Cat Pumps turns up the pressure

In response to demands from many of our customers worldwide for a triplex positive displacement pump capable of operating at pressures of up to 690 bar (10,000 psi), we are now offering a new model to meet those requirements.

1810_pumpThe Model 1810 Plunger Pump delivers a low pulsation flow of up to 11.4 l/min and excellent volumetric efficiency.  Resistance to corrosion and wear is ensured by block-style stainless-steel manifolds and high-density polished solid ceramic plungers, giving the Model 1810 extended seal and operating life. And with a die-cast aluminum crankcase, the pump combines high strength with minimum weight.

Applications for the Model 1810 are numerous and include:

  • Hydrostatic testing
  • Instrument line flushing
  • Surface preparation
  • Tube cleaning
  • Tank & vessel cleaning

This new pump has the highest pressure rating in our product range so far and takes our triplex positive displacement pump family into applications requiring a powerful but compact high pressure unit. Its light weight, just 27.3kg, which means that it is suitable for portable applications as well as stationary installation, and in keeping with all our pumps, the wet end is easily serviced without the need to disturb the crankcase.
