The build-up of dirty water and slurry is a problem on farms that affects areas where excess water is used or produced, such as livestock pens, washing areas and flat areas.
As the water may be contaminated by animal waste, silage effluent, or other toxins it cannot be dispersed and so is often collected in a lagoon to convert into fertiliser that can eventually be reused on the land.
However, this process takes a long time and slurry pits are extremely dangerous; creating harmful gases that can be fatal to livestock and workers. Furthermore, any new slurry storage unit must adhere to strict rules which govern where they can be built and what specification they must be built to.
These regulations can generate huge additional costs for farms and leave them liable to fines if their slurry storage tanks do not meet the specifications.
Our travelling irrigation system is designed to reduce the risks associated with slurry by safely disposing of dirty water and thin slurry on farms through a simple yet efficient pumping system.
- Low boom height which keeps smell and drift to a minimum
- Low-pressure requirement of just 2 bars and low energy usage
- Choice of 5 travel speeds to allow varied application rates
- Three models to suit your requirements
- Can also be used as a clean water irrigator
- Simple and reliable auto-start drive mechanism
- Low maintenance requirements
- Automatic shut off valve
- Floatation tyres to suit farmland
- Flexible rubber nozzles to prevent blockages
- Lightweight unit – easily moved by hand
Importantly, the application rates of the irrigation system can be capped at 5mm and the low trajectory of the throw means the height of the liquid is below 4mm, meaning the system adheres to the best practice guidelines for the application of slurry and dirty water.
