Cow Dung Dewatering Machine

Cow dung dewatering machine, developed by Tianzhong Machinery, offers an effective solution for managing dung waste by separating its solid and liquid components. This innovative equipment is essential for your dairy farms. Through dewatering, it reduces the moisture content in cow dung, resulting in a reduction in volume and odor, thereby making it easier to handle, transport, and store. More than that, the dewatered cow dung will bring high economic benefits to farmers.

At Tianzhong Machinery, we provide two types of cow dung dewatering equipment in various models and designs, namely, screw manure separator and sloped screen separator. Below are videos for your reference. Welcome to contact us for a manure processing solution for your farm.

When choosing between them for cow dung dewatering, it is important to consider the solid-liquid content of cow dung and the desired water content of the dewatered solid. If the solid content is high, a screw press machine will more efficiently achieve higher solid concentration. However, if the solid-liquid content is low, a slope screen separator could be a better choice. Besides, the screw manure separator will lower the water content to about 55-60%. While that of the sloped screen separator is about 80%. Welcome to contact us for the most suitable solution.

Cow Dung Dewatering Machine Price

At Tianzhong Machinery, the cow dung dewatering machine price starts from USD 1,000. The price covers the equipment price, including the motor, pump, pipe, etc. However, it is different due to some factors, for example, different models, materials, etc. We also offer some customized options, such as brand-name motor (Siemens), fully stainless steel materials, feeding system, etc. If you want more details about our manure dewatering machine, please contact us for the latest price.

Applications of Cow Dung Dewatering Machine

The cow dung dewatering machine is also versatile to process chicken manure, pig manure horse manure, and other animal waste. It can also be suitable for biogas dewatering, pulp and paper industry, wastewater treatment, food processing, dewatering spent grains, etc. At Tianzhong Machinery, we have different models to choose from. Also, we can equip the auxiliary equipment, such as a shredder, conveyor, etc. according to your needs.

Materials for Dewatering

Uses of Dewatered Cow Dung

After the dewatering process, the cow dung can be utilized in various ways:

1. Fertilizer or Composting

The dewatered cow dung contains a large amount of nitrogen, which can be directly used as fertilizer. Or it can be processed into organic fertilizer by adding compound raw materials after fermentation.

2. Animal Bedding

Dewatered cow dung can be used as bedding material for livestock, particularly in dairy farms. It can also be mixed with sawdust as a fungal bed for mushrooms.

3. Biogas Production

Dewatered cow dung is a valuable feedstock for biogas production. Cow dung is mixed with water and fed into biogas digesters, which convert it into biogas (mainly methane) and digestate. The best way to process separated liquid is to feed into biogas digesters.

4. Fuel

Dewatered cow dung can be dried and used as a fuel source. It can be shaped into briquettes, which can be burned directly as a source of heat and energy.

Key Advantages of Cow Dung Dewatering Machine

Efficient Moisture Reduction

The cow dung dewatering machine effectively reduces the moisture content of processed cow dung to around 60%. The dewatered manure is easier for further processing or disposal.

Wear Resistance

Our equipment is designed to withstand the abrasive nature of cow dung, containing sand and sediment. Its screw, blade screen are made from stainless steel and high-strength carbon steel, ensuring durability and a long service life.

Low Energy Consumption

Our machine combines solid-liquid separation and secondary squeezing in a single machine to lower the energy consumption. It is energy saving, resulting in lower energy costs and minimizing overall operating costs.

High Automation

Our manure dewatering machine runs continuously and features automatic alarm systems and overload protection system, ensuring safe and effortless operation. This automated system not only enhances processing efficiency but also reduces the need for constant manual monitoring to save your labor cost.

Working Principle

Generally, screw press separator is more popular in cow manure processing. The cow dung dewatering process is a mechanical dewatering method. It uses screw press equipment to mechanically squeeze out the liquid from cow dung. The working process is as follows:

Feeding: The water-soaked cow dung is fed into the machine through the pump. Please note that cow dung needs to be diluted with water first before feeding and then pumped to the manure separator.
Screw press: As the cow dung is pushed forward by the rotating screw, the pressure inside the machine increases. The liquid of the cow dung is squeezed out through screens. This liquid can be collected for further treatment or used as a liquid fertilizer.
Solid output: The solid material continues to be pushed forward by the screw and finally pushed out of the outlet. The separated solid manure contains a large amount of nitrogen and can be used directly to fertilize plants. It can also be fermented and processed into organic fertilizer by adding compound raw materials. Besides, it is also a great bacterial bed for mushroom production when mixed with sawdust.

As for the slope screen separator, the manure mixture will be filtered first by the inclined screen before the screw press. It can remove most water in the mixture. If your cow manure is with low solid content (<5%), it is better to use a sloped screen separator. You can find more videos on our YouTube Channel.
