Overview
The Resato Q300 is a high-pressure intensifier pump system engineered to serve as the powerhouse behind industrial waterjet cutting operations. Rated at 4,150 bar (60,000 psi) and delivering 300 MPa continuous working pressure, the Q300 is designed for demanding production environments where consistent high-pressure output and minimal downtime are non-negotiable.
At the core of the Q300 is Resato's dual-intensifier reciprocating pump design, which maintains continuous flow by alternating between two hydraulic cylinders. This eliminates the pressure pulsation common in single-intensifier designs, resulting in smoother cutting streams, better surface finish, and extended wear life on cutting heads and plumbing components. The system's high-pressure cylinder is constructed from fatigue-resistant materials proven in oil-and-gas high-pressure applications.
Resato designed the Q300 with serviceability as a priority. All wear components — seals, check valves, and high-pressure cylinder liners — are accessible without removing the pump from its installation position. An integrated diagnostic display provides real-time pressure, flow rate, cycle counts, and seal wear indicators, enabling planned maintenance rather than reactive repair. The Q300 can operate in standalone mode or be networked into a multi-pump array for high-volume production cells requiring multiple cutting heads.
The Q300 is used globally in aerospace component cutting, defense manufacturing, and heavy industrial fabrication. It is compatible with Resato's full range of cutting tables and can also be integrated with third-party cutting systems that accept 60,000 psi input pressure.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Dual-intensifier design eliminates pressure pulsation for superior cut quality
- All wear parts accessible in-place — reduces scheduled maintenance downtime
- Real-time diagnostics enable predictive maintenance and reduce unplanned failures
- Compatible with third-party cutting tables in addition to Resato systems
Limitations
- Standalone pump cost does not include cutting table — total system investment is substantially higher
- 60,000 psi plumbing and seals require specialist knowledge for safe installation
- Higher upfront cost compared to direct-drive pump alternatives at lower pressures

Frequently Asked Questions
01
An intensifier pump uses hydraulic pressure multiplied through a piston ratio to achieve ultra-high pressures (up to 60,000 psi), making it suitable for the thickest and hardest materials. Direct-drive pumps operate at lower pressures (typically up to 40,000 psi) but have simpler maintenance. The Q300's intensifier design is preferred for premium cut quality and heavy material applications.
02
Yes. The Q300 high-flow variant can support dual cutting heads running simultaneously, provided total flow demand does not exceed the pump's rated output. Resato's system configurators can advise on optimal head sizing and orifice combinations for multi-head setups.
03
Seal life varies with operating pressure and duty cycle, but under typical production conditions the high-pressure seals require replacement approximately every 500–800 operating hours. The Q300's diagnostic system tracks cycle counts and alerts operators when seal replacement is approaching, allowing planned maintenance during scheduled downtime.
