Overview

The KMT Waterjet Streamline PRO 60 II is a 60 horsepower (45 kW) high-pressure intensifier pump from KMT's PRO generation, delivering up to 60,000 psi (4,137 bar) of cutting pressure with a flow rate of approximately 4.5 liters per minute. The 'II' designation signifies a second-generation refinement of the original PRO 60, incorporating improved cylinder porting, updated seal materials, and enhanced pressure regulation to achieve pressure fluctuations below 0.3% — matching the tolerance of larger PRO platform models while maintaining the compact footprint of the mid-range pump.

The PRO 60 II is positioned as the primary pump solution for single-head production waterjet cutting tables in the 40,000–120,000 USD price segment. Its 60 hp output is sufficient to drive a standard abrasive waterjet cutting head at full speed across virtually all commercially relevant material and thickness combinations — from 50mm stainless steel to 100mm aluminum to 150mm granite. At the same time, the pump remains significantly more affordable to acquire, install, and operate than 100 hp or 125 hp units, making it the most economically efficient choice when a single cutting head is the operational configuration.

KMT's PRO generation introduced a redesigned intensifier cylinder assembly across all horsepower ratings, and the 60 II carries these improvements in a form factor suited for smaller cutting tables and floor spaces. The hydraulic power unit is more compact than previous SL-V and SL-VI 60 hp designs, reducing the overall pump footprint while maintaining full-duty hydraulic performance. The control system includes KMT's integrated diagnostic PLC with operating hour tracking, seal wear indicators, and remote monitoring outputs — capabilities that on the PRO 60 II bring enterprise-class pump management to mid-range installations.

Like all KMT pumps, the PRO 60 II uses industry-standard high-pressure plumbing connections and is compatible with cutting tables from all major manufacturers including Flow, Omax, Bystronic, WardJet, Techni, and Resato. KMT supplies integration packages with plumbing kits and electrical interface documentation for third-party table installations. The pump is built in Baxter Springs, Kansas to ISO 9001 standards and is available in 460V North American and 380V international electrical configurations.

For job shops, fabrication facilities, and production operations running a single cutting head on a mid-size table, the PRO 60 II represents an optimal balance of cutting capability, operating cost, and acquisition investment. Its PRO generation build quality, advanced diagnostics, and tight pressure regulation deliver a level of performance and reliability typically associated with larger, more expensive pump platforms, in a package sized and priced for the single-head production user.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

PRO generation sub-0.3% pressure regulation matches the accuracy of larger 100–125 hp units in a mid-range 60 hp package
Optimized for single-head production cutting with 4.5 L/min flow sufficient for all standard material and thickness combinations
Compact PRO generation hydraulic power unit reduces footprint compared to equivalent SL-V and SL-VI 60 hp designs
Integrated diagnostic PLC with seal wear monitoring and remote access brings enterprise pump management to mid-range installations
Lower acquisition, electrical infrastructure, and operating costs than 100 hp units where single-head operation is the target configuration

Limitations

4.5 L/min flow rate is insufficient to supply two cutting heads simultaneously at full production speed
Water-cooled design requires closed-loop cooling circuit, adding utility and installation requirements
60 hp electrical supply still requires three-phase power infrastructure that may require electrical service upgrades in some facilities

Best For

Single-head production waterjet cutting tables in job shops and fabrication facilities seeking PRO generation performance at mid-range cost Manufacturers cutting a broad range of materials — steel, aluminum, stone, glass, composites — where cutting flexibility is valued over maximum throughput Facilities upgrading from SL-V or SL-VI 50 hp pumps and wanting improved pressure stability and diagnostics without moving to 100 hp infrastructure OEM machine builders specifying a PRO generation pump for mid-range single-head cutting tables in the $80,000–$200,000 system price bracket

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the difference between the PRO 60 and the PRO 60 II?

The PRO 60 II is the second-generation version of the PRO 60, featuring improved intensifier cylinder porting for better flow characteristics, updated high-pressure seal materials with longer service life, and enhanced pressure regulation achieving under 0.3% fluctuation. The PRO 60 II also incorporates the full KMT integrated diagnostic system standard, which was optional on the original PRO 60.

02 Can the PRO 60 II support a second cutting head for occasional dual-head use?

The PRO 60 II can technically supply two cutting heads, but at 4.5 L/min both heads will operate at significantly reduced feed rates. For occasional low-speed dual-head use — such as cutting thin materials at low abrasive flow rates — this is feasible. For production dual-head operation at full cutting speed, a 100 hp or 125 hp pump is required.

03 How does the PRO 60 II compare to the SL-VI 50?

The PRO 60 II adds 10 hp over the SL-VI 50 (60 hp vs. 50 hp), providing approximately 20% more flow at equivalent pressure. It also brings the PRO generation cylinder design with tighter pressure regulation (under 0.3% vs. 0.5%) and a more advanced integrated diagnostic system. For new installations, the PRO 60 II offers better performance and serviceability than the SL-VI 50 at a moderate cost premium.

04 What water quality is required for the PRO 60 II?

KMT recommends inlet water with total dissolved solids below 150 ppm and a hardness below 50 ppm for optimal seal life. A water softener and filtration system upstream of the pump is standard practice in most installations. Using hard or mineral-rich water without treatment will significantly reduce high-pressure seal life and increase cylinder scoring risk over time.

05 What is included in the PRO 60 II integration package for third-party tables?

KMT's integration package includes a high-pressure outlet fitting set, 5-meter HP plumbing hose, electrical interface diagram with control signal descriptions, commissioning checklist, and operator training documentation. KMT's regional service and applications team provides on-site commissioning support for OEM installations and direct customer upgrades.
