Make Every Drop Count: Reducing Chemical Waste on Farms

In farming, margins are tight and every decision matters. Whether you're running a dairy farm, growing crops, or managing livestock, the way you handle chemicals and liquids on your farm can directly affect your bottom line, your safety, and your environmental footprint.

That’s why reducing chemical waste isn’t just good practice, it’s good business.

The Problem: Spills, Overdosing, and Waste

On many farms, chemicals such as fertilisers, pesticides, drenches, and detergents are still poured manually from drums or handled using low-quality pumps. The result?

• Spillage during transfer
• Overdosing due to lack of flow control
• Product contamination from open drums
• Inconsistent application that affects crop yield or livestock health
• Inability to extract all the contents from the drum, leading to leftover waste

Even small daily losses can quickly add up to litres of wasted product and hundreds of dollars gone.

The Smarter Way to Pump: Ezi-action 200/55 Drum Pump

Tired of spills, strain, and wasted product? The Ezi-action 200/55 Drum Pump is purpose-built for 200-litre (55-gallon) drums and delivers safe, controlled chemical transfer.

Here’s why it’s a farm essential:

• Smooth, Effortless Flow – Manual pumping made easy, even with thick or corrosive liquids
• Highly Chemical Resistant – No rust, no clogging and no breakdown
• Leak-Free Drum Seal – Prevents contamination, splashes, and costly evaporation
• Power-Free Performance – No power, no problem—reliable pumping anywhere on the farm
• Built Tough – Polypropylene construction handles rough farm conditions for years
• Maximum Product Recovery – Designed to sit at the bottom of your drum, ensuring you get every last drop

Farmers rely on it for accurate, mess-free dispensing of fertilisers, teat spray, drench, detergents, and more straight from the drum, with zero waste.

Farming isn’t a 9–5 job. You need equipment that works when and where you do, whether that’s in the shed, in the field, or on the back of the ute. Ezi-action Drum Pumps are lightweight, portable, and built to withstand rugged conditions, harsh chemicals, and long-term use.

And if you use a variety of container sizes on your farm, the Ezi-action range also includes pumps for 20L, 60L and IBCs, each built to the same high standards.

Good for Your Wallet and the Planet

Wasting chemicals doesn’t just hurt your wallet, it can also harm the environment. Reducing chemical spills and improving accuracy helps prevent runoff into waterways and reduces the risk of accidental exposure for workers and animals.

It’s a small change that can make a big difference.
