HOW THE ACCENT MANURE SEPARATOR WORKS

The Accent Manure Separator is designed to split the nutrient loads into two streams by separating the manure slurry into its two basic components solids and liquid. Designed for pumped flow, the separator is installed between the barn and the lagoon or in the designated location of a new treatment system. The separator may be installed using standard construction materials and practices.

Various installation configurations provide the flexibility to fit the Accent Manure Separator into any existing and or future sites.

Density, particle size and specific gravity characteristics of the manure are reflected in the design considerations of the Accent Manure Separator. Perforation size and screen configuration have been selected to accommodate automated operation achieving maximum efficiencies, durability, reliability and simplicity.

Manure Separator Construction

The Accent Manure Separator may be installed in new or existing facilities using standard construction practices. The separator is available on a stainless steel frame for turn-key installation. Cold weather operations will require a cover structure for winter (below freezing) operation.

Electrical requirements for the Accent Manure Separator is 3.75 HP total, single or three phase An optional electrical control panel can be provided for automatic or manual operation.

Accent IFRS 36 Separator

The Accent IFRS 36 is an internally fed contra shear separator developed specifically for separating slurry mixtures into solids and liquids. The Accent Manure Separator is very effective at solids separation and can achieve relatively low moisture levels when used with the Accent RP 36 Roller Press.

The Accent Manure Separator consists of a horizontal revolving perforated drum screen. The slurry to be separated is pumped onto the screen sidewall. Contra shear forces generated by rotating the screen in the opposite direction of the input flow shearing the solid out of the slurry mixture. The liquids flow through the screen and are discharged for storage or further treatment. The solids are conveyed out of the drum screen by means continuous flighting. The solids are stockpiled or fed into the RP 36 Roller Press for further dehydration.

The IFRS separator may be used as a stand-alone enhancement for existing manure systems or may be incorporated into any new treatment systems where solid liquid separation is an integral part of the process. The Accent Manure Separator can be used for a variety of applications and will operate in flush barns with sand bedding as well as many other demanding systems.
