Overview
The Resato P-1150 is a high-pressure waterjet intensifier pump rated for 1,150 bar (approximately 16,700 psi) maximum operating pressure, representing Resato's ultra-high-pressure approach to waterjet cutting power generation. Based in Assen, Netherlands, Resato International is known for engineering high-pressure hydraulic and waterjet systems for demanding industrial applications including aerospace processing, automotive testing, and precision material cutting. The P-1150 is positioned at the top of Resato's P-series pump line, serving cutting systems and testing applications where conventional 6,000–6,200 bar (87,000–90,000 psi) cutting pressure is insufficient or where a specific ultra-high-pressure process window is required.
Resato's P-series intensifiers use a dual-acting cylinder design that drives both stroke directions under hydraulic power, improving flow consistency and reducing pressure ripple compared to single-acting designs. The P-1150's intensification ratio is configured to generate 1,150 bar from a hydraulic drive circuit operating at relatively modest pressures, keeping the low-pressure hydraulic system within standard commercial component ratings while achieving the ultra-high-pressure output. This approach reflects Resato's broader engineering philosophy of maximizing system reliability by keeping each subsystem within well-established operating parameters.
The P-1150 is engineered for integration into Resato's own cutting tables as well as OEM and custom installations. Resato supplies the pump as a standalone unit with comprehensive interface documentation or as part of a complete cutting system. The pump's hydraulic and electrical connections follow Resato's standardized P-series integration interface, enabling modular system configurations with multiple pump units for redundancy or increased flow capacity. High-pressure output fittings conform to industry-standard HP plumbing specifications for compatibility with a range of cutting heads, mixing tubes, and nozzle systems.
The P-1150's control system integrates with Resato's proprietary machine control platform and is also compatible with third-party CNC controllers via standard I/O interfaces. Safety systems include automatic pressure relief, high-pressure hose failure detection, and sequential startup and shutdown procedures controlled by the PLC. The pump enclosure is designed for industrial floor installation with forklift access points and vibration-isolated mounting to minimize the transmission of pump pulsation to the cutting table structure.
For industrial users requiring cutting pressures in the 1,000–1,200 bar range — whether for specialized aerospace alloy cutting, advanced composite processing, or ultra-precision glass and ceramic cutting where higher pressure enables faster feed rates and cleaner edges — the P-1150 represents a robust and well-supported pump solution from a manufacturer with deep engineering roots in high-pressure hydraulics. Resato's European manufacturing base and global distributor network provide strong spare parts support and service access for installed systems.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Dual-acting cylinder design improves flow consistency and reduces pressure ripple versus single-acting intensifiers at equivalent output
- 1,150 bar ultra-high-pressure capability enables faster feed rates and cleaner edges on advanced aerospace alloys and composites
- Modular P-series integration interface allows multi-pump configurations for redundancy or increased total flow capacity
- Engineered by a specialist high-pressure hydraulics manufacturer with deep expertise beyond standard waterjet pump applications
- Comprehensive safety systems including automatic relief and hose failure detection for industrial floor installation confidence
Limitations
- 1,150 bar maximum pressure is below the 4,100–4,300 bar range of leading ultra-high-pressure KMT and Flow pump platforms
- Specialized high-pressure system requires trained maintenance personnel familiar with Resato's hydraulic architecture
- European manufacturing base may extend lead times and spare parts logistics for facilities in North America or Asia-Pacific

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Resato's P-series pumps use a configurable intensification ratio matched to the target output pressure. For the P-1150's 1,150 bar output, the intensification ratio is typically in the 15:1 to 18:1 range, allowing the hydraulic drive system to operate within standard commercial component pressure ratings while achieving the ultra-high-pressure output at the intensifier outlet.
02
The P-1150 is designed for use with cutting heads and orifice assemblies rated for its operating pressure. Standard 60,000 psi (4,137 bar) cutting heads and nozzles are not rated for the P-1150's higher pressure output. Resato supplies or recommends compatible cutting head assemblies specified for the P-series pressure range.
03
The P-1150 is rated for 1,150 bar versus the P-800's 800 bar maximum operating pressure. The P-1150 provides approximately 44% higher pressure capability, enabling faster feed rates and better cut quality on hard, thick materials. Both share the same dual-acting cylinder architecture and P-series integration interface but differ in intensifier sizing, hydraulic drive capacity, and output fitting specifications.
04
Resato recommends intensifier seal inspection and replacement at 500–800 operating hours, with intervals depending on water quality and operating duty. Hydraulic oil condition should be checked every 500 hours with full oil changes at 2,000-hour intervals. High-pressure valve and fitting inspection should occur at each seal replacement service. Resato provides a detailed maintenance schedule with all pump deliveries.
05
Yes. Resato integrates the P-1150 into complete cutting systems including their R-JCM and R-LCM series cutting tables. The pump can also be supplied as a standalone unit with integration documentation for OEM machine builders or custom system integrators. Resato's applications engineering team supports both complete system and standalone pump projects.
