- Squeezes water out of liquid manure
- Separates solids into piles of dry solids
- The only separator that works with thick slurries and dilute waste waters
- Cleaning every 3-4 months only
- Meets environmental effluent standards
- Reduces solids content of manure
- Reduces size of new pits and lagoons
- Reduces pollutant nutrient content
- Re-use solids for bedding
- Re-use liquids for flushing
- Recycle solids for refeeding
- Prolongs life of existing lagoons
- Minimizes costs of hauling water
- Improves biological treatment
- Minimizes odour
- Reduces field spreading acreage
- Solids moisture content 60-70%
- Easy and very safe to use
General Description
Slurry is collected, mixed and pumped to the separator, with any excess returning to the collection pit. As slurry floods into the auger chamber the vibrator energizes the fluid for increased dewatering capacity in the screen section of the press screw separator.
Dewatering takes place initially by gravity as the free water passes through the screens and exits through the effluent nozzle in the separator body. Bonded water that is attached to the solids is squeezed out by the compressing action that occurs within the last two turns of the auger flights. The last flight turns are reinforced and heat treated to withstand the high pressures of the compression process.
Desired solids moisture is regulated by weights that control the exit door pressure. Dewatered manure solids fall freely from the auger into the receiving pile ready for composting for other use. Effluent liquid goes into storage for recycling.
The PSS separates solids out of a liquid or slurry waste. By separating the solids and liquids - two distinct products are created. This creates many advantages in dealing with effluent as the liquids are much easier to disperse direct into irrigators, ponds etc and solids will compost down quickly creating great fertiliser.
