1. A water-abrasive suspension cutting facility, comprising:
a high-pressure source for providing water at a high pressure;
a high-pressure conduit connected to the high-pressure source;
a pressure tank for providing an abrasive agent suspension, the abrasive agent suspension being at the high pressure;
a lock chamber configured to temporarily be at the high pressure and temporarily at a low pressure;
a filling valve for filling the lock chamber when the lock member is at the low pressure;
a pump connected at a suction side and fluidly-connected to the lock chamber and capable of being shut off, wherein the pump is configured to be shut off in a manner such that, given the high pressure in the lock chamber, the pump is shut off from the lock chamber, and, given low pressure in the lock chamber, the pump is configured to suck an abrasive agent suspension through the filling valve and into the lock chamber.
