High-pressure systems are indispensable components in modern industry and are used in a wide range of applications. These systems generate high pressures to handle demanding tasks in cleaning, metal processing and many other areas. They use high-pressure pumps to apply high pressure to fluids, which increases their efficiency and performance in various industrial processes. They are therefore the optimal solution for applications that require precise and powerful tools.
High-pressure systems from KAMAT: maximum performance for industrial applications
A high-pressure system consists, among other things, of a pump that raises liquids such as water or chemicals to pressures of several hundred to thousands of bar. These systems are crucial for processes where conventional pumps are not sufficient.
Areas of use and applications
High-pressure systems are used in numerous industries, including
- Cleaning: Removing persistent dirt and coatings.
- Metalworking: Precise cutting and shaping processes as well as descaling and deburring.
- Mining: Extraction of raw materials and material transportation.
With KAMAT high-pressure systems, companies are ideally equipped to master demanding industrial challenges. In addition, we offer the entire technology including automation technology, drive technology with e.g. frequency converters and our own software to ensure customized and efficient solutions for specific requirements.
Components of a high-pressure system
A high-pressure system, which is used synonymously with pump units, consists of various essential components that work together to ensure optimum performance and efficiency:
Electric motor or diesel engine
The drive motor powers the pump and can be connected via a belt drive up to 45kW, direct coupling or clutch. Electric motors are widely used, while mobile systems are often powered by diesel engines. KAMAT pumps use an internal gearbox to reduce the drive speed to the required pump speed, eliminating the need for external gearboxes.
Plunger pump
The high-pressure plunger pump is the heart of the system and raises the liquid to the required pressure level. There are different types of high-pressure pumps, such as plunger pumps, piston pumps and diaphragm pumps, all of which displace liquid and build up pressure against flow resistors or downstream consumers such as nozzles. KAMAT specializes in the manufacture of plunger pumps as they produce pressure much more reliably than other technologies.
Hoses, fittings and pipes
These components transport the water from the pump to its destination, for example to a nozzle or other tool. Hoses and fittings must be robust and durable to withstand the high pressure.
Valves and pressure relief devices
These regulate the flow of fluid and protect the system from overpressure. Pressure relief valves open automatically to release excess pressure when the system reaches a critical pressure level.
PLC control
This controls the high pressure system, including starting and stopping the pump, pressure settings and monitoring system performance. The control panel includes switches, pressure gauges, indicators and an emergency stop switch.
Pulsation damper at the outlet
The pulsation damper harmonizes the discontinuous flow of the pump to minimize wear on downstream components.
Sound enclosure
An enclosure can dampen ambient noise and regulate the internal temperature of the unit. Heating or cooling systems stabilize the temperature of the system even in extreme environments.
Suction flow stabilizer
A suction stabilizer stabilizes the flow into the pump, eliminating acceleration losses and preventing cavitation.
Tank or water source
The system requires a fluid source, which can be a tank, reservoir or public water supply.
