Technical Description MPPU
The CAT Multi Purpose Pumping Unit is a truck mounted high pressure pumping unit for pumping and
mixing fluids, inhibited acid , and sand slurry fluids.
The Unit is operated by an operator panel inside the cabin on the truck.
The triplex pump is driven by the chassis engine and transmission via a transfer case.
The truck components are selected to provide optimum performance to the end user, as dictated by
environmental conditions and serviceability.
This system is designed for minimum maintenance and operating in extremely harsh environment with
temperatures ranging from -10°C to 45 °C and relative humidity up to 90%.

2.2 Transmission
Volvo PT2606 is a 6-speed fully automatic planetary gearbox with the possibility of manual gearchanges.
PT2606 is dimensioned for engine torque of 2600 Nm.
Powertronic PT2606 is specially developed for heavy transport operations. It offers smooth, gentle
gearchanges without any interruption in power delivery and permits safe starts even in difficult conditions.
This makes it ideal for demanding construction applications and urban transportation duties characterised
by frequent stop-start driving. PT2606 has an efficient control system and well-adapted gear change
strategies. The gearbox has long oil change intervals. If special oil is used, the oil needs changing every
200,000 km or every two years.
PT2606 consists of a hydraulic torque amplifier with lock-up, a number of planetary gears with multiple disc
brakes and clutches that lock to the various parts of the planetary gear. The gearchanging functions are
completely electronically controlled and monitored via control units for the gear selector and the gearbox,
integrated in the truck’s electronic system.
The torque amplifier is robustly designed to match the engine’s torque, offering excellent pulling power and
hill-climbing ability. The torque amplifier steps up the engine’s torque and in this way provides excellent
starting traction. It also absorbs all snatch in the driveline when starting off from standstill. The torque
amplifier is equipped with automatic lock-up that locks the impeller and turbine wheel to each other. This
lock-up is activated on all gears and offers a high efficiency rating, low fuel consumption and low running
costs.
