Unloaders

Industrial Duty Pressure Regulating Unloaders for Trigger Gun Applications
Unloaders

A pressure-sensitive unloader is used as a primary pressure control device to set and maintain consistent system pressure while providing an energy and system savings feature that allows the pump to run at low pressure when the downstream flow shuts off. An unloader contains a check valve that traps pressure between the closed downstream device (shut-off gun) and the unloader, causing an internal piston to open, allowing the pump to unload at low pressure. When the shut-off gun is opened back up, the system will return to operating pressure.

Regulators and unloaders each have their benefits. Review our Regulator vs. Unloader Video to learn the differences between the two valve types and which is suitable for your system.

A wide range of unloaders is available from Cat Pumps and feature color-coded springs for easy identification. Convert one model to another model simply by substituting the spring.

Product Range:
0.5 to 120 GPM, 100 to 7,250 PSI

Typical usage:
Used for single pump, single or multiple-gun, and nozzle applications.

Materials:
Available in brass, 304, and 316 stainless steel

Elastomers are available in medium nitrile buna (NBR), fluorocarbon (FPM), ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM), and more.
