As we know, mixing and spreading slurry are very dangerous activities. Drowning, gas poisoning and farm machinery injuries are the main risk areas associated with slurry season. Over the 10 year period to 2020, 10% of deaths have been slurry-related. Teagasc explains all the necessary safety precautions to take in the coming weeks along with some useful tips to prevent accidents. Fittings There are various types of essential fittings and couplings that are needed for Slurry Tankers. Italian couplings, Perrot Couplings and Baeur Couplings are just some of the slurry tanker fittings we supply at Genfitt. All fittings have a galvanized finish to ensure maximum durability. Gate Valves In order to control slurry flow a gate valve is necessary. At Genfitt, we have a range of complete Gate Valves to choose from along with any spares you may require. Spares It is impossible to know when a part will go on the slurry tanker. You can be extremely lucky and not have any issues. However the time will come when you need to replace small parts in order to get through the slurry season. That’s why at Genfitt, we have a range of spares to cover various models of tankers. Hosing In order to fill slurry, a slurry hose is required. When a hose stops functioning, it can bring the entire operation to a grinding halt, significantly affecting production rates. At Genfitt, we have a selection of elastic and rubber suction hoses to suit all preferences. To see the complete range of our Slurry/Waste Management parts, click here. Return to News Page
