Washdown nozzle opens floodgate to sales

New hydrofan washdown nozzles launched four months ago are selling in numbers exceeding expectations, says Peter Reid, director of Numedic.

“Dairy farmers are seeing how this nozzle can save water, electricity and time” he says.

Water savings of up to 70% are a notable benefit -- by using less from the farm water source and less in the yard. This has a cumulative effect on power savings and cuts the quantity of effluent that needs to be pumped onto land.

The nozzle also save time, Reid says.

The company says comments on its Numedic Facebook page show farmers keen to save time and money.

Other industries are now using the nozzle -- freezing works, truck washing facilities and also councils for washing their mowers. Continuing design work will fit the nozzles for specific uses.

Mining companies in Alaska and South Africa have also requested samples for trial. The nozzles have so far been exported to Chile, Australia and South Africa.

Says Reid, “Farmers changing to the Hydrofan nozzle can keep more money in their pocket.”

Numedic is an accredited company in farm dairy effluent system design.
