Hydro-man IV - VMC


 
Save Valuable floor space!  Compact, vertical design of the Berg Hydro-Man IV Manure Conveyor needs less than 24-inches in diameter floor space for the plunger unit, plus only 4.5 square feet for the power unit...much less space than required for any other mechanical system.

Manure self-loads with gravity from the hopper into the chamber.  And, the massive weight of the plunger works with gravity and hydraulic down-pressure to push large amounts of manure quickly through the underground pipe into the storage area.  Friction and wear are minimized, because there's no weight on the seals.

The Berg Hydro-Man IV Vertical Manure Conveyor is engineered especially
for dairymen who are handling heavier-bedded manure, but conveys slurry and
liquid manure equally well.  Can accommodate any manure system in any type barn!
Power enough to move manure efficiently up to 250'.

  
Illustration of the Hydro-Man IV
Round, heavy-steel construction of the chamber (A) and single elbow (B) is nearly indestructible.  Withstands more pressure and abuse than any other shape. Berg's hydraulic drive (K) offers economy and dependability.

Massive, round, heavy steel plunger (C) exerts no weight on its seals.  As it moves through the wear ring (D and below), compacted manure forms a tight, dense labyrinth-type self-seal between the plunger and chamber wall.

A unique air-valve (E) relieves the vacuum crated by the stroking motion.  A manually operated pit stop (G) can be installed to control the back-flow of liquids.

A back-flow retarder in the cone (F and below) keeps heavier-bedding manure from returning to the chamber.  The Berg hopper (H and below) is built with only one steeply-sloped surface to eliminate bridging and reduce manure hang-up.
 

A special-built cement kit (J) provides an accurate, effective seal between the barn cleaner gutter and the hopper to keep solids out of the basement. Berg's ductile, cast-iron conveyor pipe (M) is recommended for strong, manure-tight, corrosion-resistant installations.
