AUTOMATION

Water under high or ultra-high pressure is obtained using displacement pumps that are powered electrically or by a combustion engine. A plunger pump adds kinetic energy to the water, which can reach speeds of more than Mach 1 at the nozzle via hoses. Operators of this equipment must adhere to strict safety standards to avoid unintended and unexpected contact with high-pressure water. To prevent this, manufacturers like Antecho design automations and robots.
