Engine driven pump units from Tramspread
| Slurry
Earlier this year TRAMSPREAD, the slurry and digestate handling specialists, launched two new engine driven pump units to complement their existing range, and are pleased to report they’ re working hard to keep up with orders for both models.
T he first, launched at LAMMA’ 17 was the TRAMSPREAD‘ Fast Tow’. With an auto reverse overrun ball hitch, the fully galvanised chassis is mounted on twin braked-high speed axles, enabling the pump unit to be towed comfortably behind a 4x4. The Bauer SX2000 slurry pump is powered by a 170hp engine and controlled via a top spec SIL Vision IV remote control, available exclusively through TRAMSPREAD, giving the operator unparalleled information and control via the large colour displays on the pump and mounted in the tractor cab. TRAMSPREAD Contracting has been using the first machine as a boost pump, monitoring the allimportant inlet and outlet pressures from the tractor cab which enables the operator to fine tune the engine revs for maximum efficiency.
The second and very popular, is an evolution of TRAMSPREAD’ s original‘ Slow Tow’ pump.
A newly designed extended chassis incorporates a front mounted 140cfm compressor, eliminating the need to tow a compressor separately. All units built so far have been equipped with new 175hp Iveco engines and full SIL Vision IV remote control complete with divert valve, enabling true one man operation of an umbilical system, further enhanced with the optional facility to start and stop the compressor remotely through the Vision IV console. However, when specified with a used engine and compressor, it’ s a very cost effective option.
TRAMSPREAD engine driven pump units can be manufactured to individual requirements and specifications- from a small basic skid mount to a large twin axle‘ Contractor Pump Trailer’ with 5” delivery pipework, 2000m hose carrying capacity and 900 litre fuel tank.
