Mobile liquid manure pump
A contractor was looking for a mobile pump to transfer liquid manure and fermentation substrate. The pumps needed to be used in tanker vehicles in various agricultural operations. It was important for the contractor to have a compact pump that could deal with high pumping volumes and that was resistant to solids. The customer opted for a Börger Rotary Lobe Pump. Besides fulfilling the above-mentioned criteria, the key to the decision was that Börger GmbH carried out all the work from the planning of the mobile unit, the design and the construction of the trailer, and the controls. This ensured that all the customer’s requirements could be taken into account, and a custom-made mobile unit that fulfilled the contractor’s demands was made.
To operate the unit from all sides, it was fitted with an electronic remote control (Pyxis / Aquarius). The unit can be started and stopped with the remote control. Furthermore, the speed and direction of transfer can be easily changed.
The built-in transfluid power shift transmission ensures a long service life for the gears and drive in reversing mode. The customer is extremely pleased with the Börger mobile unit. The high pump output, reversing control, and remote control operation have already significantly increased the unit’s productivity compared to the unit used before by the customer.
Automated filling process with radio remote control
The filling station is both stationary and as well as mobile. Due to the help of a wireless M2M remote control, the filling process is fully automated.
Remotely activated slurry pump
The filling station comprises a pump that pumps out the slurry from the pit and a separator that filters it. After filtration, the pump fills the slurry in the tank. When the farmer or the contractor comes with the empty tank to the filling station, he docks the suction arm of the slurry tank to the pump. Thereafter, he activates the slurry pump with the compact hand-held transmitter. The pump starts filling the slurry into the tank.
Communication between the radio control receiver and transmitter
Once the slurry tank is full, a sensor sends an input signal to the M2M transmitter mounted on the slurry tank. This M2M transmitter then automatically, with the help of wireless communication, sends a signal to the M2M wireless receiver that is mounted on the pump. Once the signal is received, the pump gets turned off automatically.
No maintenance requiring cables
Without cumbersome and fragile cables, the whole filling process is wirelessly managed. This provides the user of the slurry tank the necessary time savings as he not need to monitor the filling process himself. This gives him the flexibility to go away from the pump with complete peace of mind!
Aquarius M2M system
The Aquarius/Aquarius M2M system is especially suitable for this application since the electronics of the receivers are 100% waterproof and are protected against the effects of dirt, moisture, and strong ammonia vapors. It is, therefore, an industrial wireless system that is perfect for this application.
