Solar Hand Pumps- Environment friendly technology

A solar hand pump is a water pumping device that utilizes solar energy to draw and pump water from a bore well during the day and offers and option to store water in an over head tank, for use when solar energy is not available. It is an Eco-friendly and sustainable use of technology without any impairment to the environment. Since it only requires solar power for operation, it proves to be more cost effective than the pumps that use electricity.

The solar powered submersible pump can be installed on a bore well, and operates on the electricity generated by the solar array. Batteries are not required for power storage. The submersible pump directly stores water in a overhead tank, for use in the absence of power from the solar array. The set up is convenient and simple, which entails no operational costs, while the cost of maintenance is also relatively low.

The pump head is made up of stainless steel and the body is lightweight. The size of the operating head can be chosen from 15m to 90m as per requirement. The pump discharges water ranging from 500 to 4500 liters per hour. The pump can be installed in bore/tube wells of 100mm and above diameter, and requires a brush less DC or a specially designed AC motor for operation. The voltage requirement of the motor ranges from 30 to300 volts, depending on the quantity of water drawn. The optimum rate speed of the pump is 500rpm, and can reach a maximum of 3600rpm. Mono crystalline or multi crystalline photo voltaic cells are fitted into an aluminum frame to create the solar array. A galvanized piping structure is used for mounting the solar array, which makes it corrosion resistant. The solar panel can also be tilted in any suitable direction for the optimum utilization of the panel. Power out put of the panel ranges from 500-2000 watts at 15 to 100 volts, and the operating temperature ranges from 40 to 80 degree Celsius.A deep well hand pump can also be installed on the same bore, using riser pipes, as a backup, for assurance against lack of solar power.

Demands of Afridev Hand pumps manufactured by Aakash International are growing by many folds in last few years mainly because of the service and quality we provide in hand pumps. 

The Afridev pump is a conventional lever hand pumps, it is designed for heavy-duty use, serving communities of up to 300 people. The maximum recommended lift for Afridev Hand Pump is 45 m. The Afridev Hand Pumps is fully corrosion resistant, easy to install and has excellent potential for community-based maintenance. 

The configuration includes an "open top" cylinder: the piston can be removed from the cylinder without dismantling the rising main. The for valve is retractable with a fishing tool.

Owing to the positive response from prestigious clients, we have been inspired to manufacture and export our hand pumps. We manufacture our hand pumps using best quality of raw material which is sourced from the trustworthy vendor of the market being the reason for our company to be one of the best retailers in the market. 

The Afridev Pump was designed on the basis of field trials in Africa.The Afridev hand pump is a pump which can pump water from up to 45-60 meters below ground surface. This pump is designed with a cylinder which allows the piston to be extracted without removing the rising main. All the specifications of the Pump are controlled by SKAT and the specifications have undergone 5 Revisions. It is widely used in almost all the regions of Africa and is one of the biggest success stories of the continent.

The majority of people in the developing world gain access to groundwater either by means of a bucket and rope, or by using a hand pump. Using a bucket and rope can be made easier if the well is provided with a windless to help lift the bucket.

However, although easy to operate and repair, the bucket and windless arrangement has serious disadvantages: it does not allow the well to have a salable cover slab to prevent ingress of polluted water or other contaminants, and the bucket and rope themselves are continually polluted by mud and dirty hands. Therefore, if the water to be raised from a well or borehole is for people to drink, it is preferable to install a hand pump.
