MORE PROVEN SOLUTIONS

NLB designs and manufactures the industry’s most comprehensive line of pump units and accessories (up to 40,000 psi, or 2,800 bar), helping contractors and industrial customers do all sorts of projects faster. Some of the most common are product removal, surface preparation, pavement marking and rubber removal, tube and pipe cleaning, tank cleaning, tube bundle cleaning, concrete hydrodemolition, and pipe cutting.

Productivity in such diverse applications demands innovative solutions, and many of NLB’s have been awarded patents and/or become industry standards. Examples:

SPIN JET® rotating water jets
SPIN-NOZZLE® rotating heads
STARJET™ highway and runway systems
HydroPrep™ surface preparation systems
Concrete Buster® hydrodemolition robot

Mr. Shook was named Michigan Entrepreneur of the Year by Inc. magazine in 1991.

Pumps and Units

No one in the water jet industry has as many pump units to choose from as NLB. Dedicated or convertible, diesel or electric, they give you the pressure, flow and horsepower to do virtually any job.

Need a unit you can operate at different pressures, up to 40,000 psi (2,800 bar)? We have many models you can convert in 20 minutes or so.  (See video at right.) A diesel unit with 600 hp? UHP with low flow? No problem!

And now, many of NLB’s diesel powered units are available in the UltraGreenconfiguration. They have Tier 4f-compliant engines that meet the new EPA standards, reducing NOx and particulate matter by 90% or more. And since they use far less fuel, your operating costs are also dramatically lower.

There are many reasons contractors and industry specify NLB pump units, but here are the ones we hear most often:

  • High efficiency (up to 97%) with consistent performance
  • Low operating cost
  • Fast, easy maintenance (e.g. 5-minute packing change)
  • Advanced engineering and long-life materials
  • Rebuildable after 20,000 hours

We’ve made it easy to find the right NLB pump unit for your application. You can search by type or try our handy selection guide by using the buttons at left.
