Astramilano 7hp 2inch Outlet Gasoline Water Pump

The “Astramilano 7hp 2inch Outlet Gasoline Water Pump” is a well-known and widely available product in Kenya, often presented as a high-pressure solution for various water transfer needs.

Here’s a detailed overview of what you can expect from this pump:

Key Features and Specifications:

• Size: 2-inch inlet and outlet diameter.
• Engine:
  • 7HP (horsepower) 4-stroke gasoline (petrol) engine. Some listings specify 7.5HP for high-pressure models.
  • Often quoted with a displacement of around 196CC or 206CC.
• Performance (General Purpose vs. High Pressure):
  • Standard Astramilano 2-inch pumps: Typically offer a total head (max lift) of around 27-30 meters and a flow rate of about 23-36 cubic meters per hour (m³/hr) or roughly 380-600 liters per minute.
  • High-Pressure Astramilano 2-inch pumps (e.g., AMP50ZPHP): These are a key selling point for Astramilano. They are designed for higher vertical lift and often feature a twin impeller system to achieve this.
    • Max Lift (Total Head): Can reach significantly higher, with listings quoting 90 meters to even 100 meters. This makes them suitable for pushing water over long distances or up significant inclines (e.g., for rain gun sprinklers, hilly terrain irrigation).
    • Flow Rate: While offering higher pressure, the flow rate for high-pressure pumps might be slightly lower than some high-volume standard pumps of the same size, typically around 30-36 m³/hr (500-600 liters per minute). Some even quote 68 m³/hr for the AMP50.
• Suction Head: Typically around 7 to 8 meters.
• Fuel Tank Capacity: Common around 3.6 liters.
• Construction: Often features durable materials like cast iron pump bodies (especially for high-pressure models) and aluminum. Built to withstand demanding conditions.
• Starting System: Easy recoil start.
• Portability: Designed to be compact and portable, making them easy to move around for various applications. Water Pump
