Mink Farm, Netherlands
		The project: Pumping out faeces from a mink farm Executing companies: Distrimex Pumpen b.v., Netherlands Van Mierlo Pompentechniek b.v., Netherlands The problem: The faeces of the animals are gathered in a slurry tank. This tank is emptied from time to time.
Our solution: A wastewater pump of the type 100B43.7 equipped with a canal impeller, duck foot bend and guide rails was installed in the slurry tank of the mink farm. The B series proved very effective in cattle breeding and is used quite often for keeping pigs and piglets.
In the event of abrasive and corrosive utilization, stronger wear and tear will take place naturally in certain components. With regards to the above application wear and tear can take place mainly in impeller, suction plate, shaft sleeve, oil ring, mechanical seal, pump casing, strainer, motor casing and discharge coupling. Depending on the working conditions the lifetime of those parts might vary significantly and can be shorter than the legal warranty period.
