Dispenser expert offers lightning turnaround

Written by 

SINGH’S ENGINEERING Services, manufacturers of the Se-Tech line of inline dispensers, had two new products on display at the National Fieldays. These were the transport case and a manifold/sub-frame assembly, simplifying installation of the dispenser.

 

Se-Tech inline dispensers are used to dose water soluble chemicals, minerals and nutrients into water lines, reducing or eliminating the requirement to drench whilst ensuring  stock health is maintained. The dispensers use no electricity and are powered by water flow at pressures of between 10 and 210psi. They can be mounted wherever convenient, generally on the walls of farm dairies or pump sheds, where chemicals are readily to hand for the dispenser.

Annual servicing is recommended to maintain accuracy. 

“We service dispensers from all over New Zealand and offer a same-day and even while-you-wait turnaround (if booked ahead). Our focus is on maximising availability of the unit to the farmer,” says general manager of Singh’s Engineering Services, Hurb Singh.

Farmers have traditionally used a variety of materials to pack and send the dispensers to the Hamilton factory for servicing. To simplify shipping, Singh’s Engineering have released a lightweight, rigid, reusable transport case, which accommodates all sizes of Se-Tech dispensers. Units are pinned into it and lock firmly into place. 

“The cases save a lot of transit damage, time wasting and due to their light weight and rigidity, are cheaper to ship than most other packaging options.”

Singh’s Engineering Services offer a 20% discount on the cases when ordered with a service. 

Meanwhile, available for the first time at the National Fieldays, was Singh’s latest development for mounting and alignment of the dispenser and manifold assembly.

The manifold with integral alignment bracket simplifies installation as it allows the dispenser and manifold to be initially hung from a single pivot. This ensures levelling, mounting and then connection of the installation to the water supply is achieved quickly and efficiently.

As the manifold is a structural member of the sub-frame, rigid joints to existing pipework can  be made without concern for movement or flexing.

“Removal of the dispenser for servicing is simplified – just undo the mounting screws and manifold clamps to remove the dispenser. When replacing, reverse this procedure and the sub-frame locates the dispenser and the manifold even before bolting into place. Everything maintains alignment, ensuring sealing and maximum dispenser life” says Hurb.

The pictured model is for the 50mm (2” B.S.P.) dispenser and manifold: a 32mm version is under development at present.
