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. 

Chemical substances, oils or other media require particularly high precision technology during transport. To ensure that the industrial media gets from A to B safely, state-of-the-art technology that is precise and meets all safety criteria is required. Aggressive media must not be lost during the transportation process or cause contamination during loading and unloading. But which pumping solution is suitable for making the critical step of filling as safe and fast as possible?

hanseWasser, a company in the water management sector, relies on innovative technology to guarantee efficiency and sustainability. Two type VX136-105Q pumps from Vogelsang are installed in one of their large flushing trucks. These pumps play a central role in water recovery in the vehicle body, which is particularly important for large-scale sewer flushing in urban sewage networks. The VX136-105Q pumps are characterized by their compact design, high delivery rate, and easy service, making them the ideal choice for this task.

Biogas plant operators face increasing economic and technical pressures: rising energy costs, stricter regulations for storage and fertiliser use, and the growing demand for operational efficiency. One often underestimated lever for optimisation is the separation of digestate – especially with a powerful screw press separator. This technology helps reduce operating costs, improve gas production, and ensure regulatory compliance more easily.

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.

For three decades, our traffic engineering department at Vogelsang has been shaping the future of mobility with innovative solutions and customized service.

Sewage treatment plants around the world are facing constantly growing challenges. From rising energy costs and increased legal requirements to the shortage of skilled workers - we will show you how we can support you.

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.
