Dairy manure is a sustainable and valuable resource. When managed properly, it impacts farm profitability and overall operation efficiency. Independently managing the solids and liquids gives the flexibility to determine the best way to use them. The GEA SlopeScreen™ is an excellent tool for liquid recycling and reducing solids manure stream down.
Automated washing system
When separating for water quality, the GEA SlopeScreen™ can remove a good amount of solids. This provides additional storage room in the lagoon with minimal effect on the nutrient value of the liquid. Water in the lagoon can then be irrigated or transported to the field for application.
When separating for solids, capturing the solids from the primary separation can be easily managed by an integrated XPress™ system. The GEA SlopeScreen™ brings the level of moisture in fiber down to approximately 80%. This is based on performance in optimum conditions. Be aware that performance may vary according to operating conditions, manure type, composition, and other external equipment factors.
By integrating a wash cycle into a high-pressure rinsing system, the washer removes soil from the front and internal compartments of the screen to keep operating capacity at a maximum without sacrificing water quality.
Existing systems on the market offer a high-pressure rinse only. The GEA OptiClean™ is a complete washing system like those found in bulk tanks and milking parlors.
The Vertical Dewaterer is used as a dewatering treatment prior to the roller press and can also be used as a stand-alone piece of equipment to thicken material for digestion or further treatment.
The GEA XPress™ is a modular fiber separation system with a step down concept which allows increased pressure at each step for optimal moisture removal.
