Pump

Description

Piston pump Simple construction; about 90% efficiency, relatively noisy; water filtration necessary in combination with water reclamation technology due to a maximum allowable particle size of 160mm.
Hydraulic pressure transformer (oil pressure into water pressure) Quiet, wear resistant, robust for use with water reclamation; bulky and heavy, about 80% efficiency
Radial piston pump High efficiency, quiet, pulsation-free, consistent pressure and even nozzle output quantity across the entire operating range, wear-resistant, flushing water and "pump elements" are not connected to each other; compact design, easy to repair, water reclamation not an issue
Axial piston pump Wear resistant, flushing water and "pump elements" do not come into contact; easy repair, water reclamation not an issue
