Bauer will be one of the exhibitors at the new two-day Muck Management show taking place next month in Rhyl, north Wales.
Bauer’s focus will be on separating slurry into its liquid and fibrous fractions for easier storage and application to make optimum use of the nutrients and organic matter these materials provide, says Rob Jackson, area sales manager, Bauer UK & Ireland.
This will include Bauer and FAN Separator screw separation machines with typical maximum throughputs from 16 to 150 cube per hour. Both makes work on the same principal – squeezing the incoming slurry against a slotted screen in a screw press so that the liquid fraction can flow out into a storage tank or lagoon while the fibrous solids are discharged into a storage pit or trailer.
The special FAN 3.3-780 Green Bedding model achieves the highest compression pressure and liquid extraction, resulting in a soft, fluffy material that makes a comfortable cubicle bed for cows to lie on.
In addition to separators, examples of Bauer’s above-ground and submerged slurry pumps will be shown, along with a slurry agitator/mixer, while a 20,000 litre Bauer poly tanker will take part in the working machine programme. The actual tank on these is formed from hand-layered woven polyester sheets finished on the outside with a Gelcoat layer that protects against the tank’s corrosive contents. Another benefit of this construction is the at the tank is lighter for its capacity than steel alternatives
“Together with the corrosion-resistant galvanised chassis, the Gelcoat results in Bauer poly tankers cleaning up really well, looking like new even after a lot of use and resulting in strong re-sale values,” notes Rob Jackson.
