REACH OUT TO US
Modern agricultural equipment, from precision seeders to crop sprayers and fertilizer applicators, relies on pneumatic and liquid handling systems to operate efficiently and accurately. The pumps and compressors at the core of these systems must be exceptionally robust to withstand the demanding, often harsh, field environment.
Key Pump Functions and Requirements
Agricultural equipment operates in dusty, dirty, and often corrosive environments with wide temperature swings. Pumps used in this sector must be highly durable and resistant to contamination from dust and moisture. For pneumatic seeders, the compressor must provide a consistent, reliable airflow to transport seeds without damage. For spraying systems, the pump must handle potentially corrosive fertilizers and pesticides while providing consistent pressure for even application. Reliability is paramount to avoid costly downtime during critical planting and treatment seasons.
The Thomas Solution
Thomas articulated piston and WOB-L® piston pumps are engineered for the durability that agricultural applications demand. Our Articulated Piston pumps are particularly well-suited for harsh environments, thriving in dusty and dirty conditions. For liquid applications, our chemically resistant Liquid Diaphragm Pumps and Peristaltic Pumps can reliably handle a wide range of fertilizers and treatment chemicals. All our technologies feature oil-less designs, preventing contamination of seeds or chemicals and reducing maintenance requirements in the field.
