Propcorn applicator

Where would I source one of these? I’m assuming that a normal shurflo silage additive pump would quickly die with propcorn? [emoji848]

Right, we used it when I was a young whipper snapper, we used to call the applicator the daleck because it looked scary and we were told to keep away from it !!!! I can remember it having a bell on it that rang every so often , presumably when it ran out of liquid.
Could have been yellow or orange, tall ish with dials and taps with the odd gauge .

Think we had one of those, bit like a petrol pump on castors. Memory vague, except g-clamp and bit of box section permanently holding fail-safe button, whatever that did.

We use it out of an IBC...through a flowmeter...set the ibc on another. ..just gravity fed. Augar moves around 22t an hour. we found too much to go wrong with pumps. Works well
 
We have a barrel pump with a variable rate control box, flexible hose and a spray nozzle effort bolted to the grain auger, different colours of nozzle apply different rates.
