Functional description
Futuro pumps are used to transfer manure from a freestall barn to a manure
reservoir pit or lagoon through an underground pipe. The pump can be installed
to automatically or manually start via a control panel.
● During the siphoning cycle (up stroke) the discharge flapper closes and the
intake flapper opens to fill the evacuation chamber with slurry.
● During the evacuation cycle (down stroke) the intake flapper closes and the
discharge flapper opens to move the slurry from the evacuation chamber
into the discharge line.
● A manual guillotine shut-off valve on the intake and discharge prevents flow
through the pump when not in use and isolates the pump for maintenance.
A hydraulic control for the guillotine valves is available as an option.
● The intake of the pump can be connected to a hopper or a short suction pipe
to a reception pit.
