Manure separator

Separating manure

From the mixing tank, the manure arrives in the DFP. In the steps Dewatering, Filtration and Pressing, the thick fraction is separated from the liquid part.

Inside the separator is a conical auger that brings the product to the back and squeezes out the liquid. The sieve gets finer and finer as the pressure increases (rear press) to ensure that the thin fraction contains minimal dry matter.

Separating manure is a conscious decision. The ultimate goal is to obtain an end product with a high phosphate content and a low volume to keep marketing costs as low as possible. To achieve a high separation efficiency for phosphate, a manure separator was chosen in combination with a polymer (clumping agent) addition. A phosphate yield of > 90% can thus be achieved.

The thick fraction has a dry matter content of about 30%. Important for the next steps is a low dry matter content in the thin fraction. If the content is too high, processing efficiency decreases and the percentage of mineral concentrate increases.
