Stihl Launches BT140, Its First Battery-Powered Auger
With battery tools becoming more widespread and more importantly, productive and reliable, it was only time before we saw augers or post-hole borers.
It has been a year of new products and innovation at Numedic, the Rotorua-based manufacturer and exporter of farm dairy effluent equipment.
Apart from bringing the K2 King Cobra under their umbrella, which has received support from customers and dealers nationwide, Numedic has also developed a new range of effluent stirrers for tanks, sumps and ponds
Precisely engineered and made from high quality components and fully hot dip galvanised for longevity in the harsh effluent environment, regardless of your storing solution, Numedic has a suitable stirrer.
The range consists of the PondMix, suitable for various size ponds. With the boom length up to nine meters, and a highquality industrial mixer head, this stirrer provides maximum efficiency and stirring effectiveness with less energy required. The boom can be rotated and adjusted, and incorporates the suction pipe and a flexible hose to the pump, eliminating the need for a separate suction hose. The convenient sectional design also makes the boom easier and less costly to freight.
Numedic’s TankMix - for above the ground tanks. Designed to reach over the wall, this mixer features the same high quality mixer head, a sturdy galvanised frame and smart design features, making it easy to use. The mixer head can be directed up and down, and rotated, to direct the stirring effluent jet to break up the solids, or the crust. The special TankMix can also be made for tanks and sumps where both can be stirred at the same time by the same stirrer.
In addition, the Sump- Mix is ideal for stirring sumps, providing the optimum homogeneous effluent, ready to irrigate or transfer, and eliminating the crusting.
All the mixers are easy to install, operate and maintain.
A smart, easy to install effluent system consisting of the Numedic products will ensure compliance, maximise your return on investment and the best use of effluent on your farm.
