Effluent management
Environmentally friendly slurry redistribution
Central Injection Agri is at the forefront of environmentally friendly slurry redistribution across your paddocks. Our dedicated team provides expert services throughout Canterbury – as far north as Rangiora and Oxford, reaching into Mid Canterbury, and proudly serving our hometown of South Canterbury.
With a focus on reducing environmental impact, we use advanced techniques and equipment to ensure the effective and efficient application of slurry, transforming waste into valuable fertiliser.
The CIA effluent services include:
- Pond stirring
- Emptying of effluent ponds
- Muck spreading – ideal for cleaning out herd stand-off pads & shelters
- Slurry injection
Pond stirring
A more uniform by-product
Agitation or pond stirring is essential in tanks and ponds, as it makes it easier for manure to be pumped into a slurry tank.
This mixing process creates a more uniform by-product, which can be efficiently spread across paddocks. When the slurry is adequately mixed, it reduces strain on pumps and stirrers, leading to fewer blockages and breakages – extending the life of your equipment.
Slurry injection
The most beneficial application
Slurry injection is the most beneficial, cost-effective and least damaging alternative to traditional muck spreading. The manure is ground into small particles and combined with water to create a liquid, which is then injected into paddocks.
Injected slurry can stimulate boosted crop production and allows more nitrogen into the soil. It has become a favoured method thanks to its reduced ammonia emissions (around a 70% reduction), fewer odour complaints and the elimination of soil compaction.
Solid muck spreaders & vacuum tankers
Muck spreading
Central Injection Agri began our journey with slurry tankers, and this approach remains highly effective for solid manure that isn’t suitable for injection.
Our newly acquired HiSpec 3rd generation Xcel 1250 retains the patented chain flail and spinning disc spreading system, now enhanced for an improved spread pattern and adjustability. It easily handles farmyard manure, chicken manure, compost and sludge cake – and the chain flails cope with foreign objects like stones far better than auger-type machines.
