Engine driven slurry pumps

[spiders]

What engines do you use and on what pumps. Are they powerful enough? For those of you who built your own is there anything you wish you had done differently!

I am thinking about making one myself. Looking for inspiration I suppose.

i have seen deutz, perkins 6354, ford n john deere engines used, the jd was the best but most expencive set up, the perkins impressed me the most, went on A frame on front linkage

didnt @tweco make one

I remember a poster on BFF using cummins engines out of daf lorries,he didn't have great success with them,I would have thought they were an ideal engine.

I bought a 6cyl turbo merc for my pump,but unfortunately while trying to mess with the governor it over revved and killed itself.

A perkins turbo is probably the best bet,out of a combine.

The days are numbered for a DIY engine job as most newer stuff is common rail.

You want big motor and that way it will use less fuel

The problem with truck engines is they have a lot of droop on the governor to make them drive better in a vehicle ,problem is in a stationary application the revs will drop as the load gets greater
Depends what you want ,and want to spend I could supply you a nearly new Perkins or cat complete with radiator and control panel

Are you any nearer sourcing an engine? I presume you want near 300hp for your pump.

There should be plenty of old Perkins 6 cylinder engines from combine Breakers simple stuff no common rail, and link it to Cri-man pth 80 k pump either direct drive of the flywheel or we can do one that's pto driven or engine drive, just swap the input shaft into a different position in the gearbox

375hp Cat on a Cornell pump. Does 250 m3/hr, so ideally you'd want 120hp+ on a Doda.

I'm expecting to look for a 160 ish hp engine, i seen this in the shaftsbury collective sale last week,


What i liked about it was that it used a standard l35 pto pump, having 4 pumps now this appealed as i could swap over pumps if anything went wrong with one, trouble is mine are HD pumps. probably needing more power.

what would people value the above at? deutz air cooled engine, standard L35 pump, compressor and trailer.

I know of a jcb diesel max engine coupled to a high volume water pump, if i was to scrap high volume water pump would it have enough power to drive a doda hd pump???

That Deutz would be about 90hp? (Depends if it turboed)

Looks like the donkey off a forager,tidy set up.

Isn't the only difference between a ld35 and hd35 an oil cooler?

beleive they are geared to run a little faster.

didnt look to see if turbo'd just assumed it was, was a tidy set, most prob started life on a forager, think the pump could of been mounted on rubber mounts or simmilar as it had cracked the frame a few times.

The trouble with making the pump fit both a tractor and engine is that your gearing the engine down then gearing the pump up,big losses in efficiency.

Personally I would get a pedastal pump http://blueline.co.uk/ENGINE-DRIVE-SLURRY-PUMPS.asp you will get good output with a 150hp engine on it.

I have one for sale cummins turbo intercooler 160hp doda direct drive pedastel pump full remote control from tractor pm me your number i have some photos on phone.

Yes we are fixed up with a new engine

What breed did you get in the end?

And a ball park figure if you don't mind. Will it be a direct pump or gearbox?
