A Cost Effective Alternative to Pumping Systems

It is often thought that slurry tankers are more expensive than pumps, but this is not normally so.

With any pumping system there is also a reticulation system required. Slurry tankers enable you to apply effluent to the whole farm, so to make a full compression you would need to allow for at least 2,000 metres of pipe.

The other hidden cost of pumping systems is the installation – especially electric connects.

Typically, a comparable effluent irrigation system for a 300+ cow farm is $80,000 to $120,000. This is considerably more than the cost of a slurry tanker. Give one of our consultants a call for a FREE assessment for your farm.
