Jim Vaughan invented the first chopper pump back in 1960, after working on local dairymen's pumps in his repair shop and realizing the need to "chop" the solids while pumping. Since then, Vaughan chopper pumps have been successfully applied on dairies where high reliability and low maintenance are demanded.  Applications for Vaughan chopper pumps on dairies included: 

• Barn Flush Pit

• Separator Feed

• Lagoons

• Digester Mixing - go to www.rotamix.com

• Scraped Manure

Bedding with bark, twine, wood and manure have been successfully chopped and pumped by this Vaughan 3" vertical wet well pump at the Goeres farm for almost 25 years.

Buford, Bill and Andy Goeres of Elma, Washington are 3 generations of Vaughan users over a 30 year period.
