Waterjet Cutting

Used Flow HyPlex Prime: Sell or Buy at Auction

Flow International is the world's leading manufacturer of waterjet cutting systems: the technology pioneer that invented ultra-high-pressure waterjet cutting. Flow waterjet systems cut virtually any material including metals, composites, glass, stone, and rubber without heat-affected zones. Flow's Mach 500 and Dynamic Waterjet systems are the standard in aerospace, fabrication, and job shop environments.

The Flow HyPlex Prime is an ultra-high-pressure direct-drive pump: the power unit that generates the 60,000 psi water stream feeding a Flow abrasive waterjet cutting table, not the cutting table itself. Unlike a hydraulic intensifier, a direct-drive pump uses a crankshaft and plungers to pressurize water directly, which means fewer wear parts and lower energy draw per operating hour, and that efficiency is why the HyPlex line exists alongside Flow's HyperJet intensifiers. The Prime sits at the entry point of that line, sized for a single cutting head, so it is the pump most job shops and smaller fabricators reach for when they are stepping into waterjet cutting without the throughput demands of a multi-head production floor. Bidders at auction tend to be metal fabrication shops, stone and tile fabricators, and startups pairing the pump with a used gantry, and resale value tracks pump hours, high-pressure seal and plunger condition, and check valve wear more than age alone, along with whether spare seal kits and service records come with the unit. KD Auctions moves these units through both online and onsite formats, reaching a network of 500,000+ industry contacts, including the fabricators and equipment dealers who follow used waterjet gear.
