A Nevada pond stirrer is a great investment to help you make the most of your dairy effluent. Find out how regular stirring can actually save you a heap of money by improving the nutrient levels of your effluent and maximising your storage capacity.

and saved over $20K on fertiliser.
When using the jet method, it only stirs the bottom of the tank and not the top. Jets can get blocked and a high volume pump, that uses a lot of electrical power is required to operate the jets. Over-The-Wall Effluent Stirrers The best approach to stir an above-ground tank is with an over-the-wall stirrer. […]
Nevada PTO Pond Stirrers are designed to be robust and strong, which enables contractors to break up crust with equipment that is durable for the job. With a Nevada Typhoon™ propeller, the stirrer creates a strong thrust to quickly break up the material and thoroughly mix the pond for pumping. Efficient Mixing Proper mixing is […]
Beneath The Surface Every dairy farm requires a minimum amount of effluent storage, which can be compromised without the right equipment in place. Crust can form on the surface which is visible on the pond, but what is more important is what is happening beneath the surface. If heavy solids are not all brought up […]
Power availability If there is an electric pumping system with power availability at the pond, then an electric effluent pond stirrer is the advised choice for effluent management. The main reason is due to the ability to program the system to automatically stir by itself, which saves time for other tasks on the farm and […]
Wondering why the effluent ponds on your farm are getting crusty? Effluent crust is particularly a problem during the summer. The organic matter can dry out quickly, leaving weeds to germinate and grow to form a thicker crust. In the past, the traditional method was to manage the crust by allowing the biology in the […]
The cost of a new slurry stirrer depends on the make and model required for your farm. Nevada’s electric, PTO and over-wall options all utilise the same quality features developed for long lasting performance, so the price just depends on what you need. To give you can idea, these are some prices as at August […]
Pond stirrer length and power The two main aspects to consider are the length of the pond stirrer and the power capacity. The length of the stirrer is determined by the overall size of the pond and the batter of the pond wall. If the angle of the wall slopes down at a 45-degree angle […]
To spread effluent further down the farm, Alan invested in a Nevada 12,800L Tandem Slurry Tanker to complete his effluent system design.
Why It’s Important To Stir Effluent Stirring your effluent pond storage thoroughly allows for everything to stay in suspension. This keeps solids from crusting on the top and developing weed growth, or creating a hard layer at the bottom that can become almost impossible to break up. It is especially important to stir thoroughly if […]
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 […]
