Abstract
A rapid aeration injection device (RAID) system configured to be implemented with an aeration machine is described. Embodiments of the RAID system can include a holding tank, a pump system, and a plurality of hoses. The pump system can be configured to deliver a slurry (or other liquid, air, etc.) to tines of the aeration machine via the plurality of hoses. The pump system can be operatively coupled to a powertrain of the aeration machine to power pumps of the pump system.
Claims20
A rapid aeration injection device (RAID) system for use with a tined aeration machine, the RAID system comprising:
- a holding tank adapted to be coupled to the tined aeration machine;
- a pump system in fluid connection with the holding tank, the pump system operatively connected to a drivetrain of the tined aeration machine;
- and
- a plurality of hoses each having (i) a first end fluidly connected to the pump system and (ii) a second end fluidly connected to one of a plurality of tines of the tined aeration machine.
A rapid aeration injection device (RAID) system in combination with an aeration machine, the RAID system comprising:
- a holding tank;
- a pump system in fluid connection with the holding tank, the pump system adapted to be operatively connected to a drivetrain of the aeration machine;
- and
- a plurality of hoses each having (i) a first end fluidly connected to the pump system and (ii) a second end adapted to be fluidly connected to one of a plurality of tines of the aeration machine.
A rapid aeration injection device (RAID) system for use with an aeration machine, the RAID system comprising:
- a holding tank adapted to store a slurry;
- a pump system in fluid connection with the holding tank, the pump system (i) including a plurality of peristaltic pumps, (ii) adapted to be operatively connected to a drivetrain of the aeration machine;
- and (iii) including a plurality of mechanically driven air pumps;
- and
- a plurality of hoses each having (i) a first end fluidly connected to the pump system and (ii) a second end adapted to be fluidly connected to one of a plurality of tines of the aeration machine.
