Description
The RotoRainer Model 15 effluent irrigator dragging a 150 metre length of 63 mm medium density polyethylene hose operating at a flow rate of 20m³/hr (75 gpm) with a wetted width of 35 metres, will on its fastest travel speed of 85m/hour apply effluent onto the ground at a rate of 6.7mm per pass. On the slowest travel speed of 17m/hour this applicator will apply 34 mm of effluent per pass.
Based on a 500 cow herd producing 25 cubic metre of effluent daily, for a 25 mm application this applicator would only have to operate for 1.25 hours per day.
These spreaders perform a complex task by means of a few simple mechanisms.
- The force of the effluent or water supply drives a retroaction so that the boom rotates for even spread
- The rotation of the boom provides the motive force that propels the machine, winched forwards by a simple wire attachment
- The machines are robust and versatile – more importantly they get the job done
For longevity all spreaders are hot dipped galvanised steel for ultimate protection against corrosion including parts and accessories. We also keep a full supply of parts on hand to minimise any downtime should a breakdown happen.
