CHIOR SPH: The New Frontier in Livestock Slurry Pumping

Heavy-duty submersible chopper pumps. Robust, powerful, reliable.

In large livestock farms and anaerobic digestion plants, slurry management is a key indicator of overall efficiency. For these particularly demanding applications, CHIOR SPH is the heavy-duty submersible chopper pump designed to deliver maximum power, high mechanical resistance, and continuous operation.

The latest addition to the CHIOR family is conceived as an evolution of the well-established SPB series: while the latter covers standard applications, the SPH model is specifically engineered for continuous duty cycles, high solids concentrations, and critical operating conditions. At the heart of the machine lies an enhanced chopping system, based on a high-quality hardened steel rotary blade and counter-blade, capable of reducing fibrous materials—such as hair, plastics, and plant fibres—into homogeneous fragments. The pump body is made entirely of high-strength cast iron with increased thickness, while the submersible motor, available in power ratings from 7.5 to 18.5 kW, is IP68 rated and equipped with thermal protection to ensure uninterrupted operation even under full submersion.

In terms of performance, the SPH pump achieves flow rates beyond 3,000 l/min and heads up to 30 metres, thanks to a double mechanical seal in an oil chamber and a wear-resistant system that maintains cutting efficiency throughout the pump’s life cycle. The combined effect of fine shredding and high flow rate results in a more homogeneous slurry, facilitating both solid-liquid separation and transfer to digesters or deep storage tanks.

Reducing costs and plant downtime is the ultimate benchmark for any technical solution: CHIOR SPH’s construction technology minimises clogging and failures, extending intervals between scheduled maintenance. This benefits operational continuity, energy balance, and, importantly, the environmental sustainability of the process, as more efficient slurry handling leads to lower emissions and better valorisation of livestock by-products.

The pump can be configured for guide-rail or free-standing installation, with custom-length cables, compatibility with control panels, and SCADA system integration—versatility that makes it ideal for both new installations and revamping projects.

In short, CHIOR SPH is a true strategic choice for operators looking to maximise productivity, reliability, and energy efficiency in their facilities. For further technical details, please contact SAVECO or visit www.wamgroup.com, where product sheets and tailored configurations are available.
