Aussie Pumps chief en- gineer John Hales said, “Imagine that, a pump that can handle not only the ef- fluent-laden liquid but can pump it over a horizontal distance that could stretch for kilometres if required.”
With a waste throughput of 200-500TPY, the

• Empowers businesses to divert organic waste from landfill
That mix makes it pos- sible to pump through self- priming Aussie 3” pumps, which handle vertical heads up to 75m.
“It’s not as expensive as you’d think and to see these big stainless open- bladed impellers fitted into the pumps gives you con- fidence about their ability to handle even the most corrosive and abrasive ap- plications,” Mr Hales said.
The unit is configur- able in multiple ways to meet users’ requirements and has an optional com- post module for digestate treatment – pending con-

• Transforms organic waste into energy
Reports published by the owners suggest that for each pig on the farm, about 17 litres of liquid slurry are produced every day.
This is only possible with the application of a reliable water system.
Aussie Pumps range is all self-priming, which means the pump is not mounted below the surface of an effluent pit, but rather above, in an always visible position.
These include Honda en- gine-powered lightweight portable trash pumps, cast 316 stainless-steel pumps that will last, and nickel aluminium bronze, which can be useful in some ap- plications.
The system wound up producing 7.2 tonnes of humic solids at 35 percent dry matter, suitable for packaged garden products or fertiliser for crops.
Having the ability to ser- vice the pump without dis- connecting pipework is a massive advantage.
Aussie Pumps is also a major pressure cleaner manufacturer, building for Australian farmers in pig- geries, poultry and even cropping, and cattle and sheep livestock applica- tions.
It delivered 140,000 litres of recycled water as well as 140,000 litres of mineral- ised water used as fertiliser for field crop production.
“We achieve that by having the pump fitted with a clean-out port de- signed into the bottom of the bowl below the suction port,” Mr Hales said.
It’s a great story and a tremendous accomplish- ment.
Why self priming?
“The clean-out port can be opened in a matter of seconds, without the in- convenience of having to disconnect either suction or delivery hoses or pipe- work.”
“We know what farmers need, we know their lives have challenges and our job is to make it as easy and as safe as possible,” Mr Hales said.
