1. Material
The plunger is typically made from a high-strength material. Tool steel is a common material for plungers because of its high strength and durability.
Ceramic plungers may also be used for their exceptional wear resistance and long service life.
2. Design
The plunger is typically a cylindrical rod with a piston on one end and a seal on the other end.
As the intensifier pump is activated, the piston moves back and forth within the intensifier, creating the high-pressure water flow needed for waterjet cutting. The seal at the end of the plunger prevents water from leaking out of the system.
The surface finish of the plunger is also important to ensure smooth and consistent movement within the intensifier.
3. Wear and replacement
Over time, the plunger may wear or become damaged due to the high-pressure water flow and repetitive motion. When this occurs, the plunger must be replaced promptly to ensure safe and reliable operation of the waterjet system.
The frequency of replacement will depend on factors such as the operating conditions, the type of material being cut, and our manufacturer’s recommendations.
4. Maintenance
Proper maintenance and inspection of the plunger is essential to ensure safe and reliable operation of the waterjet system.
This may include regular inspection of the plunger for wear or damage, cleaning or flushing the plunger to remove debris, and following our manufacturer’s recommendations for installation and maintenance.
5. Cost considerations
The cost of a replacement plunger varies depending on the material. Ceramic plungers are generally more expensive than tool steel plungers, but they may offer longer service life and reduced maintenance costs over time.
