These products are precisely manufactured under strict supervision using best quality metal. Known for unmatched quality, high efficiency and hassle-free operations, these products are highly demanded among the industrial clients.

Technical Description:
Hydraulic Ram is used for pumping a small quantity of water at the high head when a large quantity of water at the small head is available. It operates on the principle that if flowing water is suddenly brought to rest in a long pipe, a phenomena known as water hammer occurs, wherein a pressure wave travels along the pipe. This principle is used in the Hydraulic Ram to pump water. The set-up consists of a box incorporating pulse and non-return valves and a supply reservoir on a stand which is fed by the overhead tank. An air vessel above the valve chamber smoothes cyclic fluctuations from the Ram delivery. Different pressure may be applied to the pulse valve to change the closing pressure and hence the operating characteristic.
