The 5 biggest advantages of slurry separation

Slurry separation offers farmers numerous operational advantages: in addition to more efficient, plant-friendly application of the liquid phase and the versatile use of the separated solids, one of the biggest advantages of using a separator is the massive savings in storage capacity. By separating the slurry into solid and liquid components, storage capacity on the farm can be increased by up to 25%! This not only means less space is required, but also that existing resources are used more efficiently. The solid component of the slurry can be transported in a space-saving manner or stored on slabs, while the liquid phase can be pumped directly into storage in the same step. The solid phase can be profitably passed on to biogas plants and used for energy production. 

The challenges of liquid manure spreading in dry weather:
Slurry spreading poses particular challenges for farmers, especially during periods of dry weather. Drought causes the liquid components of the slurry to penetrate the soil quickly, while the solid fibrous matter remains on the surface. These fibers can affect the quality of the forage as they can be mixed with the grass during the next cut. This is a serious problem that can affect animal health.

Manure, often regarded as a waste product, has become an indispensable source of nutrients in modern agriculture.

Maintenance steps and tips using the VX rotary lobe pump as an example

Whether for application on tankers, self-propelled vehicles or at the slurry pit on the farm, the pumping technology in agricultural applications must reliably pump the liquid manure and be insensitive to foreign matter such as fibrous matter, stones, ear tags or claw blocks. To ensure that it works reliably during the slurry season, it should be serviced regularly.

New year, old conflicts. In the meantime, slurry driving has also become an unpopular season in the countryside. Farmers are often confronted with a multitude of complaints. With this post, we hope to be able to give you some tips for a peaceful coexistence that suits all parties.

The potato – you can find it in almost every kitchen. Hardly any other food can be used in so many different ways, whether as baked potatoes, dumplings or mashed potato. As a popular staple, however, this tuberous plant has only been intensively cultivated and harvested in Germany since the 18th century. But how do you successfully grow potatoes, and is fall fertilization using manure an option?

Work smarter, not harder. This is now possible with the complete set SynCult from Vogelsang. This is because it can be used to combine tillage and liquid manure application in an efficient way. The SynCult has been designed by Vogelsang to be easily mounted on any tillage equipment and ensure the same performance. For companies, this means less work and additional cost savings. Read here how you can use SynCult for your arable fields.

Efficient tillage is essential for the healthy growth of plant crops. But what possibilities do technical approaches offer? The Strip Till process relies on strip tillage. But what does it depend on for an optimal yield and what are the benefits for the user in practice? We discuss all the details and introduce you to the Xtill by Vogelsang.

Fit for field use – Maintaining liquid manure spreading technology: Is your liquid manure spreading technology fit for field use?

To ensure that liquid manure spreading runs smoothly and efficiently, we recommend regularly checking the functional capability of the spreading systems. In addition to the booms themselves, important components such as the precision distributor should also be put to the test. This ensures that the liquid manure is spread evenly over all the discharge hoses of the respective spreading system – precise liquid manure spreading made easy. High distribution accuracy ensures uniform fertilization and thus uniform plant growth.

Using the Vogelsang precision distributor ExaCut ECQ as an example, we will show you the most important maintenance steps. In our example, the ExaCut ECQ is installed in the Vogelsang dribble bar system SwingMax with a working width of 21 meters.

Why Dirk and Hubert Schulze Roberg opted for Vogelsang dribble bar technology in response to the German law on fertilizers

On agricultural plants, the German law on fertilizers is making itself more evident than ever. In order to protect waters, vegetation and the environment, specifications on the spreading of liquid manure are
becoming increasingly stringent. Longer blocking periods are creating an increased demand for spreading technology since more work needs to be carried out in a shorter time.
