LAMMA launch for compact separator
- A new compact slurry separator will be launched at LAMMA 2025
- Vogelsang’s XSplit Compact press screw separator is a smaller, more affordable option for farms looking to improve slurry management
“The Compact features much of the same technology as the full sized XSplit model but is better suited to farms with up to 100 cows. It is a fixed separator, and, due to its compact dimensions, it can be housed more easily in smaller farm buildings and moved between buildings if necessary,” says Vogelsang’s Andy Hayhurst.
The new model will be on show for the first time in the UK at LAMMA. Capable of up to 10 m³/h the unit weighs just 875 kilos and features a 4KW power pump. Clever tine holders also offer the potential for the separator to be moved and relocated more easily if housing is split across a farm.
“Like the larger model, the Compact will separate up to 40 percent dry matter,” adds Mr Hayhurst.
The XSplit Compact features VarioAdjust, a hydraulic closure unit that provides full control over solids output, dry matter content and throughput. A pressure gauge offers precise control up to a pressure of 25 bar using the hydraulic pump and no tools are required.
“The XSplit Compact also adjusts to the amount of solids automatically, and the constant back pressure, which features a nitrogen bubble system, compensates for any fluctuations in the material being processed,” says Mr Hayhurst.
The Vogelsang stand at LAMMA will also have the full size XSplit in its trailer mounter, mobile specification which is likely to appeal to contractors. This sees the XSplit mounted on to a trailer that acts as a self contained, towable unit for use in multiple locations.
The latest BlackBird and UniSpread application units will be available to see and discuss with Vogelsang’s technical team.
“The BlackBird range has also been recently added to, with the new Light model. It is available with 12 metre and 15 metre booms and has a transport width of just 2.99 metres. It also features lighter plastic skids that have the same durability as the cast iron versions on the Pro model,” explains Mr Hayhurst.
Vogelsang will exhibit all models at LAMMA, hall 12, stand 230.
