P&M Pumps has invested in a new demonstration trailer to allow it to take its Vaughan Chopper Pumps to sites around the UK in order to demonstrate the on-site benefits of the equipment.
The demonstration trailer features a Vaughan HE4K (four kilowatt) re-circulating flow pump, which is connected to a one-metre-long capacity tank and enables users to test the pump’s unique solids-handling capabilities. All that is required to set up the demonstration is a mains power connection, a water supply and drainage. The live demonstration allows potential customers to see how the pumps operate up close without the limitations of video or the operational restrictions of an exhibition stand.
The Vaughan Chopper Pump has been designed to operate across a variety of applications, such as wet well, dry well, submersible and self-priming. The pump is made up of a series of cutters and choppers effectively shredded slurry being pumped through and prevents blockages in waste and effluent streams by materials such as rags, fat, plastic and other solid or fibrous debris.
You can find out more information about the Vaughan Chopper Pump on the P&M Pumps website.

How will the government and DMOs address the challenges of including glass in DRS while ensuring a level playing field across the UK?
There's no easy solution to include glass in the DRS while maintaining a level playing field. Potential approaches include a phased introduction of glass, potentially with higher deposits to reflect its logistical challenges. The government and DMOs could incentivise innovation in glass packaging design and subsidise dedicated return points for glass-handling. Exemptions for smaller businesses unable to handle glass might also be necessary. Any successful solution will likely blend several approaches. It must address the differing priorities of devolved administrations, balance environmental benefits with logistical and cost implications, and be supported by robust consumer education campaigns emphasizing the importance of glass recycling.
