Brierley mans the ‘smart pumps'

BRIERLEY'S leading supplier, Australian Pump Industries has a range of ‘Smart Pumps’ offering a combination of quality, performance and value for money.

Aussie introduced their 2” and 3” Smart Pumps just as liquid fertilisers began to really take off and they’ve proved to be a real bonus for farmers.  The pump end is made from a 30% glass filled polyester material developed for NASA and are injection moulded for consistency.  They are corrosion resistant and handle virtually all agricultural chemicals from weedicides and pesticides to liquid ferts.

“We learnt a lot from working with Goldacres.  Their team were busy designing the innovative Batchmate as an adjunct to their terrific sprayer production. To think that we can work with a company of their calibre and quality was a great stimulus to us” said John Hales Aussie Pumps Chief Engineer.

Aussie Smart Pumps’ unique configuration really suited what Goldacres were setting out to do. They needed a pump that would handle liquid fertiliser, through the batching process, as well as being capable of fast filling big sprayers in the field.

OPTIONS FOR VERSATILITY

Aussie introduced the Smart Pump to provide not only a solution that would handle a range of liquids but also provide real efficiencies.

The 2” pump is available with two different impeller options. One is a high flow impeller that delivers up to 835 litres per minute. It offers a maximum head of 25 metres (approximately 35 psi in pressure). The high head impeller delivers less flow, only 720 litres per minute but has a maximum head of 37 metres, that’s approximately 52 psi.

Both configurations use a Honda GX200 6.5HP recoil start engine and will draw water through a vertical lift of 7.6 metres!

Three different elastomer options give users the ability to handle a range of chemicals. For example, EPDM elastomers are compatible with most agricultural chemicals and liquid fertilisers. Viton elastomers suit a wider range that includes diesel fuel, seawater, and some other aggressive chemicals.

3” FOR EXTRA PERFORMANCE

The company has found wide applications for both the 2” pump and more recently introduced a 3” version for applications requiring faster fill times for big sprayers.

The 3” pumps are now becoming really popular. The 3” high flow version, will deliver up to 1010 litres per minute and a maximum 25 metre head using the same engine, GX200 6.5hp Honda. The high head version of the 3” pump will produce a maximum head of 37 metres and deliver a flow up to 870 litres per minute.

Both great performances, both showing exceptionally high efficiency levels.

Aussie Pumps now offer the Aussie Smart Pumps in 2” in single phase or 3 phase configurations. The 3” pump is supplied with a big 4 KW 415-volt heavy duty motor.
