Belt-Drive Cold Pressure Washers

Jenny Products, Inc.
Somerset, Pa.

/Public/News/20091128100000-3.jpg" width="200" height="133" border="0" alt="Belt-Drive Cold Pressure Washers">
Steam Jenny introduces 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 extended service life is due to a pulley system that turns the pump significantly slower than if the pump was coupled with the engine crankshaft. The belt absorbs engine vibration and allows the pump to be located farther away from the engine heat. All models are designed for maximum durability and portability to meet the demands of commercial-duty applications. The units offer an ideal balance between power and volume.
