A crankshaft or direct-drive style pump uses a crank to drive the pump’s plunger, while an intensifier uses a hydraulic cylinder to drive the plunger. Intensifier pumps cost somewhat more upfront, but pay for themselves over time with lower maintenance costs and longer service life. Jet Edge has customers who have logged more than 35,000 hours on intensifier pumps that are still going strong.
