Patz Corporation is pleased to announce the new Tundra® LTX Hydraulic Pump. This new pump is designed to pump slurry manure with a liquid content of 95% or more up to distances of 2000 feet. Slurry can include a small amount of bedding made from sand, sawdust, or wood shavings. The LTX pump is powered by either a 5 or 7.5 HP Hydraulic Power Pack System.

The new Tundra® LTX is able to sit above or below ground, which allows for more mounting options. An 8” suction pipe is used to draw manure into the pump. The maximum draw up from the reception pit is 10’. Manure is discharged through a 6” or 8” plastic pipe to final storage.

The new Tundra® LTX features an Automatic Reciprocating Valve (ARV) for reversing action. This replaces the mechanical valve with a hydraulic switch on previous models. The ARV switches directions of the ram without electricity or any external moving parts, which is a safer alternative.

Patz Corporation manufactures feed and manure handling equipment for a variety of agricultural, industrial, and commercial markets. Other products include vertical mixers, belt conveyors/feeders, silo unloaders, chain and flite conveyors, wastewater and manure pumps, agitators, SmartClean™ scraper systems, gutter cleaners, liquid manure tankers, and material choppers.
