Wanner Hydra-Cell Pro^® T60 Pump

9.4 to 94 GPM at pressures up to 1,000 PSI

The T60 is the newest T-series Wanner Hydra-Cell Pro^® pump. It sits between the D66 (65 GPM at 1,000 PSI) and the T100 (96 GPM at 2,100 PSI).

T Series Hydra-Cell Pro Pumps

T-series frames are the asynchronous sealless line. Before the T60 they were aimed at higher flow and higher pressure — roughly 10 to 100 GPM and above 1,500 PSI. Synchronous D / G / P frames cover the low-rate, high-accuracy jobs: 0.06 GPH up to 65 GPM, usually under 1,000 PSI. The T60 gives you T-series flow without building a 2,000 PSI pump for a 1,000 PSI duty.

Features and Specifications

• About 9.4 to 94 GPM at 60 to 600 RPM
• Discharge 30 to 1,000 PSI
• Maximum inlet 500 PSI
• Left- or right-side drive shaft
• Uni-directional shaft rotation
• NPT or ANSI flanged ports

Comparison to Plunger Pumps

The sealless design is the difference that shows up in uptime and cost. A plunger pump has a dynamic seal. The plunger that moves the liquid also runs through packing so process stays out of the oil end. That rub wears. Wear speeds up when:

1. there is particulate in the liquid
2. the liquid does not lubricate
3. temperature is at either extreme
4. the pump runs dry on prime, shutdown or an upset

A Hydra-Cell Pro seal is static. Items 1–4 above do not wear a packing gland because there isn't one.

Two points matter most on a T60:

1. Filtration to protect the pump is 800 micron. Triplex plunger IOMs still talk 10 micron.
2. Zero fugitive emissions. Liquid stays in the head. Worn plunger packing does not.

The long comparison is here: Wanner Hydra-Cell Pro^® vs piston and plunger pumps.

Required Maintenance

T60 and a triplex plunger both change check valves and oil. A T60 holds about twice the oil of a CAT 6760 (5 gallons vs 2.5). The T60 uses ordinary 10W30 synthetic — first change at 500 hours, then every 2,000 hours or six months. CAT wants their own oil at 50 hours, then every 500 hours. One year of continuous duty: T60 about 25 gallons of 10W30; CAT about 43.75 gallons of multi-viscosity ISO 68.

No packing means no packing job. A plunger seal change means the head comes off. That is neither fast nor cheap.

Operational Savings

Wanner^® surveyed a plant that started swapping plunger pumps for T-series Hydra-Cell Pro frames. Savings per pump:

Purchase price is what gets quoted. Running cost is what shows up later — and it can pass the pump price.

Typical T / Q asynchronous duties:

Remote sites and hazardous liquid are where no packing leak and fewer call-outs pay for the frame.

T and Q frames replace these piston / plunger brands. Bethlehem, Oilwell, Ajax, Kerr, Kobe and Weatherford no longer build those pumps; parts become custom. The other names still sell into the T-series range — those shops cut operating cost by moving to Hydra-Cell Pro.

Why plants finally switch:

Most shops are not proactive. The old pump runs until it does not. A rebuild is often the fastest way back online. Repeated failures are usually what starts the search. Keep Hydra-Cell Pro in mind on any high-maintenance duty — especially a brand that is out of production.
