Liquid Manure Pumping Equipment Definitions

Lagoon Pumps
Agitates (stirs) lagoon (in ground liquid storage pit) or pumps liquids out of storage pit, retaining area.

 

Pit Pumps
Agitates (stirs) lagoon (vertical concrete wall liquid storage pit) or pumps liquids out of storage pit, retaining area.

 

Prop Agitators
Agitates (stirs) in ground liquid storage pit, mixing all foreign matters together. Manure solids sink to bottom of the pit when not used in a timely fashion.

 

Portable Load Stands
Manure is pumped from the storage pit into the liquid transport tanker via a layflat hose, rigged up to the portable load stand. The stand fills with manure that is then emptied into the fillport of the tanker.

 

Injection Bars
A device placed at the end of the drag hose to evenly apply manure/nutrients in field. This is placed on a tractor, which drives diagonally, ensuring 100% field application.

 

PTO (Power Take Off driven) Irrigation Pump Carts
Tractors with a simple manure inlet and outlet attached to a high pressure pump. This pushes liquids miles out, inside of irrigation layflat hose. This is a cheaper option than purchasing a tractor with complete irrigation motor setup. Options include peg launcher and bypass.

 

Irrigation Motors
An engine mounted on a cart which powers the high pressure pump used to push liquids through long distances of irrigation layflat hose.Pump is equipped with an inlet and outlet for manure.

 

Irrigation or Lay Flat Hose
Collapsible hose made for pumping liquids from 1 point to another (whether it is a lagoon or any type of liquid storage place) or directly applying to a field or platform that can hold liquids without running off. This hose can be spooled up onto a hose reel.

 

Trash Pump
Power-Take-Off (PTO) driven, this is a tractor powered unit with a suction inlet and pressure outlet for pumping liquids out of an area to transfer them into another area

 

In-line Peg Launcher
A device that allows a clean-out peg to push out the liquids in irrigation flat hose, cleaning it fully. This is placed between 2 lengths of hose, hooked together with hose couplings. It contains two flow-stop valves, one which opens to let air blow into the layflat hose, while the other is closed.

 

Semi Tank Manure Spreader
Liquid Manure Tanker pulled by a semi-truck, used to bring manure from farm to the field, injecting its nutrients into future crop land. This allows for fields far away to get manure applied in a quick and cost effective manner.

 

Tractor Top-fill Slurry Tank
Pulled by a tractor, this tank has a hopper on top for filling with manure out of a load pipe. PTO or a hydraulic unload pump applies manure evenly behind the tanker. Wide Tires on the tanker allow for less soil compaction.

 

Transfer Dump Stations
Industrial containers that hold/pump manure out into a frac tank(holding tank), irrigation motor, or portable load stand.

 

Frac Tanks
Allow for larger amounts of manure storage in field, rather than keeping the extra trucks on the roadway while. This makes manure pumping safer, not a hazard to oncoming traffic. Holds more than the transfer dumpster.

 

Frac Tank/ Dumpster
The transfer dump station built inside a frac tank allows for more storage in one unit for more versatility and less trips to and from next field or offload point.
