Meeting the Demand for Water Containment in Agriculture

Crop spraying equipment carry various sizes of container holding the diluted chemicals, sizes can range from 2,500 to 4,500 litres and can take between 1 to 2 hours to refill after each spray operation from the mains supply.

Dunlop GRG was approached by a local farmer with a two-fold problem. Firstly the amount of time spent continually filling several IBC water containers for the spraying equipment tanks secondly, finding a water container with sufficient volume to completely fill the spraying tank in one operation, two or three times a day. In this type of application water containment requires both mobility and potential high capacities.

The solution was a Dunlop GRG 20,000 litre Flexible Water Tank fitted with a fill and auto-shut off facility. Manufactured out of polyurethane the flexible material provides various benefits; ease of transportation to site, simple set up and use, simple decommissioning and transfer to new locations.

Once the 20,000 litre tank was filled our client could connect to it and fill the spraying tanks within minutes, leaving the Flexible tank to continue refilling, from a mains supply while he worked. During one day spraying it was estimated this solution saved 2 hours over three filling stops during one day. As his operation moved into other areas of the county he could easily move the Flexible tank to another position.

To our farming community, where timescales are critical during seasonal operations, the tank more than paid for itself in one year.

For agricultural industries Dunlop GRG have a range of different sizes and shapes of liquid containment products, suitable for a variety of applications.
