Slurry Separators

NC Slurry Separators provide huge environmental benefits with greater flexibility making more economic sense.

NC Slurry Separators have been around for many years, separating all kinds of slurries and liquid wastes:  working in factories, farms and industrial plants. They are now recognised as one of the most efficient and cost effective separators in operation today.



Features and Benefits



The NC system is both simple and efficient, producing valuable fibre for composting and nutrient rich, fibre free liquid, ready for application on to the land.

Just some of the benefits The NC Separator uses a unique brush and roller system to produce several valuable end products. Separated fibre can be composted and sold to other industries, etc or spread on to the land as an organic fertilizer – this enhances the soil structure and encourages an increase in the worm population. The nutrient rich liquid can be applied directly to root system, assisting immediate plant uptake. Reduces risk of run off. No fibre to lodge on plant foliage where ammonia and nitrogen are easily released into the atmosphere. The nitrogen is applied more efficiently as it goes straight to the root system. Separating manure allows producers to effectively control nutrients in both solids and liquids. All foreign objects are removed from slurry or liquid waste before it is applied to land. Less volume of liquid to handle. Paddocks can be grazed within 3 – 4 days of application. If used correctly, a typical 150-cow unit, with followers, could produce over £7000 value of potential nutrients. Fertilizer bills could be reduced up to 75% as separated slurry can be spread throughout the growing season. Separated liquid goes directly into the soil and does not lodge on growing silage crops. Hits the growing plant for maximum response and without contaminating the leaf. Reduced odour as slurry is not lying on ground to cause smell. Can be applied by band Spreader/Dribble Bar making more use of nutrients and also reducing odour. If ground is over rich in phosphate it is possible to reduce phosphate in slurry by up to 50% in a simple cost effective manner.

Specifications

The Separator operates on a simple basis:

After mixing, the liquid slurry is pumped to the Separator weir box, then it flows onto the first perforated screen where the separating process begins. The liquid slurry is slowly brushed the full length of the screen to remove most of the liquid before entering the second chamber where remaining fibre is pressed and brushed the full length of the screen again to ensure the maximum amount of liquid is removed.
