High-pressure Waterblasting with the MagJet X40 Gen 2
Jetstream of Houston, LLP, a leading manufacturer of industrial high-pressure waterblasting equipment, parts and accessories, announces the next generation of the MagJet® X40 waterblasting tool featuring high-speed rotation for cleaning industrial surfaces.
The MagJet® X40 Gen 2 rotates in a 360-degree pattern at 1,500-3,000 rpm, doubling the typical operating speed of the previous model without diminishing the lifespan of the tool. Rated up to 43,500 psi (3,000 bar), the tool can be paired with Jetstream’s standard shotgun or QuadraBlast air gun for high-speed cleaning and surface preparation applications.
“The MagJet has been a reliable and popular tool for industrial cleaning applications. However, customers were looking for higher rotational speeds without sacrificing quality,” said Jordan Koster, product and marketing manager for Jetstream. “We took up the challenge and found the perfect solution when we decided to update the MagJet design. Not only does this generation of the tool allow for higher rpms, it also still provides efficient cleaning at the previous rotational speed, making it a great option for a variety of applications.”
Jetstream’s magnetic braking system controls the tool’s rotational speed. The MagJet’s updated design features magnets on the exterior of the tool and a copper ring on the interior, which dissipates the heat generated by the rotation and allows the tool to revolve at higher speeds without losing the magnetic hold.
The MagJet X40 Gen 2 uses up to four straight-pattern nozzles with a maximum flow rate of 7.0 gpm (26.5 lpm). The tool uses the company’s Sapphire UHPX/UHPXi Series or Synthetic Diamond UHPXD Series nozzles. The new design offers a lifespan between 50 and 75 hours and maintains Jetstream’s commitment to minimizing downtime with a cartridge design that is field changeable in less than five minutes.
Multiple head assemblies with optional kits are available to adjust the rotation speed across a wide range of flow rates for each project. The tool is compatible with waterblasting shotguns using a standard 9/16” HP female inlet connection.
