Petrol Water Pump Prices In Kenya

Grekkon Limited’s petrol water pump prices in Kenya are for high and low pressure irrigation water pumps. These petrol water pumps for sale in Kenya are from various manufacturers in Malaysia, Italy, Japan, and the UK. The high-pressure petrol water pump models feature open impellers suitable for pumping lightly silted water which is common in most farms. Our gasoline water pumps have a four-stroke air-cooled engine that excels in pumping irrigation water in small to medium sized farms. Unlike the heavy diesel water pumps, they are light and highly portable so that they can irrigate from any direction, to make work easier for the farmer

When selecting your gasoline water pump for irrigation, it is important to understand these 5 pump specifications. They are;

• Head in meters or bars which is the pressure rating. It determines the force of the water from the pump
• Discharge rate, which is the amount of water the pump will provide over a given unit of time. Some are given in litres per minute, and others in cubic litres per hour
• The horse power (Hp). This is the engine power from the engine that drives the pump attached to it. The higher it is, the more powerful the pump is
• The inlet and outlet pipe diameters. The former guides you on the suction pipe diameter to attach, while the latter gives the reticulation pipes diameter from the pump
• Suction depth or lift. It is a measure of how deep the pump will draw water. This guides on the suction pipe length and depth

 

 

Our portable petrol water pumps are self-priming ideal for small to medium acreage irrigation. Gasoline pumps have low fuel consumption with a suction lift of 7.5M to 8M and an outlet diameter of 2”. They are easy to maintain with no special tools required, besides regular servicing after every 100 hours of use.

Below is a tabulation of our irrigation water pumps for irrigation and domestic use

Petrol Water Pump Prices In Kenya

Petrol water pump prices in Kenya are categorised separately for high, and low pressure pumps

 

1. High-pressure gasoline water pumps

These gasoline pumps have a lift/ head that exceeds 50M. Head is a measure of how high a pump pushes up water vertically at 90 degrees angle. The higher it is, the greater the pressure exerted by the water pump. They are used to drive irrigation water over a steep elevation or height. High-pressure water pumps have a double impeller, and low water volume discharge, which is below 40 cubic litres per hour. Before settling for one, the farmer must understand the farm elevation, so as to match it with he right water pump to chieve the right water pressure

Model	Specs; head, flow rate, and horsepower	Price in KES
Lifan	60M, 37.8 cubic per hour and 7.5Hp	KES 32,000
Carltons UK	60M, 37.8 cubic per hour and 8.5Hp	KES 35,000
AICO	75M, 20 cubic per hour and 7Hp	KES 35,000

Hisaki

90M, 30 cubic per hour and 7Hp

KES 35,000

AstraMilano

90M, 36 cubic per hour and 7Hp

KES 35,000

These are suited for rain gun sprinklers which require high pressure to operate

1.4. Power Italia Kes 70,000. Specs; 120M head, 30 cubic meters per hour of water, 13Hp. This is great for evacuating water up on very steep elevations, and to power rain gun sprinklers

 

2. Low-pressure petrol water pumps.

They have a low head rating and are used to irrigate downhill or flat terrains. These gasoline water pumps are further categorised into low volume and high volume water pumps. The high volume discharge over cubic litres per hour, whle the low volume models provide a lessor discharge. Low-pressure water pumps have a single impeller

Model	Specs; head, flow rate, and horsepower	Price in KES
Daishin Honda	32M, 60 cubic per hour and 7Hp	KES 35,000
KATO	48M, 36 cubic per hour and 6.5Hp	KES 18,000

AICO

25M, 45 cubic per hour and 7Hp

KES 18,000

ING-CO

32M, 60 cubic per hour and 7Hp

KES 45,000

*ING-CO has a 3″ inlet and outlet

 

2.1 Daishin Honda is ideal for the rain hose kit which requires high water volume

 

2.2. Kato is for evacuating water to a storage facility or for furrow or drip irrigation on flat land

We advise growers on the most appropriate water pump type based on; farm size, crop water need, elevation, and the client’s budget

 

 

Petrol water pumps carbon emissions

The downside of petrol water pumps is CO2 emissions, which contribute to global warming, the chief reason for negative climate change being experienced today. To calculate the quantity of CO2 emission from a petrol water pump, multiply the fuel usage in litres by a factor of 2.305. For example; a pump that consumes 100 litres of petrol per month emits 230.5kgs of CO2 emissions monthly
