New variable length slurry pump developed by GEA

A NEW slurry pump that suits all pits as it can adjust to varying lengths has been developed by GEA.

Its Super Slider Pump is a new 8-inch, adjustable-length, highly versatile manure pump, specifically designed for use by dairy, pig and beef farmers with multiple pits and by contractors.

It is available in two depth ranges; 8ft to 12ft (2.44m to 3.66m) and 10ft to 16ft (3.05m to 4.88m). The sliding feature of the pump frame means that one pump can replace two or three other pumps, thereby reducing costs and increasing efficiency.

The Super Slider Pump is equipped with GEA’s exclusive dual nozzle design, enabling better and safer manure pit management. The lower nozzle sweeps sediments from the bot- tom of the pit while the upper nozzle agitates and disperses the slurry to produce an even spread of nutrients.

For extra safety and reducing the chances of gas in enclosed tanks, both nozzles can be individually closed to enable slurry to be pumped safely from the pit as the liquid falls.

Furthermore, GEA has equipped the Super Slider Pump with intuitive nozzle and rotative valve position indicators to enable the operator to monitor the direction of the discharge throughout the process.

The pump is available in 540rpm and 1,000rpm versions and is currently available in the extended tilting three-point hitch, new tilting two-point hitch and trailer mounting configurations.
