- pumps allow farmers to spread effluent further without the nuisance of costly upgrades to power supply, says Shazad Ibnul, general manager of Mono Pumps New Zealand.
Nov Mono, a prominent global manufacturer of PC pumps, has supplied water and effluent pumps to New Zealand farmers for almost 40 years. Its current range of PC effluent pumps has been on the local market for five years.
Ibnul says Mono is the only PC pump manufacturer directly serving New Zealand farmers. It has a network of dealers providing service and support nationwide.
Mono’s dairy effluent pumps offer substantial cost savings, the company says. With a 13L/s capacity and discharge pressure up to 120m from their standard range, Mono eliminates the need for a series of pumps when irrigating paddocks further away from the pond.
“With Mono, farmers can get the effluent spread further and at a consistent rate, so there’s generally no need to spend on upgrading the power supply,” Ibnul told Dairy News. “So, based on comparisons with centrifugal effluent pumps that deliver a similar performance, a Mono PC option will cost less to operate.”
Priced from $11,000, Mono PC pumps come with cast iron body, hard chrome-plated rotor and nitrile rubber stator.
Ibnul says no one in New Zealand has more experience in PC pump technology than Mono. “This is what Mono is known for. We’re one of the first PC pump manufacturers in the world.”
He says the Mono brand is synonymous in New Zealand with water pumps powered by diesel, electricity and solar. “New Zealand has trusted Mono to pump, screen and grind its wastewater for nearly 40 years.”
Ibnul says Mono dairy effluent pumps use up to 75% less power than a centrifugal pump. With low running speeds, there is reduced wear and therefore longer pump life.
The pumps are surface mounted, easier to clean and less hazardous to maintain. They may be dismantled on site, so there’s need to send them away for repair, saving farm downtime.
