$52,500 fine for effluent mismanagement
A Taupiri farming company has been convicted and fined $52,500 in the Hamilton District Court for the unlawful discharge of dairy effluent into the environment.
A self-priming version of the company’s Yardmaster multi-stage pump is specifically designed for fixed installation, where high efficiency is also required. Self-priming reduces the need for manual intervention on start-up.
Chief executive Keith Cooke says customers have asked for a viable alternative to the floating frame systems.
“With the existing shore-mounted stirrer, we now combine the Yardmaster self-priming pump to bring safe accessibility to the storage system. With the Yardmaster established record of reliability and low service costs we have a product designed and made by New Zealanders for our conditions.”
Also new to the event is a redevelopment of the Yardmaster screw press separator. The latest version has a strengthened design for the body, frame and screen, and improved service access.
Cooke says the screw press’s newly worked design is entirely for the benefit of the end user, and keeps in with the Yardmaster brand promise of reliability and hard working.”
Reid & Harrison will use the Fieldays to show two complete solutions for effluent management in shore mounted and floating frame situations.
“Seeing the products in context of a complete system is important to understanding how the products integrate,” Cooke says.
