New high
flow slurry
pump
Hi-Spec Engineering will be
using this year’s Livestock
Event to launch the new
HS385 high capacity slurry
pump.
he HS385 slurry
pump is a
completely new
addition to the HiSpec range of
paddle and vertical
auger diet feeders, slurry tankers
and muck spreaders, Kompactor
‘compaction/push-off’ trailers and
slurry pumping equipment.

The HS385 is fully galvanised as
standard
Unlike the existing lower
capacity, three-point mounted
HS450 pump, the new HS385 is a
completely new design that is twopoint lower linkage mounted and is
hydraulically raised and lowered
into the tank.

The new high capacity HS385
pump is designed to meet the need
of contractors and larger livestock
farmers. Designed for use with
tractors of at least 110hp, the
HS385 has an output of around
3800 gallons per minute (17,000
litres/minute), so is ideal for use in
larger stores and tanks.
The design of the new HS385
slurry pump is based around a
heavy duty support frame and
incorporates a safety platform to
fully cover the tank when lowered
in the working position. The design
is such that unlike some two-point
pumps, even when raising and
lowering the HS385, there is no
need to remove the PTO shaft.
The HS385 is fully galvanised as
standard and fitted with a quick
change top fill outlet. The spout is
quickly and easily adjusted and
operated over a wide arc for
thorough agitation and mixing.
As an option, the HS385 can
also be specified with a hydraulic
extension function that allows the
working depth to be quickly and
easily set from the tractor seat.
