www.porknews.com.au Australian Pork Newspaper, March 2025 %u2013 Page 11AUSSIE Pumps is a leading supplier of pumps capable of handling large volumes of effluent at the most economical cost. The business%u2019 latest venture was to upgrade its big 6%u201d model B6XR-A.That is a large selfpriming centrifugal cast-iron pump made to Aussie%u2019s standards in northern Italy.The machines are available in either a 11 or 15kW close-coupled two-pole heavyduty motor, with a capacity of slightly over 4000LPM.The pump is a low head but high volume, ideal for moving liquid waste as well as serving as a very handy liquid aeration system.Like all of Aussie%u2019s GMP self-primers, the machine is equipped with a big open cleanout port that enables chokes to be cleared without disassembling pipework.Aussie Pumps product manager Chamara Fernando said: %u201cThat%u2019s a huge advantage over conventional end-suction pumps, often found in piggery applications.%u201dThe big heavy-duty cast-iron pumps are also designed to be more efficient, with major savings in operations in terms of reliability and power consumption.%u201cThese pumps are made to our specific requirements based on research we%u2019ve done with piggeries across Australia,%u201d Mr Fernando said.%u201cTalking to the people involved has been a revelation, enabling us to better understand the application and to come up with informed ideas for long term reliability and longevity of the products.%u201dThe big 6%u201d pump is only one of Aussie Pumps range, where the products start at only 1 1/2%u201d and 2%u201d semi-trash pumps.They go all the way to big 8%u201d pumps.The 8%u201d B8XR-A version will handle 8300LPM.It is powered by a 37kW two-pole motor.That pump will handle huge volumes of effluent, proving itself to be an essential aid to any high production piggery.New stainless-steel impellerHaving had some negative experiences with cavitation and, to some extent, corrosion in some of the 6%u201d pump installations, the company decided to produce a version with a 316 stainlesssteel impeller.Adding to that, it now offers a tungsten carbide mechanical seal to extend seal life.%u201cWe know it%u2019s a tough job pumping piggery waste, especially for the long hours required,%u201d Mr Fernando said.%u201cOur idea is to not only put a top-quality product on the market at a great price, but also to provide modifications as we go.%u201cThose models are based on experiences of working with piggery operators in the field.%u201dFor further information on the complete range, refer to Aussie%u2019s Pump Smart 9 catalogue.There are also top deals available in the agricultural Summer Sizzlers catalogue.Products are available from Aussie Pumps distributors all over Australia at special reduced prices for end of summer deals.Visit aussiepumps.com.au or contact the Industrial Pump division for more in-depth information on 02 8865 3500.
