Fisher Pumps The Fisher Pump is a submersible centrifugal unit that does not require priming, draining or sealing.
The unique double discharge design equalizes the pressure within the case and does not require placement of a bearing at case level to hold the side load. The cantilever shaft allows bearings to be placed above the fluid level. Fisher Pumps, manufactured with one-quarter inch and three-eighths inch thick steel plate and heavy walled tubing, utilize a rugged all-welded construction.
Fisher Pumps are high volume, low pressure units requiring low horsepower requirements. Fisher Pumps can be belt driven or direct drive in various motor sizes. A belt drive pump can accept several motor sizes. In addition to the standard pump sizes offered, custom-made pumps can be manufactured to meet the customer’s needs. Beside the standard electric motor drives, Fisher Pumps offers PTO and hydraulic drive units. Floating pump units for aeration or flush water pumping are also available.

Agpro
Agpro’s new AP Series Pumps feature Agpro’s reliable oil bath drive line. This proven system utilizes large ball and roller bearings immersed in a complete oil bath retained by our simple, reliable seals. Each unit is equipped with a low oil sensing switch to prevent operation without lubricant. AP Pumps are designed for high duty cycle, continuous use on large commercial dairy operations. Overall low maintenance is a hallmark of these units. When repairs are required, the simple design and use of common parts allows quick, easy service for minimum down time.
The AP Pumps feature Agpro’s exclusive replaceable stainless steel pump housing liner, significantly increasing pump life. Agpro APA units provide vigorous, continuous mechanical agitation to stir tanks up to 30,000 gallons. This effective direct propelling agitation quickly brings settled manure particles into suspension. The heavyweight pumps for the roughest uses.

Pro-Act Microbial
This portable pump is designed to remove nutrient-rich water from the lagoon bottom. It is designed specifically to work in conjunction with the Pro-Act Microbial Manure Lagoon Treatment System. The Pro-Act Microbial system has the advantage of liquefying solids and reducing odor while building a fast-acting but gentle fertilizer. In Pro-Act treated lagoons, as manure solids are liquefied, nutrients stratify, concentrating nitrogen and phosphorus in the bottom of the lagoon that is easily pumped without the need for agitation. Farmers have the option of removing this nutrient-rich bottom water and applying it to fields needing nutrients while complying with their nutrient management plan. The lagoon top water, containing much less phosphorus, is used in irrigation, reducing manure hauling costs.
For more information on this cost-saving pump or the Pro-Act Microbial treatment system, call Pro-Act Microbial at 1.800.772.3775.
Gorman-Rupp Company
Gorman-Rupp Company manufactures the 10 & MA Series line of self-priming centrifugal solids handling pumps, flows of 670 gpm max and 85 ft head max. With the addition of our unique cutter blades and special wear plate, the pumps can be adapted to handle waste, which includes straw.
The MB series, standard with cutter blade, pumping max 1100 gpm and max 345 ft head, passing 1.5” spherical solids. The M series is designed to handle all types of animal waste and will pass 3” spherical solids. Max flows to 1300 gpm and max 106 ft. head, engine or electric driven.
Any pump can clog. Should this happen to an “M” series pump, merely remove the coverplate, clean out the pump interior, replace the coverplate, reprime and begin pumping. Downtime is reduced since suction and discharge plumbing as well as the power source is not disturbed. Engineering solutions you can count on!

Vandenberg Manufacturing
The collection, transfer and disposal of dairy waste are one of the dairy farmer’s most critical problems they face on a dairy today.
We offer anywhere from a 3hp sump pump to a 30 hp sump pump to transfer the waste water from a holding pit to do any of the following depending on which sump pump is right for the application. Some of them can transfer the waste water from one pit to another. Some of them can transfer the waste water to a seperator to separate some of the solids before going into another pit or lagoon. Some of them can transfer the waste water to use in supplying 2” sprinkler guns for the pasture. And finally some of the sump pumps can transfer the waste water for open line flooding in the pasture.

Vogelsang Pumps
Vogelsang pumps are built specifically to take on the harsh conditions of agricultural applications. Our rotary lobe pumps have high solids handling ability, giving them the power to pump liquids containing the abrasive solids that are unavoidable when dealing with liquid manure. Our pumps can operate in forward or reverse on the fly. They also can pull 25ft (8m) of suction lift and run dry.
Our pumps feature a quick-access cover to the wet end which allows easy service in place without removing the pump from the vehicle, hitch or inline assembly. You don’t need to remove connected piping which minimizes downtime due to repairs or scheduled maintenance.
The RotaCut provides the best protection for your pumps and other downstream equipment from damaging solids suspended within incoming liquids. What sets the RotaCut apart from other macerators is the large heavy duty solids collection basin. If you’re working with liquid manure, you’re going to encounter solids.
To find out more call us at 800.984.9400 or visit our website at www.vogelsangusa.com

Accent Pump
Accent Manure Pumps are the only all stainless steel pumps available on the market today. These pumps address the four major problems that are faced when pumping animal manure:
1) Corrosion – made from 304 and heat-treated 440C stainless steel, the corrosion factor is eliminated. Material life expectancy can exceed 20 years.
2) Wear – heat-treated 440C stainless steel impellers and heavy duty 304 stainless steel cast components ensure improved wear resistance, strength and durability.
3) Efficiency – cast volute cases and machined impeller components provide improved flow characteristics, translating into higher efficiencies. This means less horsepower required and lower operating costs.
4) Flexibility – interchangeability of component parts; pumps can be upgraded rather than replaced and fewer spare parts are required.
