Slurry Tankers Slurry tankers are the most flexible approach to effluent management. A slurry tanker is an all-in-one system that functions as a pump, piping system and irrigator. Depending on your equipment needs, different attachments can be sorted to match paddock size and shape. Slurry tankers are a reliable option for the majority of the […]
What to Consider Before Purchasing Competent Farm Workers Electric System: Can be more automated, reducing the need for direct involvement when effluent is being irrigated, making it ideal for farms with limited worker resource or seeking increased automation. PTO System: Requires farm workers to operate the system. Power Source Availability Electric System: The farm requires […]
If your stone trap is not maintained or set up correctly, the rest of your effluent system will suffer: Stone traps work by slowing down the effluent flowing into storage, allowing heavy solids to drop out of suspension. To do this the inlet and outlet pipes need to be staggered. Double stone traps further filter […]
What are the different types of slurry tanker loading arms? Different makes and models of slurry tanker will include different loading arms. Nevada slurry tankers include a 8in Ezi-Load auto-filling arm on models 10,000L and up, and this is an optional feature for smaller models. While the Ezi-Load filling arm suits most farmers and contractors, […]
Why Suspension is Important on a Slurry Tanker Why? Well without suspension every bump, pothole, or uneven terrain would be directly transmitted to the tank and tractor. This can lead to excessive vibrations, compromising the structural integrity of the tanker and causing unnecessary stress on components. A well-designed suspension absorbs shocks, improves stability, and ensures […]
Effluent Flow The best practice for effluent storage is for it to flow by gravity to the storage, whether it be a pond or bladder tank. This is possible with a bladder tank if there is enough fall. Gravity flow is more efficient and reliable, ensuring that effluent moves easily from the source to the […]
But the good news is that crusting inside effluent bladder tanks is not the same as in open storage. Since the bladder is closed, there is no exposure to air and sunlight, so the solids do not dry out and form a hard crust, and no weeds will grow. However, crust can still form in […]
The good news is that with the right pump, you can easily irrigate your fields and keep your effluent well-mixed, without breaking the bank on energy costs. Firstly, it’s important to note that you might need two pumps for your effluent bladder tank: one for irrigation and one for agitation. Irrigation Pump For irrigation, a […]
Understanding Your Farm When you get someone in to calculate your storage requirements make sure they have a good understanding of how your farm operates. A storage calculator will assume you take every opportunity to irrigate, which is not always the case. For example, many farmers that winter milk would prefer to have plenty of […]
Effluent bladder tanks have become one of the key components of many dairy effluent management systems. With a multitude of benefits, they allow farmers to efficiently store, manage and utilise their effluent nutrients. However, to ensure that your effluent system is functioning at its best, it’s essential to keep your effluent bladder tank properly mixed […]
Winter can be challenging enough as it is, so having some contingency measures in place can help take some of the stress off. Here are some contingency measures you can take to protect your farm: 1. Ensure council and dairy company compliance Make sure you’re compliant with both your local council and dairy company (this […]
Nevada Effluent Bladder Tanks are made from strong, tear-resistant materials that are designed to withstand the weight and pressure of the effluent they contain. Bladder tanks can actually be stronger than steel tanks with liners The unique difference between an effluent bladder tank and a steel effluent tank is the integral strength of the bladder’s […]
