Roto Rainers
Ingeniously simple, Briggs award winning Roto Rainers provide an efficient, low cost method of disposing thin slurry and dirty water. Application rates of 5mm or less can be achieved with all models to fit in with dirty water disposal guidelines. As fluid moves into the boom it starts to revolve, tripping the automatic start mechanism. The revolving boom drives a toothed drum on which a wire rope is wound. By anchoring the rope at the end of the run the machine is pulled towards the anchor and travels along until an automatic stop mechanism puts it out of gear.
- The boom’s low height keeps drift and smell to a minimum.
- The unit has a low energy and low pressure requirement.
- A choice of up to five travel speeds allows application rates to suit conditions.
- 3 models are available (Model 2, 5 and 10) giving runs from 150 to 300 metres and widths between runs of 18 metres to 24 metres.
- Simple, reliable auto start and stop mechanisms are standard
- A range of pumpsets is also available.
- Galvanised finish for long life
- Automatic shut off valve is standard
A choice of pumpsets is available for the whole range of Roto Rainers, ensuring the pump can be sized correctly for each site. Model 2 and Model 5 pumps are available in 3-phase or single phase version and can pump from 2-6 m3/hr. Model 10 pumps can be supplied with 5.5 kW motors, capable of pumping 12 m3/hr or 7.5 kW motors which can pump up to 16m3/hr.
All Roto Rainer pumpsets are based around the well proven British built Mono progressive cavity pump and the unit is designed to give reliable service with a minimum of maintenance. For example, a mechanical seal is used in place of traditional ‘packed’ seals, avoiding the need for routine seal maintenance.
Standard features include a thermostatically controlled heater for frost protection, a float switch to start and stop the pump automatically, a stainless steel pressure switch gauge which shows the running pressure and stops the pump (if there is a burst pipe, blockage, or if the Roto Rainer has finished the run), a non return valve, and a digital display showing pump status.
