The profile of application of an irrigation-pump-unit is mostly dictated by the farmer. A long lifetime is required (1,000 operating hours a year are not seldom) and features like operational reliability, simple handling, small service input and low fuel-consumption are basic requirements.
The HÜDIG irrigation-pump-unit is based on a tank chassis frame. The volume of the fuel-tank is 500 l or alternatively 985 l. The internal of the engine-compartment is an oil-pan. The aggregates are delivered with a lockable noise protection hood. To secure a safe placement the unit is equipped with a rear support leg and additionally with an adjustable support wheel in the front (with spindle adjustment). The doors of the canopy are dimensioned generously and lockable. The removable tow-bar is equipped with a DIN tow-eye. For the bleeding of the water pump a semi-automatic pump venting is used. The engine-control allows the possibility for an engine-stop with the high- or low-pressure switch and allows an engine-stop with a time control switch as well. Further information like operation hours, daily running hours, rest running time, operational pressure, rpm and service can be controlled, too. The suction connection is shaped like a gooseneck and is equipped with a vacuum meter. The pressure connection has a gate-valve. At the right side of the unit are brackets which allow the safe transport of hoses.
Only Diesel-engines from considerable manufacturer are used as drive-unit. The selection of the multistage non-priming centrifugal-pump is ruled by quality, efficiency and spare-part availability.
It is safe to say that HÜDIG is a good choice.
