It depends on the DM% of the solid fraction.How much less liquid volume do you end up with once seperated? If youve slurry at 5%dm, do you only decrease volume by the 5%.

Didn’t really ask depends on what the sh1!s like I suppose,might try it when the lagoons full,24hours in a day likeHow many cubes can it do a hour/day?
£300 a day or £1500 for a week,4screens in it feeds it self
60k they saidHow much to purchase?

Cheaper to have a static unit?
Or multiple lagoonsMan wanted C£28K earlier this year for a small Separator ( up to about 150 cows I think ) tractor mounted pump/mixer plus pipes and wiring. So £60K ( provided the output is high enough) could be attractive if you fancied the option of some extra work?
Thinking of buying one of these mobile separators. I have been doing some calculations. It's roughly 100mins per standard beefhouse link. That's 15x10x8 tank per link. So three link tank 300mins at 20m3 per hour. How much can I charge?
The machine is 53k plus a generator and trailer to set it on plus a stacker belt.. So 60k really. Is there a demand for this?
Not sure yet. I suppose it depends on how much it costs . The law could change regarding green bedding and using a mobile plant with regard to desease control..
What are your thoughts, all input is OK. I don't expect to get rich doing this but a bit of money for food would be good
How do you test a separator for tb? Measure a grease nipple?Think you can call it closer to 70k by the time your set up properly then you need something to pull it. Tb would be a major concern
Hes correct of course. And a collection of other bodyfluid carried deseases. Especially out of a biodigester. You are trying to create an environment where bacteria thrive and moving a plant around that will be contaminated with everything. Then you use the dry materials to bed your cattle. Botulism is a major concern if some of your customers are using poultry litter. In the event of foot and mouth you would deffo be parked up.How do you test a separator for tb?

Buying this is not without risk . I'm busy talking myself out of it..

In reality, would you also at least want to offer the service of spreading the liquid fraction at the same time?
Otherwise , you are restricting your customer base to those with both a sufficiently large slurry amount to make it worth your while, plus either another pit, or the machinery to cope with 15m cube per hour ( from your example )
I think you'll find that green bedding works best when made fresh each day. Otherwise you'll have to take it all the way to compost.
It can start to heat quite rapidly
