Are you looking for a water pumping method that doesn’t rely on electricity or fuel? The hydraulic ram (often called hydram) is the ideal answer. At O.E. Manufacturing, we provide high-quality hydraulic ram systems perfect for irrigation, rural household water supply, livestock, and many other applications.
🔍 What is a Hydraulic Ram?
A hydraulic ram is an automatic water pump that uses gravity-fed water flow as its power source, without the need for electricity or fuel. It works simply: water flows through a pipe from a higher source, then a “waste valve” suddenly closes, creating a pressure surge (water hammer) that pushes part of the water upward through the delivery pipe to a higher elevation.
✅ Benefits of Hydraulic Ram
-
No Electricity or Fuel Needed
Save monthly operational costs and ideal for remote areas without reliable power. -
Eco-Friendly
Zero emissions as it doesn’t rely on fossil fuels or grid electricity. -
Low Maintenance
With only a few moving parts (valves and air chamber), it’s simple to maintain and built for durability. -
Continuous & Autonomous Operation
Can run 24/7 as long as there’s flowing water with sufficient head and flow rate.
⚠️ Requirements & Limitations
-
Requires a flowing water source with a drop (drive head). Without enough elevation difference, the pump won’t be effective.
-
High water flow may be wasted through the “waste valve.” Only part of the water is pumped to higher ground, and efficiency depends on the ratio of delivery head to drive head.
