High-pressure triplex plunger pump is compact and affordable

The Cat Pumps Model 1560 is a compact unit capable of delivering flows of up to 30l/m at pressures up to 275bar. This performance is almost twice the flow rate of a comparable sized existing pump from Cat Pumps. Before the arrival of the 1560 Plunger Pump, Cat Pumps says that a unit twice the size and price would have been required to provide a similar output.

Triplex plunger pumps deliver a very smooth liquid flow. The Model 1560 is built to Cat Pumps' highest quality standards, with forged brass manifolds for strength and corrosion resistance, and a die-cast aluminium crank case that contributes to the pump's light weight (27.2kg) and precision tolerance control. External leakage is prevented by the inclusion of lubricated low-pressure seals, and the close-tolerance concentricity of the high-density polished ceramic plungers maximises seal life.

With the 1560, Cat Pumps has maintained its philosophy of manufacturing pumps that have excellent durability and long life. The chrome-moly crankshaft gives excellent strength and surface hardness, and the 304 stainless steel valves and seats are hardened and polished for good seating and extended life.

Announcing the introduction of the Cat 1560 plunger pump, UK General Manager Brian Hubbard comments: "The 1560 has an impressive pressure and flow rating for a pump of its size. We see it as being ideally suited to manufacturers of drain jetting tankers and trailers, where performance and compact size are highly prized attributes."
