Is there such thing as a mobile slurry separator? Say someone with a big generator running a pump and a seperator with the liquid going into a nurse tank to be pumped away by your tanker?

Don't think they work fast enough to make a mobile one worth it. Our NC separator runs about 10 hours a day in winter for 300 cows.

Saw one at a show, looked a good job. It would draw out of tank and pump away or recycle. I thought it would be a good thing to offer my customers until I asked the price 
. Just didn't stack up. I'll see if I can find the name.

I thought they must exist, I guess they could have a couple of seperators if needed to improve output, just think would be a handy tool in the summer when slurry is thick only just want the N, have hardly managed to pump any slurry this summer as too much DM and seemed to be scorching the grass even when using a trailing shoe.

Think most separators work best with thin slurry. If it’s to thick it doesn’t flow well enough to get throughput. Would need to add back some of the extracted water and mix back in before going through chopper pump to separator.

I don’t think the thickness of the slurry would cause a issue with separating was more that I didn’t want to be bringing it back in with the silage 5 weeks after spreading it.

There’s some massive setups on YouTube especially the artic ones like 20seperstors on one trailer,our slurry always thick in the summer we’re always adding water etc,I’m goin to make one this winter I’m not paying 30 odd grand for one.at the moment I’m looking at making a Rotavac one rotary drum sucks the moisture out they use them for extracting powder so the solid should be well dry.be easy to spread on the maize ground then

Is that a rotary screen one or a screw machine ? Ours is a Carier rotary screen ,and does 70 cows worth of slurry ,in winter from covered yard , about 50 minutes a day.
As has been said , you need the liquid to carry the solids to the screen , porridge takes a bit more time , and a clean clean screen helps tremendously (Ours tends to block up a bit with particles from the sawdust and I need to keep the turbo lance on it ,every week or so)
Screw machine. Doesn't mind thick slurry but you do need it thin enough to pump it up to the machine. I wouldn't even consider contract separation to be honest. Every farms slurry is different and these machines normally need fine tuning to each farm

Bauer do what we call a “plug and play” unit which includes a packaged system with feed pump, effluent pump and control system which can be trailer mounted to make it mobile. Depending on separator size this will do up to 200 / 250 cows per hour. This is dependent on slurry consistency though.
We can also provide packed trailer units with multiple machines to expand the possibilities.
If you want to know more send me an email address and I’ll give you some more info.

The info everyone wants, is a guide to the cost.

Ah ha, the magic numbers [emoji3][emoji3]
Depending on machine size between 40 and 50 k
This compares very well with the cost of a conventional static separator installation at around 50k including ground works, platform, etc.

Slurry Kat had something at ploughing championships here this year but didn't get info of it . Might be on web site.
Edit:: have looked it up . It's a Doda green bedding unit

Right then so we know what someone needs to buy, who’s going to buy one and go around contracting? I will book 2 days next summer.

I did consider it but came to the conclusion that what I would need to charge and what I would be able to charge didn't match up.
