Pompe à eau pour l’irrigation des champs agricoles
Custom-made water pumps, open mounted on solid steel base frame, for agricultural irrigation. The pump units are specially designed for continuous operation in the extreme hot conditions in Africa.
The complete project consists of 8 pump units with a totally pump capacity of approx. 33.000 m³ of water per hour. That quantity of water is enough to irrigate permanently approx. 5.000 ha. of sugar cane fields. Delivery including valves on the discharge site of the pumps.
