What is a cat triplex pump?
Cat Pumps are triplex, positive displacement, reciprocating pumps. We offer both triplex piston and triplex plunger pump styles.

Typically a triplex pump is driven by an A.C. motor, which then has a crank-shaft and connecting rod assembly to convert the rotation of the motor shaft to the reciprocating motion of the pistons or plungers, in much the same way as an internal combustion engine works.
