Pumps are manufactured in a variety of sizes and pressure ratings. A simple formula can be used to calculate the power needed for a particular pump to operate at a desired flow and pressure.
Preventative maintenance is critical to the performance and life of your industrial application pump. It can reduce the risk of injury, reduce "down time", increase profits, decrease operating costs and provide increased equipment life.
Depending on the manufacturer, your pump's internals (packings, brass retainers, intermediate ring guides and valve seats) may need to be replaced every 50 hours or three months, which ever comes first. Other wear items include plungers and seals.
Water quality, maintenance regime and operating pressure are important factors that affect the life of a pump. An increase in solids in the water will decrease the life of many parts, while an increase in temperature will cause corrosion and cavitation.
The CAT triplex plunger pump range is an industry recognised solution for very high pressure applications. The synchronised movement of the integrated plungers ensures a smooth and low pulsating flow. This makes CAT triplex plunger pumps more efficient than similar types of triplex pumps, providing in some cases greater than a 50% improvement in energy consumption.
