The agricultural sector is becoming increasingly unique in its applications than ever. Dairy farmers and ranchers constantly seek new, creative ideas to operate their farms at peak efficiency. In the agriculture industry, you will often hear the term “manure lagoon,” a process designed to store and keep well-agitated thousands of gallons of animal waste for long periods until it can be reused to fertilize crops. Equipment such as the Lagoon Crawler creates a new approach to managing these ponds. A remote-controlled boat with wheels that drops into the lagoon and maneuvers around a pond, stirring up the slurry manure. Powered by a 600HP engine and 12,000GPM pump, the WPT Power Pump Drive (PPD) and WPT Pilotless® Over-the-Shaft PTO provide an effective solution for keeping pumps at their maximum capacity for multiple hours.
Mounted between the PTO and engine, the WPT Power Pump Drive offers multiple live or clutched pumps that can be arranged according to application data or design preferences. The self-contained PPD is perfect for the lagoon environment, as it requires little operator maintenance.
Manure Agitator Pumps can also be designed around the WPT Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU). Paired with the WPT Pilotless® Over-the-Shaft, the HPU will provide the user with remote engagement of the pumps and increased operating time. Doubling with the WPT Pilotless® OTS, users will benefit from a self-adjusting clutch pack and a fully contained gear system, which eliminates slipping.
Better operations, superior liquid nutrients, and enhanced crop yields are why the PPD/PTO and PTO/HPU combinations can be trusted for next-level performance and reliability. To successfully operate in the lagoon environment, it is essential to rely on a durable, powerful, and efficient pumping system. The WPT Power Pump Drive, paired with the unique benefits of the Lagoon Crawler, provides farmers the peace of mind that the job is getting done with the utmost dependability.
