Proven Product. Best Spread
Effluent is gold to farmers but irrigating to pasture can be a labour intensive and taxing job. Until now there has been a gap in the market for Travelling Effluent Cannons also commonly referred to as ‘travelling rain gun’. With strict 
environmental laws and regulations, the Torpedo couldn’t come at a better time. After four years of extensive research and development the Torpedo has hit the market and has changed how farmers disperse their effluent to pasture. Extensive features, excellent performance and revolutionary design are just some of the reasons the Torpedo is the best on the market. Not to mention the Torpedo’s rugged design and durable construction which has exceeded all of our customer’s expectations with 100% satisfaction. Record sales have proved that it is a leap above the rest and is the new benchmark in effluent dispersal.
The Torpedo Travelling Effluent Cannon ticks all the boxes for our Dairy Farmers; it is fast pumping with low application rates, quick and simple to operate as well as rugged and durable to stand the test of time
No corners have been cut with the development of the Torpedo. This travelling effluent cannon has been constructed using only the highest standard of products to ensure optimal performance and durability whilst being extremely user 
friendly and reliable.
We are the first to design and manufacture a self propelled travelling effluent cannon driven by a pelton wheel and have the patent for this concept. Don’t be fooled by cheaper ‘copy cat’ Travelling Effluent Cannons.
