Hammelmann Direct Drive Pump

The quality of the German designed and built Hammelmann pump is indisputable. The stainless-steel pump head is free of alternating stress and the crank section calculation by ‘Finite element method’ ensures its long working life under continuous load. The Hammelmann plunger pump converts 93% to 98% of the shaft power to hydraulic energy making it energy efficient. In fact, it is up to 30% more energy efficient than compared to other waterjet systems and has much longer service intervals (up to 2000 hours)

We have put together a comprehensive list of materials our Swift-Jet Pro waterjet can cut, along with some that are not suitable. We understand that there will be many materials not included but that does not mean waterjet will not be suitable, please feel free to contact us to discuss your individual requirements and arrange a sample cut.

Hammelmann
direct drive pump

The quality of the German designed and built Hammelmann pump is indisputable.

Fully enclosed
drag chain
