EnduroMax Pump

May 01, 2011

OMAX Corp. says its EnduroMAX pump provides double the operating life of previous pumps, and allows faster part processing, lower operating costs and easier maintenance.

The EnduroMAX pump maximizes machine uptime with its 1,000-hour operating range between required pump rebuilds when run at 55,000 psi (3,800 bar). However, the new pump can also effortlessly run continuously at 60,000 psi (4,100 bar). OMAX achieved increased pump operating life by significantly upgrading the design of the seals in the EnduroMAX. Seals are the elements of a pump that wear out the quickest, forcing shops to rebuild pumps more frequently. By improving the design of the seals, the pump's operating life increases and maintenance time is reduced.

OMAX built the EnduroMAX pump to run much more efficiently as compared with intensifier pump designs. The pump operates at 85 percent efficiency, as opposed to the 60 percent to 70 percent range of intensifier pumps. The EnduroMAX also delivers more horsepower to the nozzle, while using less electricity than intensifier pumps.

The combination of 60,000 psi operation and 85 percent efficiency allows OMAX machines using the EnduroMAX pump to process parts faster. All models of the EnduroMAX pumps deliver 60,000 psi and are offered in various horsepower ratings. The available models are the 3060 (30 hp), 4060 (40 hp), and 5060 (50 hp).
