Available through RX Plastics, K-Line Max disperses effluent onto pastures at low rates and is compliant with every regional council in New Zealand.
RX Plastics’ Tony Atwool says each pod spreads effluent at 4mm/hour in a 40m spread from the pod.
“When paddocks are wet in the spring and soils don’t have a lot of water-holding capacity you can usually still spread effluent using a K-Line Max.”
He said in the past farmers had rung up wanting the system installed as soon as possible so they could continue milking as their ponds were full and the long range forecast was for continual rain.
“Consultants can design a K-Line Max effluent system straight away that suits the shape and size of your farm, the land disposal area, the quality and the quantity of the effluent and the varying soil types,” Atwool says.
The system typically is made up of a pump, main line, sub-main and K-Pipe feeder with assembly so simple many farmers choose to install the sub-main, feed and sprinkler lines themselves.
K-Line Max can be shifted by a quadbike or farm vehicle, just like the K-Line irrigation pods.
“There’s no need to separate out solids either if irrigating directly during milking as the K-Line Max 7025 can handle particles up to 8mm in diameter and the K-Line Max 8025 up to 12mm in diameter. Of course you still need a stone trap to make sure the foreign objects, the ones that don’t come from cows, are kept out.
“We’ve seen everything from syringes to milking aprons caught.
“K-Line Max is low capital cost and will suit any paddock shape, size or terrain.”
