Fliegl offers effluent solutions
Founded in Germany as recently as 1977, today, the Fliegl Group employs more than 1100 workers, offering an expansive range of transport solutions, from their base in Bavaria.
Built around a tandem-axle box section trailer, the unit comprises a 900L priming/holding tank initially primed via a vacuum pump driven by a small Honda engine.
The main pumping unit, a Bauer SX2000, has 150mm inlet and twin 125mm delivery outlets, and offers a typical output of 120-130m3/hour depending on material consistency and terrain. This unit is driven by a reconditioned John Deere engine typically sourced from a combine breaker in the UK.
At the front of the unit cradles carry the twin spool of delivery pipe, each with a capacity of 1000m of 100-125mm pipe or 600m of 150mm. Connection is then onwards to a tractor linkage mounted dribble bar assembly in the paddock.
For one man operation an optional remote-control system for the pumping station is offered.
Once the field work is completed, a 170m3 compressor system takes care of blowing out the lines, before the move to the next job.
