Why PTO Stirrers are a Contractor’s Best Friend

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 […]
PTO vs Electric Stirrer

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 […]
What Size Pond Stirrer do I Need?

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 […]
How Often Should an Effluent Pond be Stirred?

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 […]
Effluent Management Predictions For 2023

A few things we didn’t see coming in 2022 were: So what can we see happening in 2023? Innovative Compliance Solutions While in some instances compliance measures provide opportunity to futureproof and improve farm operations, there are also instances where changes need to be made simply to tick boxes. In either instance, farmers will be […]
Electric Pond Stirrer Best Practices

Installation The electric pond stirrer should be installed as close as practically possible to the pond with the base as low as possible to ground level (no higher than the manufacturers recommendation). The aim is to have the stirrer angled as horizonal as possible into the pond, hence longer stirrers are often the recommended option. […]
Why Horizontal Pond Stirrers Are Recommended

The aim of stirring your effluent is to keep solids in suspension ready for pumping out. Why? Because there are several unwanted issues that occur if you allow solids to settle: This leads to why we recommend shore mounted or PTO pond stirrers over floating vertical shaft stirrers…because they are far more effective in keeping those solids […]
What Makes a Good Propeller

This is important not just for providing maximum nutrient value for spreading over pasture, but also for maintaining council compliance and keeping your equipment running smoothly. There are a lot of things that go into building a good slurry stirrer, but one of the key components is the propeller, so what makes a good propeller? […]
Where is the Best Place to Stir From?

Electric shore mounted stirrers, or PTO stirrers provide the right angle to get the whole pond swirling and keep the sediment from settling at the bottom of the pond, but if you really want to maximise efficiency the placement and positioning of the stirrer is also important. Where is the Best Place to Stir From? […]
How to Maximise the Value of Your Effluent Pond Nutrients

Stir well, achieve more If effluent is left sitting in a pond or tank the solids will inevitably sink to the bottom and crust and debris will form on the top, separating out the essential nutrients. To maximise the value of your effluent it is vital the effluent is thoroughly mixed prior to pumping to […]
How to Choose the Right Effluent Pond Stirrer

Let’s find you the right pond stirrer… First things first lets look at how to choose the right effluent pond stirrer. Starting with which type of stirrer you need, PTO or electric. Then we can get onto deciding on size. For pond or above ground tank effluent storage, you’ll generally be choosing between an electric […]
