High pressure water jet operated apparatus

High pressure water jet operated apparatus (2)

In close co-operation with the University of Hannover, Germany, the company KEG GmbH has developed a system for abrasive waterjet cutting in non-accessible sewers. This system is able to remove obstacles that are impeding the flow in the pipe (e.g. protruding pipe connections, bricks, steel rods) and/or hose liners. This is achieved using relatively low pressures of only 100 – 120 bar (10,000 kPa, 1,450 psi to 12,000 kPa; 1,740 psi) [FI-KEG]
