Electromix System

Home Products Underground Manure Pumps Electromix System

The Electromix System is designed to homogenize liquid and solid manure into a slurry before evacuating it on long distances through smaller PVC pipe*.

* The addition of liquid drawn from storage or grey water is required. Straw bedding up of to 40 lbs per 10 milking cows a day. Performance varies according to installation, manure consistency, volume and type of bedding.

A	3" or 4" hydraulic cylinder according to needs
B	Low pressure mechanical reversing system ensuring a smooth operation.
C	Flapper shafts mounted on brass bushings and lubricated with remote grease lines.
D	6" air damper.
E	The agitator is fully directional ensuring thorough agitation.
F	7.5 HP motor with belt drive.
G	6" gate valve at discharge.
H	12 feet diameter steel reception pit (1/4" thick).
I	90° heavy steel elbow to connect the PVC evacuation line.
J	6" gate valve with insulated handle on liquid return line.
K	24" propeller with knife kit to shred long bedding. Displacement: 12,000 US GPM @ 300 RPM. Performance varies according to installation, manure consistency, volume and type of bedding.
L	Remote grease lines lubricating the gearbox 3-seal mechanism.

Working Principle

The intake and discharge flappers are activated by vacuum and by manure. Shown beside with a standard base for installation of the suction pipe close to the reception pit wall.

Depth of suction = 10 feet maximum.

A	Oil lubricated seal.
B	Discharge flapper.
C	Intake flapper.

Siphoning cycle.

Evacuation cycle.

Optional floor-mount base with 90° suction elbow installed 36" from the reception pit wall.

Designed for a floor-mount installation beside a reception pit or in a recess when the reception pit is more than 10 feet deep.

A	Access to 90° suction elbow.
B	8" steel suction pipe (10 feet maximum).
C	Reception pit floor.
D	90° suction elbow.
E	Pit wall.

Liquid Return Line
The liquid return line drains the liquid available from storage to the reception pit in order to minimize the addition of water, thus reducing the volume of storage. Grey water (approximately 6 US gallons per cow per day) is usually sufficient to condition the manure when draining liquid back from storage. In some cases, there may be no need for the liquid return line if there is a sufficient amount of grey water or urine.

A	Barn cleaner.
B	Reception pit.
C	Electromix agitator.
D	Electromix pump.
E	Storage.

F	Safety gate valves with insulated handle and PVC adaptors.
G	Evacuation line.
H	Liquid return line.
I	45° discharge.
J	Vertical intakes.

PVC Evacuation Line Requirement

Evacuation Distance	Evacuation Line Diameter
Up to 200 feet	6"
Over 200 feet	8"

Option on the Electromix Pump

The hydraulic agitator for 8" suction pipe reduces the accumulation of solids and the risk of obstruction at the inlet pipe.
