GoatThroat Pumps for the Agriculture Industry

Operating efficient and successful farms requires the use of industry-grade organic and agricultural chemicals like fertilizer, herbicide, pesticide, and insecticides. These chemicals are often dangerous to handle.  They are also expensive and necessary. Health detriments from improper chemical handling procedures can cause severe physical damage. With GoatThroat agriculture pumps, farmers and farmhands can safely transfer chemicals with precise control.

Find the right Pump

The enhanced safety provided by GoatThroat’s chemical-compatible seals and materials dramatically lower the risk of chemical exposure. This allows large and small farms alike to easily comply with OSHA and EPA chemical safety and environmental safety standards. GoatThroat’s insecticide pumps, herbicide pumps, pesticides pumps, and liquid fertilizer transfer pumps also provide the handler with direct control of the rate of flow. This means that farms can better manage their chemical reserves and material costs while providing a safer working environment for farmworkers, crops, and livestock.

Our pumps reduce the risk of spills, chemical exposure, and agrichemical waste. By improving the efficiency of application and reducing waste opportunities, your farm will have reduced maintenance and chemical costs.

GoatThroat pumps are also a perfect solution for facilities with limited access to power or remote storage locations. As our pumps are operated by hand, they can be applied creatively for unique situations. For example, transferring agrichemicals from storage to a mixer tank or sprayer can be performed efficiently by one worker. They also lend themselves for use in small area application processes as GoatThroat pumps can be fit for both 5-gallon and 55-gallon drums.

With our pumps, your agrichemicals will remain sealed away from possible unwanted exposure. From the time the chemicals are delivered to the farm to their application in the field, GoatThroat’s agriculture pumps help to create a closed and safe transfer process to each container along the way.

Transfer Pumps for Crop Maintenance

Crop maintenance is both an art and a science. Maintaining a balance between chemical applications, weather conditions, wildlife exposure, crop yield, and pests is a constant difficult battle. You can’t control the weather, but you can contribute to the crop yield and keep pests away.

GoatThroat transfer pumps give applicators direct control over the amount of concentrate delivered to the mix tank to achieve the correct dilute mixture. This will allow them to apply the correct solution without creating waste or over saturating the crop or surrounding soil. It’s not only a requirement for maintaining OSHA and EPA compliance but also helps to produce the best crop yields. Damaged soil from agrichemical saturation can take time and money to fix. Prevent the possibility from the start with the precise control of our insecticide, pesticide, and herbicide pumps. Keep your farmland healthy and productive.

Along with the need for accurate and controlled application, agrichemicals have to be stored in specific manners to ensure environmental safety standards. This will often mean transferring chemicals from larger tanks and drums to hand-held containers and applicators. It can also often require mixing two or more chemicals. GoatThroat pumps can give your farmhands the consistent control they need to accurately create chemical mixtures and transfer agrichemicals to and from storage containers in a closed system. Our pumps are made to prevent dangerous exposure to chemical leaks and fumes during the transfer process.

If you need transfer pump solutions or are unsure what chemical safety standards are required for your chemical reserves, you can look through our thorough chemical compatibility guide or get in contact with a professional at GoatThroat Pumps to find the solution for your needs. Our pumps are sure to increase your farm productivity while lowering maintenance costs and preventing exposure to hazardous chemicals.

Safe Chemical Handling Improves Bottom Line in Controlling Phytophthora Root Root

Rancho Rodoro, is a 40 acre avocado and lemon tree farm located in the Santa Clara River Valley of California. Owner Randall Axell divides his time between soil and pest management and improving crop production. Rancho Rodoro uses integrated practices which help to reduce Phytophthora Root Rot (PPR) spread. Until recently, Axell has been using trunk injection of phosphoric acid just prior to the initiation of new root growth in May and August which is standard application methods for phosphites. Using PhosGrowTM by International Chemical Group which is registered in California as a fertilizer he recovered 6 acres of moderately diseased trees since 2004 and has a thriving avocado grove. While this method is very appropriate for moderate to severely diseased trees, it is overkill for control and disinfection of slightly diseased areas of the orchard. Phosphite Delivery System Wanting to apply the phosphites via his existing irrigation system, Axell...

California DPR Review of CCS-8605 Closed Systems

SUBJECT: EVALUATION OF THE PROTOTYPE ?GOAT-THROAT? CLOSED SYSTEM DEMONSTRATED IN FRESNO COUNTY ON NOVEMBER 15, 2010 FROM: Harvard R. Fong, CIH Senior Industrial Hygienist Worker Health and Safety Branch (916) 445-4211 DATE: January 6, 2011 On November 15, 2010, I traveled to the Fresno office of the Enforcement Branch?s Central Regional Office to view a demonstration of the prototype closed-system designed by GoatThroat Pumps (GTP) of Milford, CT. This demonstration was to provide verification that the closed-system component designed and manufactured by GTP complied with the closed-system requirements as stated in the Director?s Closed System Criteria (1998) document. Their particular component was the GT-300 manual pump, specially modified to meet the requirements for a closed-system device. The specific modifications related to the GT-300 included a water rinse system, a pressure relief valve and the use of dry-break couplers. Hoses for moving liquids through the GT-300 (both out of the pesticide...

Vineyards and Nurseries see big benefit to bottom line with safe chemical handling systems

The High Cost of Exposing Ag Workers to Chemicals at Point of Use The tip-and-pour method, as well as poorly designed pumps, can expose workers to injury and companies to significant financial losses Every day handlers and pesticide applicators transfer potentially hazardous chemicals and concentrates such as pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, and liquid fertilizers from large drums into smaller containers or mixing tanks. However, this transfer process can have serious consequences if manual ?tip-and-pour? techniques or poorly designed pumps are used. Whether the chemicals are toxic, corrosive, or flammable, the danger of accidental contact can pose a severe hazard to workers. Some are even categorized as ?Minimal Exposure Pesticides? In fact, each year 1,800-3,000 ( this number seems low) preventable occupational incidents involving pesticide exposure are reported Keeping workers safe is not just a best management practice, it is the law. The federal Worker Protection Standard (WPS) was revised in...
