Tower agitator

kevthegaff

I was going to buy a wall mounted agitator that's fixed on concrete will ring a few lads in the morning. Are the effective? And at what level should I put it, tank is wide with 2 rings and holds 170k gallons

I have a similar tank but 3 rings high. 18m? I put in an internal pump agitator connected to the PTO that was supposed to be OK for agitating but it will only work properly when the tower is filled to two rings so I have to drop it down by a third before it can be agitated properly. That means constant agitating and spreading in spring which is a bit of a pain.

I've heard of lads hiring in a pump with a strong pipe and breaking up the crust with a moveable nozzle attached to the top of the tank but I haven't seen one working so I have no idea how effective it is.

3 ring 300k gallon one here with built in pto agitator. Being very kind I'd call it an ornament. We use a slurry pump to recirculate slurry to break crust and agitate properly

There is a company over in England that make agitator that reaches over the top of the tower and claims that it will break up crusts.

Storth engineering is there name I think

Mooooo

Contractors here draw slurry out the bottom and pump in the top while rolling out the pipe. Wouldn't be putting thick slurry in ours tho mainly parlour and sometimes pump a share of water out of concrete thank in winter which takes slurry from most of the sheds
