Types Of Sprinkler Irrigation Systems

Grekkon Limited’s has all types of sprinkler irrigation systems for agriculture. From the giant flange type rain guns, to the tiny micro sprinklers. Here detail how each works, and the prices

 

Types of Sprinkler Irrigation Systems: Price and Specifications

Plastic	1/2″	5M	10M	1.5M3/ Hr	450

 

3. Pop up sprinklers

For lawns, parks, and gardens. The are sub surface units, which under pressure rise (pop up) to irrigate.

Make	Inlet Diameter	Max Spray Diameter	Min Head (Pressure Rating)	Max Flow Rate	Price in Kes
Plastic	3/4″	12M	10M	3M3/ Hr	4,500
Plastic	1/2″	7.5M	10M	2M3/ Hr	2,500

 

Types of sprinkler irrigation systems: Others

Other smaller sprinkler types for small gardening are butterfly sprinklers, and micro sprinklers. They have low coverage and an inlet of 1/2″

Micro sprinklers today irrigate large acreages of orchard. They are attached to a sub-main line, taking the pace of button drippers

 

 

How To Select The right Type of Sprinkler Irrigation System

• By crop. Lawn grass will thrive better with pop ups
• Water availability. Rain gun sprinklers demand the most amount of water
• Generation of pressure. Micro sprinklers work with the least pressure
• Budget. Pop up systems are the most expensive , and sophisticated

Drip Irrigation System

Every drip irrigation system in Kenya by Grekkon Limited supported by a HDPE or PVC line. We are the largest drip irrigation kits suppliers in Kenya, reaching the highest number of farmers. At the very bottom we do simple drip irrigation systems, also known as kitchen garden drips. It advances to 1 acre drip irrigation kits, 5 acre drip irrigation systems to hundreds of acres. Our drip pipes for sale in Kenya are the double emitter drip irrigation pipes

Drip Irrigation Kits Prices In Kenya Are A Factor Of

1. Crop type

Drip Kit Components

1. The main line. This is a PVC or a HDPE pipe. The choice of pipe thickness is according to the pressure of the water in it. A farmer with gravity flow has a thinner pipe than one with a high pressure water pump
2. Water filter. To remove impurities that will otherwise block the drip pipe emitters
3. Gate vales. They control the water movement from one point to another by opening or closing
4. Main line fittings; tees, elbows, adaptors, connectors, saddle clamps, reducers, and end caps. They are either PVC or HDPE as per the pipe. Their size depends on the pipe size
5. The sub main line. This is connected to the main line, and is the origin of drip lines
6. Sub-main line fittings; tees, elbows, adaptors, connectors, saddle clamps, reducers, and end caps. They are either PVC or HDPE as per the pipe. Their size depends on the pipe size
7. Drip pipes. These pre-perforated pipes have emitters that supply water to the crop directly
8. Drip fittings; starter connectors, off take connectors, drip to drip connectors, rubbers, mini-valves, and end caps

Solar Pump Prices In Kenya

Grekkon Limited’s solar pump prices in Kenya for shallow wells and boreholes are determined from test pumping results. Being a top solar water pump suppliers in Kenya, every pump is unique. This is in it’s power rating, head, and flow rate. Our solar water pumps for agriculture under irrigation are available in our branches countrywide.

1. Power rating. This is the motor kilowatts (kW) or horsepower (Hp)
2. Head. This is the maximum vertical height the solar water pump will push water. It is inversely related to the flow rate
3. Flow rate. The amount of water the water pump evacuates per given time. This is indicated as;  per second, minute, or hour

A borehole solar water pump in Kenya’s price is from the test pumping results.

Every solar water pump in Kenya by our technical team is aligned to the power wattage, and water level. This ensures efficiency and maximum longevity. We provide a one year warranty with each pump, and a detailed operational manual.

 

Our submersible DC solar pumps work with photo-voltaic cells solar panels for both deep well, and shallow wells. Each solar cell has two or more specially prepared layers of semiconductor material that produce direct current (DC) electricity. This DC current is collected by the wiring in the panel. It is then supplied either to a DC pump, which in turn pumps water. Photovoltaic (PV) systems have a high input cost. It has many features which make it attractive as an alternative source of power. It is clean, as it produces no carbon emission. There is no noise generation, and it has low operational and maintenance cost
