Triplex high pressure pumps

SPECK high pressure testing units: now optionally available with conventional V-belt drive or gearmotor.

With an ever-increasing interest, customers and partners of SPECK Pumpen are demanding more compact high pressure testing units. As an alternative to space-consuming V-belt drives, we now also offer our high pressure pumps with compact gearmotors.

High-pressure testing units with V-belt drives can sometimes create space problems in the equipment room: The base plate of the assembly takes up a relatively large area. V-belt drives are used in high pressure Plunger pumps when the pump has to be operated at lower speeds than the rated speed of the motor allows.

Compact gearmotors provide a remedy. They take up significantly less space and require less maintenance, ensuring the trouble-free continuous operation of the high pressure unit.
In addition, the effects of transverse forces on the rotating components are eliminated.

In order to achieve a low output speed at a high motor speed, standard or slightly modified asynchronous motors with a single- or multi-stage gearbox are installed. Instead of reducing the speed by means of a frequency converter, the full motor power is thus used. Gearmotors for high pressure Plunger pumps are usually single-stage and available up to 55 kW. Their use is particularly advisable at speeds of less than 1,000 min-1.

Gearmotors are more expensive than standard motors and require the use of gear oils. SPECK Pumpen has therefore decided to offer both drive variants. Our customers can thus equip the unit according to their needs. Our industrial engineering team will be happy to support you in your decision!
