Dairypower - Manure Slurry Aeration Systems

The system was introduced to the export market in 2009, with many systems already installed in the UK, France, Czech Republic, and Cyprus. The system is relatively simple because it employs a low energy consumption electric motor and roots blower pump, electric rotary valves and sdf-closing neoprene non-return outlet valve. All the piping is 50mm class D uPVC which neither corrodes nor degrades. Working on a time switch, the system is fully automatic and would typically run for 3 – 4 periods each day without any need for human intervention. Furthermore, the running costs have been shown by independent evaluation to be as low as €1 per day.

The introduction of air into the storage tank has two main effects on the slurry – that of effective mixing caused by the physical action of rising air bubbles, and that of odour reduction of the promotion of aerobic bacteria which digest toxins, fatty acids and ammonia and reduce the biological oxygen demand of the slurry. In the event of a tank being neglected, the Slurry Aeration System installation is perfectly capable of mixing heavily crusted slurry. The Dairypower slurry aeration system can be installed in concrete tanks, slurry stores and lagoons.

The electric drive unit is designed for a long and trouble free life with low noise level.

The roots blower pump is protected by a suction filtration system, helping to extend the lifetime of all components. The system operates on a high volume low pressure basis (5 bar) so the smooth operation does not disturb the animals.

Adjustable air pressure makes it possible to optimize each plant to actual conditions.

• Air Roots Blower Pump with option of 100 – 240 cubic metres output per hour
• 1.5 – 4 kw Motor
• Oil Level Gauge
• Pressure Level Gauge
• Pressure Relief Valve
• Oil Suction Filter
• Silencer Housing

• Slurry is maintained in a homogeneous, easy-to-manage state
• Complete consistency – every load has the same uniform consistency with an even distribution of slurry nutrients.
• Improved palatability of grass
• Grass has a better regrowth rate after spreading
• Big savings on Fertilizer
• Low maintenance costs, no mechanical parts are in contact with the slurry
• Animal welfare (due to a great reduction of odour / gases during storage and spreading)
• Does not “tie up” a tractor
• Low Running Costs
• Low Capital Cost
• No risk of damage to the store
