Brian Vickers Driving Special #55 Toyota Camry Saluting Jet Edge Waterjets at Sylvania 300, September 23 in Loudon, N.H.


Jet Edge, Inc. is pleased to announce that Michael Waltrip Racing’s famous #55 Toyota Camry will be decked out in Jet Edge blue for the Sylvania 300 NASCAR® Sprint Cup Series race Sept. 23 in Loudon, N.H. The special #55 Jet Edge/Freightliner Toyota Camry will be driven by Brian Vickers.

Michael Waltrip Racing is running the special #55 as a salute to sponsors Jet Edge and Freightliner. MWR uses a 90,000 psi Jet Edge waterjet system to cut more than 1,000 parts for each of its racecars. MWR builds about 56 cars per year, including the #55 Aaron’s Dream Machine Toyota Camry driven by Michael Waltrip, Mark Martin and Brian Vickers, the #56 NAPA AUTO PARTS Toyota Camry driven by Martin Truex Jr., and the #15 5-hour ENERGY Toyota Camry driven by Clint Bowyer.

Vickers, who is driving the #55 car in eight races this year for MWR, became the youngest Busch Series champion in NASCAR history in 2003, at the age of 20.

“We were absolutely blown away when MWR told us they would be running a special Jet Edge car at Loudon,” said Jet Edge president Jude Lague. “MWR is truly a first-class organization and we are so proud that they use a Jet Edge water jet system to make their parts, and that they think so highly of us to put a Jet Edge car on the track.”

The race will air at 1 p.m. EST on ESPN.

Jet Edge Modular Waterjet Pump Ideal for Tight Spaces, Shipboard Use

ST. MICHAEL, Minn. (July 25, 2012) – Waterjet manufacturer Jet Edge, Inc. introduces the iP36-50 Modular Waterjet Intensifier Pump. Designed for ease of portability, the 36KSI (2500 bar), 50hp waterjet pump features a modular design that makes it easy to move into tight spaces, such as small passageways, ship engine rooms and ballast tanks.


The Jet Edge iP36-50 Modular Waterjet Intensifier Pump produces up to 1.8 gpm (6.8 L/m) of 36KSI (2500 bar) ultra-high pressure (UHP) water for precision cutting, cleaning and surface preparation applications. It includes three modules with lifting eyes. The modules can be stacked to save space during operation or storage. The pump’s hydraulic module contains the electric motor, hydraulic pump, hydraulic fluid supply, a plate style heat exchanger, and related components to produce the hydraulic power to operate the intensifier. The hydraulic module also has an adjustment to set the hydraulic pressure that controls the ultra-high pressure. The pump’s water module contains the intensifier, attenuator, bleed down valve, water filters, and related components to produce the UHP water. The electrical module contains the electrical components to operate the electric motor and intensifier. The electrical module also issues control signals and monitors sensor signals. The modules are linked together by hydraulic hoses and electrical cables which allows for separation of the modules from each other to a distance of 10 feet (3m).

Jet Edge offers the widest range of waterjet pumps in the industry, including 30-280hp waterjet pumps in 36KSI, 60KSI and 90KSI models, electric and diesel. Jet Edge also manufactures precision waterjet cutting systems, mobile waterjet cutters, UHP surface preparation equipment and water jet parts. Jet Edge waterjets are made in U.S.A.
