Flow Intl. Introduces

Ultrahigh-Pressure Waterjet

Cleaning System

Flow International Corp. intro- duced the Husky, a direct-drive ul- trahigh-pressure pump reportedly offering great efficiency in indus- trial waterjet cutting and cleaning applications. Driven by a Caterpil- lar diesel engine, the Husky deliv- ers continuous operating pressure of 40,000 psi at flow rates up to 6.5 gpm. Equipped with three high pressure water outlets, the Husky is ideal for simultaneous operation of one, two or three hand tools, ac- cording to the manufacturer. It is also suitable for field abrasive waterjet cutting requirements, as well as high-flow single-tool robotic applications. The Husky incorpo- rates a closed-loop cooling system, which cools the pump and ancillary equipment without the need for ad- ditional cooling water.

Flow Intl.also introduced the A- 3000 Ultralight, a lightweight handheld ultrahigh-pressure clean- ing tool. At 11 pounds, the A-3000

Ultralight weighs one-third less than Flow's other hand-tools. Pos- sible applications for the unit in- clude: removing paint, rust and cor- rosion from offshore oil platforms; stripping materials from the inside of storage tanks; and numerous other applications which require coating removal or surface prepara- tion.
