Product catalog summary
Overview
The KMT AQUALINE® PRO is designed for pure water cutting applications, which are highly demanding in terms of reliability and speed. It operates at extreme pressures of up to 90,000 psi, making it suitable for industries such as automotive, aerospace, and food processing.

Key Features
  • Durability: Enhanced stem and seal design for longer life and reliability.
  • Minimal Maintenance: Designed for more on/off cycles than standard valves, with easy seal replacement in under 5 minutes.
  • Fast Reaction: Quick movement between cutting locations increases production efficiency.
  • Reliability: Equipped with six stainless steel springs for improved reliability.
  • Flexibility: Compact design allows for close stacking of cutting heads and adaptability to multiple cutting valves.

Valve Styles
  • Normally Open Valve: Requires air pressure to close; automatically opens if air pressure is lost.
  • Normally Closed Valve: Requires air pressure to open; retains water pressure if air pressure is lost.

Cycle Times
At 50,000 PSI, the cycle times for the valves are:
  • Normally Closed (NC): Open - 48 ms, Close - 160 ms
  • Normally Open (NO): Open - 48 ms, Close - 115 ms

Applications
The AQUALINE® PRO is suitable for high-speed cutting in various applications, including automotive, aerospace, plastic, composite paneling, gaskets, foams, and food.

Additional Information
The system is part of a leading cutting system that includes AUTOLINE™ cutting nozzles, focusing tubes, and orifices. It is available in lengths from 4” to 15” and also in a 60,000 psi version.

AQUALINE® PRO 90,000psi VALVES-1

KMT Pure Water Cutting PROVEN PERFORMANCE AT EXTREME PRESSURES Pure water cutting applications are among the most demanding of subcontracting jobs in the industry. Demands put on waterjet components and some industry production units usually run 3 x 8-hour shifts throughout the complete week highlighting a need for extremely high reliability and speed. Any production stop is equivalent to expensive delays and shutdowns of processes further down the production flow stream. The KMT AQUALINE® PRO, teamed up with the STREAMLINE PRO® pump, will substantially increase cutting speeds while retaining durability and precision during these long production runs. Wide Range of Applications Pure water cutting applications usually work with significantly higher cutting speeds compared to those of abrasive cutting. The typical applications of this nature are found in the Automotive and Aerospace Industries, as well as miscellaneous plastic and composite paneling. Gaskets, foams and food are also sizeable application areas for pure waterjets. Reliability Under Extreme Conditions Our Aqualine ® PRO pure water pneumatic valve has gained an industry-wide reputation for being among the quickest and the most reliable pure water cutting heads under extreme working conditions. The heads have the fastest reaction times while maintaining long component lifetimes with high quality. Back-up Solutions The compact design allows it to be adapted to multiple cutting valves on a 1- or 2-D cutting machine to increase production throughput. The compactness also creates the possibility of installing a second set of cutting heads as a backup or redundant solution. In practice, more than 12 cutting heads have been hooked up to a single cutting system. Also available in 60,000psi Pressure Ease of Maintenance Leak holes protect the nozzle body, nozzle tube and nozzle nut from damages and indicate clearly which connection has to be tightened or which seal has to be replaced. The unique design allows for replacing the seal in under 5 minutes
