Comet TWN6036S Belt Drive Triplex Pump - 22.7 L/min, 3,600 psi

The big brother of the Comet belt drive family and the one that ends up on serious gear - drain jetting rigs, industrial wash bays, truck wash and dust suppression. The TW covers a huge spread of flow and pressure on one crankcase, so you can usually find a model that suits your motor without changing the frame.

The Comet TWN6036S delivers 22.7 L/min at 3,600 psi running at 1,000 rpm, with a 24mm solid shaft.

Technicians Advice

• Starve a plunger pump and you will kill it. These want a flooded inlet or a gravity feed. A long, thin or half collapsed suction hose cavitates the pump, and you hear it as a rattle long before you see it as pitted plungers and a shredded seal kit.
• The unloader does more damage than the pump ever will. Long spells in bypass heat the water, and hot water in a bypass loop cooks the seals. If the operator sits on the trigger lock with the gun shut, run the bypass back to tank rather than round a loop.
• Change the oil early and often. First change at about 50 hours to clear the run-in debris, then every 500. Milky oil means water has got past the seals - that is the pump telling you the seal kit is due, not that it has failed.
• Belt tension is a setting, not a guess. Too loose and you glaze the belt and lose flow under load; too tight and you side load the crankshaft bearing. Aim for about 10 to 15 mm deflection at the middle of the span under firm thumb pressure.
• Water quality decides seal life more than hours do. Bore and recycled wash bay water carries grit that laps the ceramic plungers. A 50 mesh inlet filter is the cheapest insurance you will ever fit.
• Never run it dry, not even briefly. The water is the lubricant and the coolant for the plunger seals. Priming a dry pump with the gun shut is how a new pump becomes a warranty argument.
