Applications for Neptune’s products include agricultural industries which involve metering various types of fertilizers, acids, herbicides, insecticides and fungicides. Neptune has designed its various models of metering pumps to be capable of handling products with viscosities of 5,000 cps at flow rates up to 300 GPH. The chemigation injection systems feature two types of pumps, one for clear liquids and light suspensions and a second which is designed for think fluids and light slurries. All of these pumps feature Teflon diaphragms and Viton O-rings, and 316 stainless-steel, PVC or Kynar wetted parts, which withstand almost any chemical including acids and disinfectants. All pumps are bi-directional, eliminating the need to set rotation when moving and sharing between fields
The Chemigation systems have been designed for the application of herbicides, fungicides, insecticides and other strong chemicals. The chemical tanks have a sloped bottom for complete drainage and ease of cleaning and are fitted into double-wall containment and with double wall injection lines to protect the environment. A cover shields the pump, piping and electrical controls from the elements and excludes rain and debris which allows 100% reclaim of uncontaminated chemical in the event of a spill or broken line.
Neptune can be found at Stand 2608 at Ag Connect Expo 2011, 8-10 January 2011, at the Georgia World Congress Centre in Atlanta, GA.
