The pumps we work with in agriculture or even residentially have very different uses and characteristics.
Below we detail what each of them is used for and the types that exist. According to the user's need and the use to be made of them, we distinguish between irrigation pumps, dosing pumps y bilge pumps.
? The irrigation pumps they are used mainly in facilities dedicated to the irrigation of crops. These are responsible for providing the energy necessary to transport water through the
pipe network.
? In the case of dosing pumps, Its main function is to provide liquids to crops, such as fertilizers. These allow us to adjust to the needs of the plantation in a precise way, achieving strong crops and optimal results.
These types of pumps are very precise and can deposit very small amounts of chemical components. For this, we must choose the appropriate materials for the installation, taking into account the type of chemical component that will pass through it.
? The bilge pumps They are mainly used to dislodge liquids from one place in order to transport them to another place. Its most frequent use is residential.

Irrigation pumps
The irrigation pumps They can be classified according to three criteria: power source, position with respect to the sheet of water y conditioning shaft position.
? Depending on the power source, the pumps are classified as single-phase, three-phase or pumps connected to batteries that can be 12V, 24V, 48V… it depends on the supply voltage.
? Depending on its position with respect to the water, we find submersible pumps and non-submersible pumps. Submersible pumps are used when the pump is located in the water below the waterline and in direct contact with the liquid. They are usually used in wells, and submerged in irrigation ponds. The non-submersible pumpss, on the other hand, are installed in the field and used with low or no suction heights. These pumps are not in direct contact with water, so they have a suction piping system.
? Depending on the conditioning axis, there are horizontal pumps o vertical pumps. While horizontal pumps work by supplying large flows that move at low pressures, vertical pumps do so with low flows at high pressures.
Dosing pumps
The B'smetering irrigation pumps They are responsible for supplying liquid substances in an irrigation system. They dose the components in a very precise way, favoring the supply of the necessary substances in a uniform way during the period of time that is needed.
These substances are usually fertilizers and other types of chemical components necessary for the proper development of the crop.
En Mundoriego We have three types of dosing pumps: piston dosing pumps, electromagnetic dosing pumps y hydraulic dosing pumps.
Below we detail what each of them consists of. Take note!
? The piston dosing pumps They have a plunger which, thanks to its movement, moves the substances to be injected towards the irrigation system. These pumps have different flow rates (from 72 l / h to 304 l / h) and their power supply can be single-phase or
three-phase.
? The electromagnetic dosing pumps They are equipped with a more advanced injection control of liquid substances than that of piston pumps. This control allows the delivery of liquids to be even more precise than that of piston pumps. These pumps have flow rates that vary from 1,5 l / h to 8 l / h.
? The hydraulic dosing pumps They can work without input of electrical energy, being ideal for jobs that require special conditions, such as the movement of water at high temperatures or the use of aggressive chemicals. These pumps use the energy of the water to operate and adjust the fertilizer rate by varying the inlet pressure to the pump.
Bilge pumps
The bilge pumps are used to extract water from pools, wells, ponds and places flooded by the effect of rains and floods.
At Mundoriego we offer you two types of bilge pumps: stainless steel bilge pumps y plastic bilge pumps.
? The bilge pumps stainless steel They are used to evacuate filtration water without solids in suspension, use of decorative fountains and emptying of . They can work with liquids up to 40oC and at a maximum depth of 8m (depending on the model). Stainless steel pumps can be single-phase or three-phase.
? The plastic bilge pumps They are recommended for sporadic use. These pumps are ideal for evacuating clear water, emergency drainage in garages, emptying sumps or small transfers of water between tanks. They can be submerged up to 5m and support
temperatures up to 35 ° C.
All the information and advice you need to choose the appropriate pump for your installation, you can contact us through our section CONTACT on our website www.mundoriego.es, and we are specialists in multi-jet counter, osmosis o drip irrigation system.
I need a bilge pump that allows me to extract water from a 250 liter drum. of water for plant irrigation. My question is with a 12 volt pump, how many meters of hose at the outlet can I use without losing flow?
If you have a pump that allows me to do this work, please send me information on prices, payment methods and shipping to Puerto Natales.
Good,
We are in Spain, so the costs of shipping the pump to Chile are quite high.
If you are interested, write to us by email info@mundoriego.es to request a quote and we will give you all the information.
Sincerely, the Mundoriego team.
