Solids separator
A. O. Smith Engineered Storage Products has introduced a new solids separator for use with above-ground Slurrystore dairy manure tanks.
The Sierra KP-10 uses a stainless steel auger turning inside a perforated screen to squeeze liquid from the manure.
Solids can be composted and sold as fertilizer. Properly handled, the composed material can be used as bedding. The time spent applying liquid manure to fields can be reduced and stored liquid manure with less solids has less odor.
The unit is powered with a 7.5 h.p. electric motor.
