NOTE:
BFM, FGM, and other viscous slurries will entrain air if proper mix-
ing procedures are not followed. Ensure that the agitator blades
are completely submerged prior to the addition of this material. This
will prevent air from entering the slurry. Follow manufacturers sug-
gested rates of materials as indicated on the packaging. Generally,
this recommendation is 50 pounds of material to 125 gallons of
water.
Fertilizer – Cut open the fertilizer bag and dump contents into slurry tank.
All other additives - Consult with manufacturer for proper loading technique.
7. When all materials are loaded and in suspension, and the tank is full, move the agitator to
NEUTRAL then full speed FORWARD to ensure all material is mixed. It may be necessary
to change the agitator direction more than once to ensure a thorough mixture.
8. Agitate per the manufacturer’s recommendations. Generally, the agitation time is 10 min-
utes to allow the proper viscosity to be generated. Follow manufacturer’s recommenda-
tions.
9. Once material is thoroughly mixed, place the agitator in FORWARD direction to 1/4 speed,
or just enough to create movement in all corners of the tank. DO NOT OVER-AGITATE the
slurry. Always discharge the material with the agitator control in FORWARD and at a slow
speed.
NOTE:
As the application process commences and the slurry level is
decreased, which will expose the agitator blades, it is extremely
important to ensure that the speed of the agitators is slow.
NOTE:
Use of recirculation should be kept to a minimum.
NOTE:
If foaming occurs, reduce agitator speed.
NOTE:
When mixing multiple loads of BFM, FGM, SMM, and other viscous
slurries, make sure to purge the lines with clear water before mix-
ing the next load.
