Bauer has extended the range of mobile separators with a new Plug & Play Elevator, that can lift the separator 4.3m into the air to increase options for discharging.
It shares many of the same components as the standard trailer-mounted model, including a galvanised steel frame housing a pump, all necessary pipework and an enclosed control panel, with a choice of screw press separators mounted on top.
However, it also incorporates a parallel lift structure with slurry intake and separated dirty water pipes, so that the separator can be positioned to discharge the solids into a trailer or spreader.
“Like our current mobile unit, the Plug & Play Elevator is a solution for large farms with more than one dairy unit and slurry storage and handling facilities, only with greater flexibility in terms of how the solids are managed,” says Adrian Tindall, UK & Ireland sales manager at Bauer.
“For contractors, both mobile units provide an opportunity for providing an on-farm service that brings more controlled nutrient management without the capital investment needed for a fixed installation.”
Both the S655 and S855 screw-and-screen separators can be used with the new Elevator package, with the former achieving throughputs of 30cu m/hr and capable of handling dry matter levels up to 32%. The latter has the same dry matter performance but increases output to 40cu m.
