How LightSpeed Adds Value to Your Operation
Puck knows from decades of experience in manure pumping that balancing multiple pumps on a single line can be difficult. That’s why we created an automated solution with the LightSpeed control system. With LightSpeed controls, you can operate your entire pump control system from a single screen. The automated control system is compatible with any carrier, plan, or device, enabling you to access your information and controls from any web-enabled screen.
Maximize Control and Efficiency
LightSpeed’s control system gives users the ability to monitor a variety of operating parameters of their manure pumps. Open and close gates, view inlet and outlet pressure, throttle the engine up or down, turn the engine on and off, and more. The line can shut down instantly if breached, either by an operator or via auto-throttle. With operating controls for the entire line available from a single screen, the risk of spills and cavitation are limited to a single person’s reaction time. Take that reaction time a step further with the near real-time reactions of LightSpeed’s auto-throttle settings. Operators preset inlet and outlet pressures for LightSpeed to monitor. The line shuts down automatically if operational parameters fall outside of the user-defined presets.

Crew Safety
The additional layer of safety LightSpeed provides can be a weight off your crew’s shoulders. Cleaning the line can be dangerous with so much air pressure in a hose, but LightSpeed allows crew members to stay a safe distance away. Shoot kickballs or bullets and purge the line from inside the tractor cab with LightSpeed. Team personnel can load the purge ball and get the air compressor ready to go before moving a safe distance away. With your crew far from hoses, you can shoot the pig with confidence.
Streamline Operations with Management Software
Additionally, LightSpeed provides detailed manure management software. Owners and operators can view pump efficiencies, reports on maintenance schedules, fuel levels, and more. With a 99% uptime guarantee, LightSpeed data is instant and timely, with reliably fast reaction times. LightSpeed records the hours of when the engine oil, air filter, hydraulic filter pump gearbox, and other parts were changed, so you know when service is needed. Plus, engine warnings are displayed on all screens and logged, so you have a detailed pump history in your hands. Planning for manure application jobs is also made easier with features for field mapping, job billing, and more.

Customer Service
Another value added to your operation with LightSpeed is the ability to troubleshoot. With any issue that arises, you can call Puck and talk to a customer service representative about your operation. Puck staff can access your LightSpeed control system to see your entire line in real time, as well as historical data. Puck’s customer service team can work with you to find a solution to anything outside of your desired operating parameters.
