Product Overview
THE ECOFLO PUMP:Bhinge Brothers has been actively working in the developmental sector for the upliftment of the poor farmers for last 8 years not only in India but across the world in many poor countries. Realising the necessity of the providing simple and low cost ideas for irrigation for poor and marginal farmers , the company was the first to develop a range of small micro irrigation kits suitable for irrigating farms from 20sq mtrs to 2000 sq mtrs. The irrigation was done by means of drip or mini sprinklers.. But all through the initial years of working with the kits for the small farmers it was realized that the simple low cost transportation , storage and pumping the water without the use of electricity was very much necessary for the effective utilization of the micro irrigation kits. The idea of developing such a simple manual pump that would help not only in transportation but also for using the irrigation systems very effectively thus emanated. The Ecoflo pump follows the same basic principle of the reciprocating suction pump. However the pump manifold and fittings, cylinders and pistons are all made from injection molded thermoplastic.The whole unit including the fabricated structure is portably designed in such a way that it weighs just 12kgs so a person weighing 60 kg should easily carry the unit, then should be able to suck water from upto 7mtrs depth and pump it to a level upto 15mtr. a pressure enough to run small mini sprinkler system.
