Dairy Farms Sand Separation Solutions

The dairy farms sand separation solutions can separate sand from manure, allowing the sand to be recycled as a bedding layer for more efficient manure management. The simplest method is to install a feed hopper and a spiral sand washing machine, which can produce clean sand products with a moisture content of about 30%. In order to shorten the sand drying time, a high-frequency dewatering screen can be added to the system, so that the sand will be further cleaned and dehydrated. The final water content of the sand will be less than 15%.

How dairy farms sand separation solutions work?

The sandy manure is washed down a gently sloping concrete alley where the slower water flow causes the sand to settle. Use a forklift to shovel the sand out of the tunnel and pour it directly into the hopper, which then evenly feeds it into the spiral sand washing machine for cleaning. During the cleaning process, water is added to the hopper and mixed with the sand for thorough washing. Organic matter is separated from the sand and floats with the liquid through the tail weir overflow. The remaining clean sand moves upward along the spiral and is discharged to the high-frequency dewatering screen for dewatering. All water, organic matter, and some fine sand flow back to the roadway.

Why use dairy farms sand separation solutions?

A clean, dry barn with thick sand is comfortable for cows, and more comfortable bedding can extend the time cows spend lying down. Generally, the longer cows lie down, the higher their milk production. However, dealing with manure containing a lot of sand becomes a big challenge.
