Grit Remover and Solids Disintegrator
Maybe you enjoy unblocking irrigator nozzles at the back of the farm? When you wash down the yard, it's not just effluent that gets sent to the irrigator or holding pond!
Dairy yards are sources of sand, stones, grit, ear tags, horn buds, corn cobs, bark chips, hoof trimmings, placenta, penicillin tubes, tail-paint can tops as well as the manure that has passed through the cow. But the sand wears out pumps and accumulates in ponds; the large articles block pipe lines, and the smaller ones get stuck in the traveling irrigator nozzles. You don’t need this to happen.
Our grit separator and solids disintegrator eliminates all tasks but one - you must still spread the grit that the machine tidily piles up for you. All the other materials are chopped and screened so that whatever goes to the pond or irrigator is seriously reduced in particle size and can cause no problems. Dairy farmers have usually tried to do with half-hearted ways to deal with this problem - now we can provide you with a tool similar to that used to pre-condition waste water at municipal treatment plants. Professional engineering is being introduced into agricultural waste water dispersal.
It works like this: When you wash down the yard, all the heavy sandy and gritty material is separated from the floating material in a liquid cyclone and conveyed onto a pile adjacent to the yard where it can be picked up and spread later. The light material passes out through the disintegrator on the top of the cyclone, and can’t escape until it is ground down to a size where it will pass through the 6 mm mill plates. It is then sent to your irrigation pump or holding pond.
A further feature of the device is its ability to pump large volumes to low heads. Thus it it can lift liquid from yard level up to the higher level of the distant effluent holding pond. This eliminates the need for a separate transfer pump.
The power consumption at peak is 2.2kW. Uses low speed cutting (1450 RPM) for long life. Cutters are easily replaced. Unlike unscreened cutters on pump inlets, nothing gets through this machine until its size has been reduced.
