Closed Loop System - designed for tough industrial use


Standard Features
  • High pressure feed water polishing system, complete with stainless steel bag pre-filter
  • Hurricane cartridge filter vessel
  • Deionizing vessel for TDF control
  • 1 HP (0.7 kW) centrifugal system pump
  • Ozone generator for bacterial control
  • High-pressure feed pump pre-filter
  • Chiller
  • 55 gallon settling weir
  • System includes filter service beacon and D.I. service indicator
There are five main reasons why you should consider a closed loop system for your abrasive waterjet systems:
  1. Reduces water consumption drastically
    usually only 2% to 10% of normal usage.
  2. Drain can be eliminated
    System can be configured so no dissolved solids go to
    drain. All over-flow water can be filtered and reused
  3. Eliminates the requirement for make-up water treatment
    Softeners, reverse osmosis, or DI water systems are no longer needed. The small amount of make-up water needed is treated before it goes to the high-pressure pump.
  4. Maximum orifice life
    Reduces machine maintenance, maximizing machine performance.
  5. Protects your high-pressure pump!
    When properly maintained, the OMAX closed loop system sends the pump manufacturer's desired water quality to the high-pressure pump. The results are reduced pump maintenance and machine tool downtime.




Optional Accessories Why your facility might use a Closed Loop System
    There is no drain in the facility or the machine tool cannot overflow to the drain

    Water and sewage costs are very expensive
    In most places this is not an issue, because water and sewage costs are $.01 - $.02 per gallon or less. However, in some areas, utilities are charging between $.06 and $.08 per gallon. In this case, a closed loop system will pay for itself. The consumables on the closed loop will amount to less than the water/sewage bill.

    Well water quality and septic system capacity are inadequate
    Typically well water is very hard, with hardness and TDS between 300 and 800 PPM. Well water must be treated before it goes to the high-pressure pump, and is normally treated with reverse osmosis systems. (Remember water softeners only reduce hardness, they do nothing for TDS, whereas reverse osmosis systems will treat both.) Most R.O. systems require twice the water to generate the amount needed.

    If your waterjet machine needs 1 gallon per minute to run, then your R.O. system may need 2 gpm (7.5 l/min) to produce the 1 gpm needed for your machine. This amount of water may overwhelm your septic field, especially if water is needed to cool the hydraulics on an intensifier pump.

    Note: A waterjet using 1 gpm (3.8 l/min) running 50 hours per week for 50 weeks per year will use 150,000 gallons (570,000 liters) of water. Using an R.O. system as just described; the yearly total is now 300,000 gallons (1,140,000 liters) of water.
