A dosing pump that can work with maximum 30,000 litre per hour. That’s the D30; the newest pump of Dosatron, which they presented at HortiAsia in Bangkok, Thailand. “Until now we only had pumps that could handle a maximum of 20,000 litre per hour,” says Thierry Claireau, International Agent of Dosatron Asia. “This pump is ideal for large scale irrigation.”The D30 has a wide operation rate; it has a working flow rate between 8,000 and 30,000 litre and a dosage rate of 0.02 to 1%. The pump is powered by water, so it’s not using any electricity. The system can be used for fertigation, fumigation and for other plant treatments. “It can be used for dosing fertilizer or you can add acid to help run down the pH of the soil.”
Although Dosatron is mainly supplying to the livestock industry, horticulture is more and more becoming an important market for the company. The United States and the EU are already well familiar with the Dosatron system, and now Dosatron wants to spread its wings to Asia. “China, Japan, Taiwan and Vietnam are interesting markets for us, when it comes to irrigation,” says Thierry. “People from all over Asia visit this trade show. That’s why HortiAsia is a really good exhibition to promote our new dosing system.”
To develop their market in Asia, Dosatron uses the new office in Bangkok opened by Clearwater two years ago as South-East Asia base, another office in China opened in 2014. “We are already exporting to Asia for more than fifteen years, but now with the offices here in Bangkok and the one in China, it’s easier to contact our clients, give them personal attention and train them how to use our systems.”
