DeLaval says it has updated its line of submersible pumps, making them more robust and long-lasting.
Submersible pumps are taken for granted until the day they break down, the company says.
“Submersible pumps are the forgotten heroes of many farms, pumping away water from silage tanks, pumping urine or in manure sewage tanks, pumping sewage water or excess liquids in the milking parlour.”
DeLaval offers a stainless steel pump that suits areas of high acidity such as pressed water from silage or urine drainage. The pumps are lighter than the rest of the DeLaval line, making them easier to move.
All the company’s pumps are mobile, easy to install and easy to operate. The cast-iron pumps have their motor in an oil-bath ensuring that the pump can work in tough environments without overheating.
The cast-iron pumps can also deal with thicker water and are often used in slurry pits and similarly difficult conditions. “They work efficiently and effectively, doing an extremely important job, night and day for years and years,” says Eva Ramvall, head of farm supplies at DeLaval.
“It’s critical to be able to remove sewage water, urine or liquid-rich manure on a farm, so everything can function smoothly. It’s not a glamorous product in that sense but it is an important one, which is why we emphasise the need for robust and hard-working pumps. ”
DeLaval’s newly updated line of submersible pumps is intended to improve on the pumps it has sold for many years.
“Our pumps should go unnoticed. They should just work and work and work,” says Ramvall. “Nobody wants a pump breaking down. All our pumps are easily moved but we don’t want farmers having to move them unnecessarily so we make sure they are reliable and do the job well.”
