don’t suppose you actually meant to type 250 miles?
What type of machine have you , I’m in Ireland and I’m thinking of doing something like yourself
I’d consider it if we had a quiet spell here. Call or WhatsApp to discuss.

I know every farm is different but what sort of tonnes of solids would you expect from 100m3 of slurry?

I can’t help but think it’s cheaper to just put a seperator in yourself for circa 40/50 grand.
contractor is going to charge well up over a pond or two a cube if output is only 50/100 cube an hour, don’t take long to stack the figures up there that in 3/4 years you’ve paid for one…!

That looks very smart. Could even mount it on the back of a truck to get it around the country quickly.
With solids set at about 18%dm i’d say about 8/9 ton on roughly.

You'll be lucky to start from scratch for less than 120k and running cost mount up at 15kwh of electric

But if you only want to pull some solid out when spreading in the spring/summer to reduce contamination on grass aftermaths?
And from what I hear you quickly become a ninja with a set of spanners and a pressure washer maintaining/repairing the damn things.

We put in a Bauer screw press seperator year before last for sub 50k including ground works building the bunker all pipe works pumps etc!
Runs for about 2 hours per day, don’t use much electric! We cleaned the screens out once at the start of this winter (so we knew it was done, it wasn’t blocked up), no wear on the screen or pump. I don’t know why anyone would want to separate some times but not others. Managment wise has been a breeze now with ‘slurry’ staying local where we can handle it easier and quicker and any solids carted off to away ground to spread quickly from a stockpile in each field.

its probably more efficient to have direct drive straight from the motors rather than various gearboxes to try & get the power to where its needed. Then you’ve got the fact it‘s just a cable rather than various shafts etc. Easier to route & less maintenance. Less bearings, greasing etc.
But the separators aren’t direct drive,they’ve reduction gearboxes.
Yes all the components would be used in a static system run by electric so an off shelf build,ie easier to build.

If anyone has a good deal on acid please let me know. Since Covid the price has been out of reach for us

I wouldn't want serious quantities of acids or alkalis on the place. They are a health hazard, never worth the risk. Bad enough having drums of concentrated hypo about.
