Screw press separators bigger, faster and safer

Written by 

SCREW PRESS separators new from PPP Industries are bigger and more powerful than earlier models and will need less maintenance, says general manager Nick Morison. The new models – EYS SP 400, 600 and 800 – suit farms with 200-3000 cows.

 

Morison says the new offering gives farmers the option of smaller but still robust separators for herds from 200–400, then two larger machines for greater cow numbers.

The SP 400 (2.2kW) suits herds of 200–400 cows; the SP 600 (5.5kW) suits 400–1800 cows. It has a high capacity outlet. For herds bigger than 1800 cows, the SP 800 has a longer screen and 11kW power.

Teflon guide rails, fitted as standard, make maintenance easier. “If the seal goes in this there is no risk of liquid getting into the gearbox. For considerably less money we can offer customers a better machine.”

Morison says the separators also use cutter bolts to deal with long fibers, and have tungsten carbide-coated stainless steel augers and reinforced stainless steel screens.

PPP Industries has imported screw press separators since 2002. Applications include piggeries, meat works and truck wash stations to separate solids from liquids. 

Morison says the processing is so effective that it removes anything larger than 0.50mm from effluent. “It reduces the volume of slurry by separating it into stackable, drip-free solids and easily spreadable nutritious liquids. 

“The solid product becomes very easy to spread with a spreader.”
