Description
Patz Manure Pump – Tundra® Pro II Key Features
- Compact Design: Perfect for retrofitting and upgrading existing dairy and hog operations due to its small footprint.
- High Capacity: Equipped with the largest diameter stainless steel cylinder in the industry, the Tundra Pro II efficiently moves more manure, transferring slurry manure up to 600 feet with a pump capacity of up to 150 GPM.
- Durable Seals: The piston includes two abrasion-resistant, oil-lubricated seals that maximize pumping performance and extend the pump’s lifespan, resistant to oxygen and ozone.
- Powerful Hydraulic Cylinder: A 4” bore x 48” stroke hydraulic cylinder provides the necessary pressure to draw manure into the pump chamber during the upstroke and push it out during the downstroke.
- Inlet Flapper Valve: Features a thick neoprene seal that ensures material flows into the inlet pipe, maintaining a suction seal and acting as a check valve so manure only flows toward storage.
- Spring-Loaded Outlet Valve: Prevents backflow with a thick neoprene seal and an external extension spring closing system for easy adjustments and quick closure, activated by vacuum and manure.
- Automatic Reciprocating Valve: This one-piece, plug-and-play design requires no adjustments and self-actuates, ensuring smooth, trouble-free operation.
- Suction Inlet Kit: Includes a 16” diameter steel pipe with a 90° elbow by 8’ long, extending through the concrete wall of the reception pit and attaching to the basic unit inside the pump annex. Comes with a line coupler, 16” gate handle kit, and valve.
- Discharge Valve: Connects to the outlet of the basic unit with a lever-actuated knife valve and an adapter for the air blow system, reducing to either a 12” or 16” steel pipe.
- Discharge Pipe Kit: Attaches to the discharge valve with options for two diameters and lengths.
- Service Plates: Four large service plates allow easy access to valves for servicing, cleaning, and removing large foreign objects.
- Hydraulic Power Unit: Utilizes a foot-mounted motor coupled to a gear pump, delivering hydraulic power. The new design allows for easier installation and serviceability, compatible with single or three-phase 5 or 7-1/2 HP motors.
- Versatile Compatibility: Works seamlessly with scrapers, gutter cleaners, skid steers, and shuttle box systems.
Efficient and Energy-Saving Performance
- Long-Distance Transfer: Consistently transfers slurry manure long distances, ranging from 150 to 2000 feet.
- Energy Efficient: Operates with minimal power, driven hydraulically or mechanically.
- In-the-Barn Comfort: Ensures comfortable manure handling within the barn.
- Proprietary Seals: Features proprietary, oxygen- and ozone-resisting seals for maximum volume efficiency and extended lifespan (specific to the Tundra® LTX model).
FAQs
Q: What is a manure pump?
A: A manure pump is a specialized device used in agricultural operations to move manure, typically slurry manure, from livestock housing areas to storage facilities or fields for disposal or fertilization. These pumps are essential for managing animal waste efficiently and hygienically, reducing labor, and maintaining a cleaner environment for both livestock and workers. Manure pit pumps can be hydraulically or mechanically driven and are designed to handle the thick, viscous nature of manure, often incorporating features to prevent clogging and ensure smooth operation. They are widely used in dairy and hog farms, where large quantities of manure are produced regularly.
Q: How do you handle manure?
A: Manure is handled by using automated scrapers and pumps to collect it from the barns, transporting it to storage lagoons or pits. The manure is then treated and monitored to ensure it’s safe and nutrient-rich before applying it fields as fertilizer, promoting a sustainable and efficient farming operation.
