Jetstream of Houston has rounded out its UNx water pump lineup with the release of a new compact 2000 Series Bareshaft pump, designed with efficiency in mind for low-horsepower waterblasting operations including hydroexcavation jobs.
“Our customers love our pumps because of their easy maintenance and ability to maximize uptime on the job,” says Jordan Koster, product and marketing manager for Jetstream.
A central part of that efficiency comes from its design, which includes three crankshaft-propelled plungers allowing for smooth operation and efficiency on the job site.
Pressure outputs ranging from 6,000 to 15,000 psi and compatibility with 75 hp engines make the 2000 Series the smallest pump in Jetstream’s arsenal, yet it retains all the core features Jetstream is known for, from versatility to efficiency to ease of repair.
“The thing we kept hearing was that our customers wanted to have those benefits in a smaller pump for lower-horsepower applications,” Koster says. “Operators can quickly and easily convert between pressures in the field, making it ideal for crews that take on a range of waterblasting jobs that require different flow rates.”
Repairs are doable in the field too, thanks to a design approach that allows easy swap-outs of the pump’s packing, univalves and plungers in under five minutes, according to the maker.
“Operators are able to complete any repairs in the field with just a few parts and ordinary hand tools,” Koster says. “Our UNx fluid ends don’t require difficult service procedures, don’t contain small, easy-to-lose parts and don’t require specific torque to assemble.”
While Jetstream specializes in waterblasting equipment, the efficiency features of the 2000 pump make it a good fit for industries that require oilfield inspection services and hydroexcavation.
“It can achieve a flow rate of up to 20 gallons per minute at up to 6,000 psi, offering the ability for multiple operators to run hydroexcavation jobs at the same time,” Koster says. “This, combined with its ease of maintenance for maximum uptime, offers a high level of efficiency for hydroexcavation services.”
Jetstream began offering the standalone 2000 Series UNx Bareshaft pump last summer, and it is now available integrated with the X-Series diesel waterblasting unit. Between test markets and a January showing at the WWETT Show, Koster says the pump has been well received.
“This pump opened doors to new applications that require less power than what our other pumps operate with, and it’s been a lot of fun to hear about how our customers have been using it,” he says. 800-231-8192; www.waterblast.com
