Margaret River Fresh beef in Vietnam
MOVING large quanti- ties of piggery efflu- ent contaminated with compressible solids, straw and other waste material is a challenge.
Traditionally long col- umn sump pumps are used for this application but can be susceptible to bearing wear.
Aussie Pumps has a cost-effective, robust cast iron electric pump that is ideal for handling piggery waste.
Called the Aussie B4XR-A/ST, it is a 4” semi-trash pump and has the ability to handle large volumes of con- taminated water.
Surface mounted, it is simple to service with a large front-mounted clean-out port.
This enables access to wash out the pump in- ternals without the need to disconnect the pipe- work or hoses.
Aussie Pumps’ Neil Bennett said, “We have interviewed piggery operators who seem reconciled to having to repair pumps on a
regular basis.”
“That is generally be-
cause the pumps they are using are either too small or can’t keep up with the solids handling requirements of the job.”
“Long-column sump pumps, traditionally used in this application, often suffer from bear- ing damage caused by shaft oscillation.
“This results in the pumps needing to be pulled out for repair.”
Bennett stressed that the self-priming pump mounted above the sump can be easily repaired without removal from the pit.
The big Aussie 4” pump delivers flows of up to 2300l/pm and heads as high as 29m.
Best of all, the pump self-primes from depths as low as 6m.
The Aussie GMP semi-trash pumps are designed with big open impellers, and construc- tion is heavy-duty cast iron.
There is even a 316 stainless steel option.
A non-clog-style im- peller means passing of compressible solids is easy.
The semi-trash pumps come with silicon-car- bide mechanical seals with alumina counter- face and nitrile rubber seals as standard.
A tungsten-carbide Vi- ton is also available.
All pumps feature a 316 stainless steel motor shaft and stainless steel wear plate to protect from erosion and body wear.
The big pumps are powered by 15kW two-pole electric mo- tors with a 55 IP rating against moisture and dust ingress.
Aussie Pumps says the best news for pig- gery operators is the low prices for a top-quality product.
All GMP pumps are made to ISO 9001 qual- ity standards and war- ranted to be free of de- fects for three years.
“We can supply these as bare shaft pumps for installation on ex- isting engines, or for converting conventional electric-drive pumps to self-priming semi-trash versions,” Bennett said.
“We even do a hydrau- lic-drive pump for mo- bile applications.”

WESTERN Meat Pack- ers Group recently par- ticipated in and exhib- ited at Vietnam’s lead- ing food and hospitality event ‘Food and Hotel Vietnam’.
WMPG CEO Andrew Fuda said the response of existing and prospec- tive WMPG customers this year was beyond all expectations, with or- ders taken and consid- erable interest shown in the company’s ‘high-end’ Margaret River Fresh beef product.
“While the Margaret River region has long been globally recognised for its fine wines, it is now also acknowledged for its fine food and our Marga- ret River Fresh branded beef is leading the way by giving our customers a taste sensation second to none,” Mr Fuda said.
“We’ve always made a
point of taking every op- portunity to spend time with customers and pros- pects in all our export markets.
“Building strong rela- tionships is particularly important in South-East Asian countries such as Vietnam where the people and cultures put a high price on trust between seller and buyer.
“As a family owned company since 1983, WMPG has always treat- ed our customers like family, where trust and honesty is all important.”
Western Meat Packers Group promoted its exclu- sive Margaret River Fresh brand at Food and Hotel Vietnam.
Now in its 10th year, the event is held at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center, Ho Chi Minh City.
WMPG also participat- ed in 2017.
The Margaret River Fresh trademark is reg- istered with IP Australia to WMPG and used ex- clusively to package the group’s premier products according to WMPG CEO Andrew Fuda, who hosted the company’s stand at the event.
Cattle are selected after grazing on their natural pastures and then raised and fattened almost exclu- sively on pasture, before carrying the Margaret River Fresh brand after processing at the WMPG abattoir located on 250ha in the Margaret River re- gion.
“In all our export mar- kets, including Vietnam, Japan, Korea, the US, Hong Kong and Singa- pore, there is high de- mand for sustainably sourced, clean products and the Margaret River region is renowned for
these qualities,” Mr Fuda said.
“We’ve built on this rep- utation and the growing consumer trends around sustainability, hormone- free and animal welfare by ensuring we meet these expectations.”
Looking to further their reach into other export markets beyond their es- tablished partnerships is part of the current focus for growth within WMPG.
WMPG, which has an an- nual turnover of more than $150 million, is 100 percent owned by Rod Russell and his wife Shana.
They started the busi- ness in 1983.
It employs 450 people across its Osborne Park processing and packing headquarters, Margaret River abattoir and Bibra Lake value-adding facil- ity.
