Submersible Pumps
Submersible water pumps are specialised electrical devices designed to submerge in liquids such as water or diesel completely and are engineered to push the liquid to the surface rather than pulling it. Kingfisher Direct offers a range of submersible pumps for agricultural water management and industrial diesel and pesticide handling applications, with various capacities and voltages to suit your needs.
What are the Typical Applications of Submersible Pumps in Agriculture?
Submersible water pumps are essential for modern agricultural operations, providing a reliable and efficient means of managing water for irrigation, drainage, and livestock needs. Designed to operate fully submerged, these pumps are ideal for applications where a consistent supply and movement of water are crucial for productivity.
Irrigation Systems
-
One of the most common applications of a submersible pump in agriculture is irrigation. These pumps are well-suited for both small-scale farming and large-scale commercial operations. They effectively extract water from wells, rivers, or reservoirs to supply various irrigation methods, including drip irrigation, sprinkler systems, or flood irrigation setups.
Key Benefits for Irrigation:
-
Deliver water at consistent pressure and flow rates.
-
Efficiently move large volumes of water over long distances.
-
Reduce water waste by ensuring precise delivery to crops.
Water Extraction from Deep Wells
-
Farmers often use submersible pumps to draw water from deep wells, especially in arid areas where surface water is limited. The pump's ability to function at great depths ensures a reliable water supply for agricultural purposes.
-
Typical Features for Well Use:
-
High-capacity pumping for deep boreholes.
-
Corrosion-resistant materials to handle various water qualities.
Livestock Watering Systems
Submersible pumps play a crucial role in providing water to livestock, ensuring animals have a constant supply for drinking and sanitation. They are often used to fill troughs and ponds directly from underground sources or pump water in and out of IBC containers.
-
Why Use a Submersible Pump for Livestock Watering?
-
Durable and capable of handling continuous operation.
-
Low noise levels prevent stress on livestock.
Fertiliser and Chemical Distribution
-
A submersible water pump can be utilised to deliver liquid fertilisers or pesticides directly into irrigation systems, ensuring that they are applied evenly across the fields.
Advantages:
-
Minimised manual effort and reduced time spent on application.
-
Precise control for optimised crop growth and protection.
