Technical drawings
PRESENTATION
This manual of technical drawings is part of the rope pump technology transference
programme. It has as its goal to show in a clear and detailed manner the essentials
of each component of this useful hand pump.
In addition to the current manual, the programme prepared manuals of the family well
rope pump and the community well rope pump. Their respective front page is shown in
the back of this manual.
Each component is presented here with its corresponding measures, a list of all the
necessary production materials, and complementary technical information.
In March 1996, the Governments of Nicaragua and Switzerland - through COSUDE - signed
a new three-year bilateral cooperation agreement by which the INAA-COSUDE programme
activities are to continue for the 1996-1998 period . Within the framework of this
agreement, the transference of rope pump technology seeks to promote rope pump production
at the regional and international levels. The Technology Transfer Division of the
Rope Pump Company will be in charge of carrying out the aforementioned production
activities. The Division is provided technical consultancy services through the Dutch
Ecumenic Development Cooperation Organization known as "Servicio Ultramar"
("Overseas Services") or DOG (for "Dienst Over de Grenzen").
This is an easy-to-understand document and is aimed at future producers, cooperation
organizations working in the field of water and sanitation, and other persons interested
in the rope pump technology.
Together with the rope pump production photomanual and the document "Experiences and
Tolerances", this manual provides all the information necessary to carry out technology
transference activities at the international level.
This Manual has been prepared by the Technology Transfer Division of the Rope Pump
Company. It can be freely reproduced.
Los Cedros, Province of Managua, Nicaragua. 4 August 1997.
