A separator from Borger has helped a dairy farmer provide bedding material for his 240 cows, as well create useful feedstock for his biogas plant.
Also utilising control technology from Borger and a BLUEline rotary lobe pump, the dry solids (DS) content can be continuously adjusted with ease.
Thus, the farmer is able to select a high DS content (>30 %) for use as bedding material, and a low DS content (approx. 22 %) when the solid phase is to be delivered to the biogas plant.
The installation has created a 25% saving on storage capacity, and furthermore, the bacteria count in the cow’s milk has reduced to a very low level since the switch from straw to the separated manure.
Designed and built by Borger, the control unit of the energy-efficient Bioselect RC 40 Separator coordinates the operation of the feed pump, the liquid phase pump and the Separator. Automatic separation at required times can also be selected.
For easy maintenance and long-service life, the Bioselect RC 40 is also designed so that the drainage and press channels are positioned one after the other, which helps preserve the filter unit.
The rotating clearing auger is also designed in such a way that it does not come into contact with the screen. Abrasive parts cannot cause any damage to the surface area here; helping increase the longevity of all components.
