DairyEffluent, Aussie’sAnswer

WHEN Australian Pump Industries launched their ‘self-priming revolution’, it didn’t take long forpump dealersaround the countrytorealise whata giftitwas for end users.

The ability to hook up thesuction hose, simply fill the pump bowl with waterand then startthe electric motor is amajor breakthrough in convenience!

Dairyfarms were an obvious major application,whereeffluent needs to be moved out of themilkingparlourand into the tanks whereitcan be brokendown and effectively usedfor fertiliser.

The topquality,ISO 9001 compliant motor pump rangenow extends allthe waythroughtoboth high volume and high headself-priming pumps to suit almostany application

The firstworld,Aussie castironGMP motor pumps areloaded withfeatures. Theseinclude abig castironopen impeller with the ability to handlesolids in suspension, astainless steel wear plate incorporatedwithin thepumpchamber and siliconcarbide seal.

Most importantly, afront mounted clean out port makes is simple for chokes to be cleared without having to disconnect pipework or dismantle the pump

All pumpsare fitted withboth atop mounted priming plugand adrainplug which enables thepumps to be easily drainedwithout anyformofdismantling Watermanagementhas becomethe big issueondairyfarms andtoa large extent, that gets backtothe efficiency of pumps being used, their availability and of course, theireaseofoperation.

Aussie Pumps hasexpanded its selfpriming motor pump rangetoinclude 4” pumps that can handle up to 2,300lpm and heads as highas 29 metres.

Those4”pumpsare on the marketfor only $8,311+GST, afraction of the cost of moreexotic equivalents from theUS or Europe.

Aussiealsointroduced a22kW3”semi trash pump that delivers up to 87 metres head, that’s over100 psiinterms of pressure, in theformoftheirnew model B3ZPM-A/STseries.

That pump, designed originally for transferring waste effluent to the paddock,setsa newstandardfor trash pump performanceand value formoney “Weknowthatabrasioncan cause excessive pumpwear in effluentapplica- diverseasconcrete batchplantsand even explorationdrillrigs” he said.

Small But Mighty

THElatest addition is asmall utility semi trashpump (1 ½” ports) designed for jobs requiring flows of no more than 200 or 300litresper minute.

Called theB1.5KQ-A/ST series, pumps areavailable in both240 voltand 415 volt close coupled configuration

These mono blockunits areparticularly cost effective with Aussie putting them on the marketfor only $1,392 +GST

Engine Drive Trash Pumps

CLIMATE changeisout thereand can’t be ignored. That means dairies will face occasional powerissues.

Many operatorsare looking to engine drive trashpumps to coverthese emergencysituations

The pump ends carry afive year warrantyand the engine is coveredwith Honda’sthree year warranty!

The trashpumps deliver flowsup to 1,800 lpm and self-prime witha vertical lift of 7.6 meters.

Althoughdeveloped initially for constructionsite dewatering, these portable trashpumps, withthe capacity to handle sphericalsolids in suspension to half the diameter of the porting canbea godsend formovingdirty water fast.

Larger capacity 6” trash pumps,for serious effluent handlingapplications, with flows of up to 6,000lpm arealso built by thecompany.

“Thosesix inch pumpscan beused notonlyfor efficient movementoflarge quantities of effluent, but double as flood lifters in theevent of majorcatastrophic weather events” said Hales

Both the 4” and 6” trashpumps can alsoperform, liketheirelectric motor equivalents, as veryeffective aerators in wastewater settling ponds.
