Abstract
The combination of a self-powered reel dolly and a traveling plow injector carriage joined together by a traveling hard hose supply line is disclosed. The plow injector carriage carries a multiple shank plow and a plurality of injector pipes which, when the plow blades are engaged in the ground, provide sub-surface injection of liquified sludge or other waste materials which is supplied to the carriage through the hard hose supply line. As the reel dolly winds in the supply line, the latter correspondingly pulls in or returns the plow injector carriage from an initial downfield position to a final "home" position adjacent the reel dolly. In addition to underground dispersion of the effluent through the injector pipes, an additional above-ground water gun and/or spreader manifold can be used as desired.
Claims9
A sub-surface liquified waste injector apparatus comprising:
- a supply of liquified waste;
- reel dolly means having a reel means mounted for rotation upon a wheeled frame means, and power drive means operable to drivably rotate said reel means;
- plow injector carriage means including frame means carried by wheel means, a plurality of ground-engageable plow blade means and injector tube means mounted on said frame means, and liquified waste manifold means connected to said injector tube means;
- and
- traveling supply hose means connecting said waste manifold means to said reel dolly means and to said supply of liquified waste, said supply hose means operable to supply liquified waste to said waste manifold means from said waste supply and to drivably propel said carriage along the ground as said supply hose means is reeled in by said reel dolly,
- whereby movement of said plow injector carriage means towards said reel dolly means causes said plow blade means to plow furrows in the ground into which said injector tube means disperses liquified waste.
