Watson-Marlow Bredel Launches Abrasive Sand-Manure Pump For Dairy Farms

SPX Pump Ideal for Sand-Manure Separation

Watson-Marlow Bredel, a manufacturer of peristaltic pumps, launches its abrasive-duty SPX Sand-Manure pump, which is ideal for the transfer and separation of sand and manure, allowing the dairy farmer to recycle sand for bedding and utilize manure for fertilization.

The SPX has no moving parts in the product zone and the pump rotor never touches the sand, so the highly abrasive nature of the product does not affect pump life. Advanced hose technology enables the SPX to generate tremendous suction lift and pump viscous manure and sand dependably over a long period of time. In addition, the SPX minimizes dilution water use so operating costs remain low.

Watson-Marlow Bredel's hose pumps are virtually maintenance-free, with no expensive seals to replace, no check valves to clog and no rotors and stators to wear out. Unlike other pump types, the SPX's pump life is unaffected by the highly abrasive nature of sand and manure. With its self-loading design, hose replacement is quick and easy. The combination of these features makes the SPX an enduring solution for processing abrasive and corrosive materials.

Every Watson-Marlow Bredel peristaltic pump is an inherent metering pump with repeatability at 99.5%. Many models include integral digital drives and displays in washdown enclosures. These self-priming pumps accommodate flow rates from 0.1 microliter to 350 gpm, and are extremely durable, withstanding pressures up to 232 psi. There are no internal universal joints, valves, dead corners, or glands to impede flow, and these pumps are reversible for back-flushing lines. They can also run dry indefinitely without damage and provide up to a 30' suction lift.
