Slootsmid Installs High-Quality Manure Separation System
Borculo, January 31, 2025 – Slootsmid Mesttechniek continues to lead in innovative manure processing with its latest turnkey solution: an advanced manure separation system. This cutting-edge system, featuring a GEA decanter, is fully housed in a 40ft container, offering an efficient and sustainable approach to manure management. With its outstanding separation efficiency and high reliability, it effectively meets the growing demand for high-quality manure processing while preserving essential nutrients.
Innovative On-Site Manure Processing
Slootsmid designed the system for large-scale operations, the fully insulated container system delivers an impressive processing capacity of 40m³ per hour. It combines the high-speed GEA Prime 6000 decanter with various input and output pumps, a Slootsmid SF6E macerator, and a 15-meter-long, automatically mobile discharge screw for solid fractions. This intelligent system operates autonomously and supports remote monitoring, ensuring maximum control and flexibility for users.
Flexible and Ready-to-Use Solution
Since Slootsmid fully integrated the system into a container, the installation required no structural work on-site, making the process quick and effortless. The container was designed with user-friendliness and durability in mind, featuring the following modifications by Slootsmid:
- Equipped with a sliding roof for maintenance access
- Divided into three compartments and fitted with access doors
- Control room with overpressure system and climate control
- High-quality finish with epoxy coating and customer-specified color
- Reinforcements for the decanter
- Stainless steel central shaft and discharge screw
- LED lighting for optimal visibility and safety
Additionally, the system’s mobility ensures adaptability to future operational changes, enhancing long-term usability and investment value.
Technology of the Future: GEA Prime 6000
The core of the system is the GEA Prime 6000 decanter, a high-speed separator that efficiently separates solids and liquids using centrifugal forces (G-forces). Key benefits include:
- A separation efficiency of up to 40% nitrogen and 70% phosphate
- Full PLC control that automatically adjusts the speed to the manure input, minimizing energy consumption
- Outstanding performance and long service life
Maximizing Efficiency & Sustainability
With a processing capacity of 40m³ per hour, this system ensures efficient and cost-effective manure management. By processing manure on-site, farmers reduce reliance on third-party service providers, lowering costs and increasing operational independence. As a result, this investment strengthens the foundation for future-proof, sustainable farm operations.
