Jetstream Announces New Waterblasting Tools and Pumps
Published: 27/9
Industrial waterblasting specialist Jetstream of Houston recently introduced the next generation of the MagJet® X40 tool, featuring high-speed rotation for cleaning industrial surfaces. The MagJet® X40 Gen 2 rotates in a 360-degree pattern at 1,500-3,000 rpm, doubling the typical operating speed of the previous model without diminishing the lifespan of the tool. Rated up to 43,500 psi (3,000 bar), the tool can be paired with Jetstream’s standard shotgun or QuadraBlast air gun for high-speed cleaning and surface preparation applications.
The MagJet X40 Gen 2 uses up to four straight-pattern nozzles with a maximum flow rate of 7.0 gpm (26.5 lpm), and can be used with Jetstream’s Sapphire UHPX/UHPXi Series or Synthetic Diamond UHPXD Series nozzles. New exterior magnets and a copper ring on the interior combine to dissipate heat generated by the rotation and allows the tool to revolve at higher speeds without losing the magnetic hold. Jetstream also has introduced a new a new 40,000-psi model of its 4-in (101.6mm) J-Force™ pipe cleaning tool. Designed for durability, this self-powered rotating nozzle uses seven jets to clean and clear scale, hard carbon and polymer, sludge or other blockages in industrial pipes with 90-degree bends.
The newest model can operate from 23,000-40,000 psi (1,500-3,000 bar), which delivers a powerful punch in removing buildup. Additionally, Jetstream offers four size options to clean tubes ranging from 2 to 6 in (5.08 to 15.24 cm) at up to 22,000 psi (1,517 bar).
Pumps with power
Jetstream also recently made a number of announcements regarding its seven-series UNx™ Bareshaft pump line. Recently released globally, the new 2000 Series was developed as a compact option for industrial applications and offers minimal maintenance and maximum efficiency for jobs ranging from rig washing, petrochemical cleaning, hydrostatic testing, chemical injection, food processing and more. The flexibility in pressures achievable with the 2000 Series UNx technology brings a versatility to the market that was previously missing in other pumps of comparable size. Compatible with up to 75-hp (55kW) engines, the pump boasts flow capabilities of 6,000 to 15,000 psi (414 to 1,034 bar) and up to 20 gpm (75 lpm). Its triplex plunger design consists of three crankshaft-propelled plungers, offering powerful and smooth operation on the most demanding duty cycles.
Jetstream’s 3000 Series pump can now handle power inputs of up to 200 hp (149 kW). To correspond with the boost in horsepower, Jetstream also developed larger plunger sizes for the triplex model, which is now able to achieve a flow rate of 7.6 gpm (28.8 lpm) at 40,000 psi (2,758 bar). This offers contractors greater power for a more diverse range of industrial cleaning and surface preparation jobs, and an ideal flow rate for single-operator setups. Jetstream offers the 3000 Series pump as a standalone product, paired with an electric motor mounted on a skid or integrated into its X-Series waterblasting unit lineup for a complete system including a diesel engine.
For big water applications, Jetstream’s 5200Q Series is designed to pair with engines up to 700 hp (522 kW), providing a maximum flow capability of 25.6 gpm (97 lpm) at 40,000 psi (2,758 bar). One of the key advantages of the 5200Q pump is the quintuplex design for reduced pulsation and vibration. With five plungers, pressure spikes are lower, allowing for a more consistent, smoother pressure profile compared to a standard three plunger design. The 5200Q comes with interchangeable UNx fluid end technology, which allows converting from 8,000 to 40,000 psi (552 to 2,758 bar) in minutes. This provides flexibility to complete all functions on a jobsite and run a full variety of tools with a single unit.
