PA B31 Gearbox

The PA B31 is a compact reduction gearbox designed for petrol and diesel engine-driven pressure washer systems up to 31 HP (23 kW). Manufactured by P.A. S.p.A. in Italy, the B31 converts engine output speed of 3,100 RPM down to approximately 1,450 RPM — the ideal operating speed for most triplex plunger pumps. Its hardened steel helical gears ensure quiet, efficient power transfer with long service life, making it a reliable choice for commercial and industrial waterblasting rigs across New Zealand.
