A customised trolley-mounted slurry chopper pump, designed and built by Landia, is on its way to the Solomon Islands in the South Pacific.
The chopper pump will have to pump from several different chambers containing pig slurry for distances of up to 80 metres.
Utilising the Landia chopper pump with its externally mounted blades elevates the need for separate mixing due to the vigorous mixing action created by the spinning knife directly in front of the large pump inlet.
Landia UK & Eire Director, Hugh Vaughan, commented: “This is a very welcome new order from the other side of the world, where just like here, some farmers have the same old annoying, time-consuming and costly problems of pumps that block up. With our proven chopper pump, which is in use all over the UK and Europe, this will no longer be the case. We have also provided a bespoke trolley system to suit the exact requirements of this particular pig farmer in the Solomon Islands”.
Easy to use by simply lifting a couple of slats or manhole to allow the chopper pump to be winched down into the slurry, the 5.5kw unit (1500rpm) can be lowered with ease into each chamber.
This suitably balanced trolley-mounted Landia slurry pump is also very easy to manoeuvre between tanks and buildings.
Situated in the South Pacific between Papua New Guinea and Vanuatu, the Solomon Islands has a population of about 550,000 on its archipelago of 992 tropical islands and atolls, scattered in a gentle curve.
