Choose the agitator for waste lagoon is a strategic decision for any livestock property. This choice directly impacts management efficiency, energy consumption, and equipment lifespan. Contrary to what many people think, there is no universal agitator. Each farm has its own particularities, and therefore, sizing must consider the lagoon volume, the type of waste, the required power, and the installation method.
Pond volume and correct sizing
The first step is to assess the volume of the lagoon. When you know exactly how many cubic meters it holds, it is possible to choose the appropriate agitator.
A small agitator may not move all the material. On the other hand, a model that is too large makes the investment more expensive and increases energy consumption.
How the type of waste influences the choice
The type of waste is also decisive.
-
Liquid waste require less effort from the engine, but need adequate rotation.
-
Semi-solid or high-solid waste need more strength and reinforced propellers to avoid jamming.
Therefore, when analyzing the residue before purchase, you ensure greater efficiency and extend the useful life of your equipment.
Power and rotation in balance
Many growers believe that more power means better results. However, the secret is in the balance between power, rotation and propeller diameter.
With this adjustment, The agitator can promote uniform mixing without wasting energy. Additionally, factors such as pond depth, distance from electrical power, and access for maintenance must also be considered.
Equipment durability in humid environments
The environment of a waste lagoon is aggressive, with high humidity and continuous operation. Therefore, choosing an agitator made from corrosion-resistant materials is essential.
That way, you guarantee years of stable operation and reduce costs for repairs or replacement of parts.
