Mobile pumping station main country of buyer

When they say 'mobile pumping station is the main country of the buyer', many immediately imagine standard export schemes. But the reality is more complicated - for example, in Uzbekistan over the past three years, demand has shifted from diesel models to hybrid solutions, which is not obvious from general statistics.

Geography of demand and hidden trends

In Kazakhstan, for example, they consistently use stations with a productivity of 50 m3/h, and always with a frequency control system. But in Turkmenistan, simple diesel units are still preferred, apparently due to the availability of fuel. It is interesting that in the last tender the Ministry of Water Resources of the Republic of Kazakhstan was required tomobile pumping stationwith remote control, which confirms the trend towards digitalization.

We at Shandong Linyao Intelligent Agriculture Technology LLC once sent a test batch to the Tashkent region - and it turned out that local engineers attach critical importance not so much to passport characteristics, but to maintainability in the field. We had to reconsider the design of the filters.

By the way, about filters - in projects for the Fergana Valley it was necessary to develop special multi-stage cleaning systems. Local water with a high content of suspended matter destroyed standard Italian-made filters in just two months. This is about the question of why ready-made imported solutions do not always work.

Technical nuances for specific tasks

For mobile irrigation systems in the Golodnaya Steppe, it was necessary to increase the diameter of the pipes - according to experience, local operators tend to overload the system by connecting additional branches. It’s better to stock up in advance than to deal with constant breakdowns later.

Frequency converters are a different story. In Kazakhstan, too, our stations with Russian Vespers operate stably, but their Chinese counterparts begin to fail at temperatures above +45°C. At the same time, customers often save on this particular component, and then are surprised by premature failures.

Last season we experimented with a remote control system via cellular networks - it turned out that in remote areas of Karakalpakstan satellite communications work more stable, although it is more expensive. But for emergency services this is the only working option.

Logistics and installation

Delivery to some areas of the Kyzylorda region takes longer than customs clearance - roads allow travel only during the dry season. We had to develop a collapsible structure that could be transported in parts.

On-site installers often ignore foundation requirements and place stations directly on the ground. After several cases of subsidence, leveling jacks were added to the equipment, and the problems became fewer. A small thing, but it significantly affects the service life.

An interesting point: in Uzbekistan they prefer containerized stations, while in Kazakhstan they prefer stations on a chassis. Apparently, the difference is in the approaches to organizing temporary objects.

Service and feedback

According to the experience of https://www.lyzhihuinongye.ru, the most frequent warranty claims are related not to pumps, but to automation. Systems especially suffer from voltage surges - in rural networks in some regions, fluctuations reach 30-40% of the nominal value.

Local technicians have to be trained from scratch - even basic things like calibrating pressure sensors are often new. But after training, many independently modernize the equipment.

We monitor the operation of our stations in the Jizzakh region - uninterrupted operation during the irrigation season is especially important there. Interestingly, local operators have learned to combine several stations in a cascade, although such a scheme was not originally intended.

Economic aspects of choice

The price factor is often overestimated - in fact, for most agricultural enterprises, the payback period is more important. Our stations in the Taraz region paid for themselves in two seasons due to savings on maintenance.

Now I see a trend: customers are willing to pay more for energy-efficient solutions, especially in regions with expensive electricity. Solar panels as an additional power source are no longer exotic, but a necessity.

By the way, about https://www.lyzhihuinongye.ru - our smart irrigation project in the Chuy valley showed that automation allows you to save up to 40% of water. For arid regions, this is often more important than the initial cost of the equipment.

Development prospects

The next step will probably be the creation of a network of rental stations - many farmers are not ready to buy equipment for seasonal use. The pilot project in Syrdarya region showed good results.

Integration with weather stations is what agricultural producers really need. Last year, we tested a system for automatically adjusting the irrigation regime based on the weather forecast, reducing excess water consumption by 25%.

There are definitely prospects with mobile solutions - especially for reclamation services and emergency crews. The main thing is to maintain reliability in a compact size. This is what we are working on now.
