Self-priming gasoline motor pump Zanetti ZBP 100-270B BA Compact

Description

Key Features of the ZBP 100-270B BA COMPACT:

• Low head pump: This pump is ideal for applications where very high pressure is not required, but it is still important to move large quantities of water. It can be used for irrigation, drainage or transferring water from one source to another.
• Gasoline powered: Like other petrol pumps, the ZBP 100-270B BA COMPACT does not require an electrical power source, making it particularly suitable for use in remote areas, without access to electricity or where mobility is essential.
• Compact and easy to transport: The “COMPACT” version suggests that the pump is designed to be more manoeuvrable and lighter than other similar models, making it ideal for use on uneven terrain or in confined spaces.
• Inlet and outlet diameters from 1” to 4”: Depending on the precise specifications of the model, the diameter of the inlet and outlet mouth allows for a good variety of applications, from transferring small volumes of water to larger ones, based on the need.
• Versatility in use: Like other low-head motor pumps, it is useful for irrigating gardens, vegetable gardens, agricultural fields or even for emptying ponds, wells and tanks. Furthermore, the ability to move water from one point to another quickly and efficiently is a strong point.
• Durability and maintenance: Being petrol motor pumps, they tend to require periodic maintenance (such as changing the oil and cleaning the filter), but they are generally easy to maintain and are robust, ideal for use in demanding work environments.

Possible advantages of the ZBP 100-270B BA COMPACT compared to other models:

• Higher flow rate: With the 100-270B model, we have a greater water movement capacity than the ZBP 80-200 BA, which makes the pump even more useful in larger irrigation contexts or for moving larger volumes of water.
• Compactness: Despite the potentially higher performance, the compact design makes the 100-270B model more practical for easy transportation and for use in limited spaces.

Key technical features:

• Pump type: Self-priming
  The pump is designed to be self-priming, which means that it does not require an initial filling of water to start the flow. It is ideal for applications where the water source is not constantly visible or easily accessible.
• Suction and discharge diameter: 100 mm (4”)
  The 100 mm (4”) diameter for both the suction and discharge allows for a significant flow rate of water, making it suitable for working with medium to large volume flows.
• Suction height: 7 metres
  The ability to draw water from up to 7 metres deep is good for many applications, such as draining wells or removing water from low places.
• Maximum head: 25 metres at zero flow
  The maximum head of 25 metres means that the pump can lift water to this height when there is no flow (at zero flow). This is a good feature for transporting water over long distances or for irrigation at greater heights.
• Maximum flow rate: 1420 litres per minute at zero head
  The maximum flow rate of 1420 litres per minute means that the pump can move a considerable amount of water in a short time when there are no obstacles

Engine and Performance

• Petrol engine model (KW): ZBM 270 B COMPACT – 6 kW
  The 6 kW petrol engine provides good power to power the pump and ensure high performance, with solid reliability for long working sessions.
• Starting: Self-recoil
  The self-recoil starting system makes starting the motor pump quick and easy, without the need for manual starting or complicated procedures.
• Oil warning device: Yes
  The oil warning device is a safety feature that warns the user in the event of low oil level in the engine. This helps prevent engine damage due to insufficient lubrication.
• Battery: No battery
  There is no battery, as the engine runs on petrol and starts via the self-recoil system.

Physical and capacity characteristics

• Tank capacity: 4.2 litres
  The 4.2 litre tank allows for good operation for several hours before needing to be refuelled, making the motor pump suitable for medium-duration jobs.
• Dimensions: 560 x 475 x 435 mm
  The relatively compact dimensions (560 mm long, 475 mm wide, 435 mm high) allow for easy manoeuvrability and transport, while maintaining a good level of power and performance.
• Dry weight: 31 kg
  The weight of 31 kg is quite low for a pump of this power, making it easy for a single person to carry.

Material and Durability

• Pump material: Aluminium
  The pump is made of aluminium, a corrosion-resistant material, which makes it durable and suitable for treating clear water (water without sand or heavy debris that could damage it).
• Fittings kit: Yes
  It comes with a fittings kit, so that the user can easily connect the pump to the suction and delivery pipes.

Intended use

• Intended use: Clear water
  This pump is specifically designed for the treatment of clear water, such as that of rivers, lakes or reservoirs, and is ideal for irrigation, drainage or transfer applications in agricultural, gardening or construction environments.

Conclusions

The ZBP 100-270B BA COMPACT is a powerful and versatile pump, offering good flow and head capacity, suitable for moving large volumes of water at low head. Its compact size, together with the 6 kW petrol engine, make it ideal for those who need a high-performance machine, but easily manoeuvrable and transportable. It is also safe thanks to the oil alarm device and the design that facilitates maintenance.
