Aussie Pumps reports increase in demand for engine drive 30% glass filled polyester pump

19 March 2010

The Aussie 2 in and 3in Smart pumps have 6.5HP Honda engines and are designed for handling liquid fertiliser and other agricultural chemicals

The Smart pump from Aussie Pumps is available in a 2 in configuration, producing up to 835 litres per minute flow, or a 3 in version that can generate flows of up to 1,010 litres per minute with heads as high as 37 m.

The glass filled polyester construction material of the Smart pump is impervious to corrosion generated by liquid fertiliser. Stainless steel fasteners are standard equipment and EPDM o-rings, check valves and other elastomers suitable for most ag chemical liquid applications are a standard option.

Brad Farrugia, Aussie Pumps said: “We’ve seen an increase in demand for non corrosive pumps that will handle a range of liquid fertilisers and ag chemicals safely. And with the new Honda three year engine warranty, we are building more than ever this season.”
