The Rotoflo series of petrol-drive gear pumps
The Rotoflo series of petrol-drive mobile pump units are transportable molasses gear pumps available in two sizes:
50mm (2")
80mm (3")
Mobility is the key attraction with these pump units, along with instant molasses transfer with the turn of a key. The fully galvanised base with fork cutouts allows the pump to be shifted to the various locations where molasses pumping is required, or simply bolted down in one location to use without the need for a machine to power the pump.
A simple turn of the key gets the Kohler engine humming, and the flow rates are impressive.
The 50mm (2") pump unit shifts 100 litres of molasses a minute, while the larger 80mm (3") option pumps molasses at 200 litres a minute. This makes for very quick and easy handling of a thick fluid that is typically slow and messy to move.
The 50mm (2”) unit has an optional standpipe attachment for mess-free transfer of molasses.
The bolt-on standpipe is fitted with layflat hose, the length of which can be customised to suit your molasses cartage tank.
It also has a hook and loop to ensure the layflat hose is neatly stored away after use, and to ensure molasses doesn't drip and cause a mess.
The Rotoflo mobile pump unit coupled with the standpipe attachment will fill a molasses cartage tank in minutes, without any mess or spills. This system streamlines an otherwise time-consuming, sticky situation and takes the complications out of feeding molasses to livestock.
