Steam Jenny Belt-Drive Cold Pressure Washers Provide Longer Pump Life

Steam Jenny,  a product division of Jenny Products Inc., offers four models of belt-drive cold pressure washers. Designed for heavy use, belt-drive pressure washers provide a longer pump life than direct-drive units, the company said.

The extended service life is because of the pulley system, which turns the pump significantly slower than if the pump was coupled with the engine crankshaft. Additionally, the belt absorbs engine vibration and allows the pump to be located farther away from engine heat. All models are designed for maximum durability and portability to meet the demands of commercial-duty applications.

The pressure washers are powered by 9- or 13-horsepower Honda GX Series engines, and all models feature a triplex ceramic plunger pump, which provides years of service while requiring little maintenance. Providing an ideal balance between power and volume, the units offer pressure ratings between 3,000 and 4,000 psi, and flow rates vary between 3 and 4 gpm.
