Effective Cattle Manure Dewatering for Large-Scale Beef Farm Operations

2025-09-17

Project Background

A commercial beef cattle farm housing approximately 1,500 head of cattle was facing significant challenges in managing the daily waste production of roughly 45-50 cubic meters of liquid manure. Their existing lagoon system and basic settling methods were creating storage capacity issues and making it difficult to meet increasingly strict environmental discharge standards.

Key Operational Challenges

Lagoon system reaching capacity limits with odor concerns affecting neighboring properties
Wet manure requiring 3-4x more truck trips for disposal, increasing transportation costs by approximately $15,000 annually
State environmental agency requiring improved liquid discharge quality and reduced total suspended solids
Labor shortage making manual waste management increasingly difficult and expensive
Winter months creating additional challenges with freezing and variable manure consistency
Equipment downtime during peak waste production periods causing backup and overflow issues

Technical Solution Implementation

We spent time at the farm analyzing their waste streams and daily operations before recommending the LW650x2650C. This size gives them the throughput they need—handling their daily volume comfortably while leaving room for busier periods when cattle are confined more due to weather.

Equipment Technical Specifications

Material Construction & Corrosion Protection

Bowl assembly fabricated from duplex stainless steel (2205 grade) with enhanced chromium content for superior corrosion resistance. Conveyor flights feature tungsten carbide hard-facing on leading edges to withstand abrasive manure solids
Control System & Instrumentation

Siemens PLC control with 10" color HMI touchscreen, torque monitoring with automatic shutdown protection, vibration sensors on main bearings, and remote monitoring capability via Ethernet connection
Feed System Design

Accelerated inlet with adjustable feed pipe positioning, designed for 3-8% total solids content typical of diluted cattle manure. Includes polymer dosing port for flocculant addition when processing varies
Discharge Configuration

Adjustable solids discharge with variable beach length for cake dryness optimization, liquid overflow weir design for clear liquid separation, and wash water connections for equipment cleaning
