Umbilical System Components

Flow Meters

When you need to know exactly how much you are applying, you need a flow meter.

In-Line Flow Meter

Choose an In-Line Flow Meter to attach to your pump and find out exactly how much material you are moving. Built into a robust galvanised frame, your flow meter is protected from accidental damage. It is fitted with  4″ Bauer couplings as standard and 6m of 12v power cable with a COBO type 3 pin plug.

Applicator Flow Meter

Choose the Applicator Flow Meter to know how much you are applying via your FarmChief Dribble Bar or Spreader Bar. A choice of remote heads can be added on for precise, to the second monitoring of the application, direct from the tractor cab. 

Hoses

We stock a full range of Gollmer & Hummel (G&H) hoses, a worldwide leading hose solution provider. 

G&H’s Hilcoflex range has been designed specifically for the irrigation and slurry umbilical market. It is available in either PU or rubber. Each production batch is thoroughly tested to ensure the highest level of quality for their customers. 

Couplings & Fittings

If your fitting s are getting old, tough to use or you simply need some backup equipment, FaramChief stock both Storz and Shug couplings and fittings. 

Storz couplings are unsexed and have a unique swivel which helps to reduce hose twisting. There are no locking levers, eliminating the possibility of accidental unlocking joints when dragged across the ground. When rewinding the hose onto reels, the compact neck design results in tidier reels and speeds up wrapping for open bobbin reelers. 

Each individual Shug fitting is machined from a single billet of 6061-T6 extruded aluminium which is then type-three hard coat anodised. This gives Shug their reputation for being the strongest and safest coupling system on the market. With no requirement for spanners, the couplings are unsexed and have complete interchangeability between sizes 4″-6″ without the requirement of either enlargers or reducers. Suited to customers dragging large diameter hose, the design suits bobbin type reelers where the compact neck design suits tidy wrapping.
