hours, feeding data to the FlowMaster HMI for predictive maintenance alerts. Shops running the 60K in production environments use iP data to schedule seal replacements before failure, avoiding unplanned downtime during critical production runs.

The HyperPressure 60K is available as a standalone pump unit for integration with new or existing Flow waterjet tables, or as a factory-configured component in new Mach-series machine orders. For shops that already operate Flow machines at lower pressure and want to upgrade throughput without replacing the entire system, the 60K can serve as a bolt-on upgrade path — subject to table and plumbing compatibility review by Flow's engineering team.
