A new feature for the contractor–spec Hypro 9307 centrifugal pump is an optional ‘wet’ seal that guards against the damage caused by inadvertently letting it run dry.
“A standard ceramic seal can fail if left to run dry for any length of time, or if used with excessively abrasive liquids,” Hypro’s Roger James said. “Pentair already offers a Lifeguard silicon carbide seal that protects against such damage and provides up to 21 times longer service life, but the Hypro 9307 pump is the first available with the patented Forcefield wet seal.”
This all but eliminates the risk of seal damage during typical run-dry situations, such as forgetting to shut off the sprayer pump on the journey from field to yard. It is, therefore, not only a high–performance unit, with up to 1,400 lit/min flow capacity, but also a practical choice for the main sprayer pump.
Mr James urged farmers to explore all options for the pump and induction system when buying a new sprayer, especially if they are keen to see quicker sprayer filling times.
“Quite rightly, farmers take time considering tank size, boom options and controls before buying a new sprayer,” he said. “But digging a bit deeper on pump and induction system pros, cons and performance will certainly help ensure they are getting the best set-up for fast sprayer refilling turnarounds.”
