Trailer mounted slurry separator launched

• Vogelsang has launched a new trailer mounted XSplit unit to appeal to contractors and multi-site farms looking to improve slurry quality before application

The trailer enables contractors to offer separation as a service or can be used on farm to separate slurry or digestate in almost all locations.

“The new XSplit trailer is much lighter than previous versions and will come with the option of a remote-control system that can be operated using a mobile phone,” says Vogelsang’s Andy Hayhurst.

The 4G enabled remote control technology, that can be linked to a phone and is part of a new control system available on the ‘expert’ model, brings with it greater flexibility and reliability.

“The new remote system will enable one operator to use the trailer unit more safely. For greater safety it also features two boxes, one for high and another for low voltage,” says Mr Hayhurst.

Mounted on the brand’s Pro Frame, the XSplit weighs in at 3.1 tonnes and has been designed to sit low to the ground for better stability and balance during transport and operation.

“15mm rubber discs seal the whole chamber so operators will not have to form a plug manually. Time is also saved by the dry matter content adjustment which is both quick and easily. These small but important differences make the XSplit safer, especially for operators who may not be accustomed to using separators,” adds Mr Hayhurst.

As demand for separation grows, trailer systems offer the option to have slurry separated, on occasion, to help free up space, or to separate slurry in harder to reach storage.

“The new trailer offers all the functionality of the XSplit in a light, mobile package that can help safety-manage slurry in multiple locations, and we believe that with the pressures livestock farms face that it will be a welcome solution,” concludes Mr Hayhurst.
