Description

The Cat Pumps Model 340 is a high-performance, frame-size 5 plunger pump known for its “over-built” design and extreme durability. Specifically engineered for continuous-duty industrial applications, this 5PFR (5-Frame, Plunger, Flow-Rated) pump is a favorite for systems requiring 1800 PSI at standard electric motor speeds.

Technical Specifications

• Flow Rate: 4.0 GPM (15.1 LPM)

• Pressure Range: 100 to 1800 PSI (7 to 124 bar)

• Speed: 1725 RPM

• Shaft Diameter: 20 mm (Solid Shaft)

• Inlet Port: 1/2″ NPT(F)

• Discharge Port: 3/8″ NPT(F)

• Max Liquid Temp: 160°F (71°C)

Key Features

• Triplex Design: Three ceramic plungers provide a smooth, consistent liquid flow with minimal pulsation.

• Solid Ceramic Plungers: Includes precision-ground alumina ceramic plungers that offer a diamond-hard surface, protecting the seals from premature wear and heat.

• Direct Drive Optimization: At 1725 RPM, it is designed for a 1:1 drive ratio, making it ideal for direct coupling to a standard 5.0 HP electric motor.

• Chrome-Moly Crankshaft: Provides superior strength and long-term reliability for the drive end, even under heavy-duty cycles.
