PUMPS

At Pacific Dairy Centre we run into many pumping scenarios. Manure= pumping can be affected by: thickness, bedding, distances, pipe size, = ; sand abrasion, depth, consistency, migration, agitation, horse power, sep= aration, volume...

All of the above can affect or determine the kind of pump we would= recommend in a given situation. Choosing the right manure pump for the rig= ht job can make the difference in success or failure. The following is a li= st of pumps that Pacific Dairy Centre sells and services:

Houle Agi Pumps, Houle Dairy Pumps, Houle Maxi Pumps, Houle = Flush Pumps, Houle Piston Pumps, Doda Chopper Pumps, Halco Pressure Pumps, = Cornell Pressure Pumps, Berkley Water Pumps, Gorman Rupp Volume Pumps, G.I.= W. Sand Pumps

Give us a call to help with an analysis of which pump would work b= est for you.
