FLOW MACH III Lines Breaking continuous
Permalink  
 


We purchased a brand new Flow Mach III / 85000 psi machine with a dynamic head. This machine goes through a full set of high pressure lines every 400-500 hours? Does any one else have this issue? Is this typical with these machines? We figured buying a new machine you might get a year out of it without something breaking, We have not yet been able to run 40 hours without something breaking. It is still under warrantee but of course these are not covered. Does anyone know where we can get thicker lines 75% of the time they blow on a corner like it stretches the material and weakens it.

Hi there.  I am sorry to hear of the challenges you are experiencing with your waterjet. 

Please contact Carlos in Flow's Tech Services group at (253) 813-3318.  He is intimately familiar with the pump calibration & wiring issue that can lead to premature HP tubing failures.
