  • Axial cam pumps: This lightweight and compact pump has an adjustable flow and lasts around 600 to 800 hours.
  • Triplex plunger pumps: This pump is great for efficiency and long-lasting durability. It produces high-pressure performance for thousands of hours and allows for easy maintenance and repair.

Direct Drive vs. Belt Drive

 

Pressure washers usually come in two different drives.  Direct drive where the pump is mounted directly to the motor, and belt drive is where the pump is connected by pulleys and belts to the motor.

The advantage of direct drive is lighter weight and usually more compact.  But because of their connection to the motor and higher run speed, direct drive pumps won’t last as long.  Direct drives are ideal for intermittent use or where size and weight are a concern.  Usually considered commercial duty.

The advantage of belt drives are their durability.  Pumps run slower, are more robust and run cooler.  Their disadvantage is they are heavier and slightly larger.  They are ideal for the contractor that needs a heavy duty machine that is used every day.  Usually considered industrial duty.

 

Direct Drive Advantages:

  • Lower cost up front
  • Lighter weight
  • Smaller

 

Direct Drive Disadvantages:

  • Higher speed pump – faster wear / lower quality
  • Heat & vibration transfer from motor to pump
  • More long-term repairs

 

Belt Drive Advantages:

  • Slower speed pump
  • Pump built higher quality / more robust
  • Less repair costs / longer life

 

Belt Drive Disadvantages:

  • Higher cost up front
  • Heavier / larger
  • Occasional belt tightening

 

The main consideration when purchasing equipment is if the machine is going to be used daily, weekly, or monthly.  And when it is used, is it for a few hours or many hours.  Answering these questions will help you determine the right equipment for you.
