Quick repayment of reused sand in combination with the possibility to delivering manure to biogas, even with sand bedding in the stables. These are two of the reasons why more Danish farmers have opened their eyes to sand separation. 

Last year (2020) six Danish dairy farmers have chosen a solution for sand separation from the American manufacturer Daritech, with is distributed all over the world outside North America by Mavasol. In the beginning of 2021, Mavasol' Sales Director, Klaas de Vries, organizes the so-called Insight Day to invite more Danish dairy farmers to look at the working products and figuring out the benefits of the systems yourself. 

The day will be organized within the measures, and much depends on the corona situation at that specific moment. There are great demands for sustainable solutions in Denmark, and we really want to show the farmers our products. Whether it will be in small groups on several farms, or the situation allowed to gather several at one single location, has not yet been clarified. One of the main benefits of the systems, it gives the opportunity to deliver manure for the biogas and degrease the carbon footprint, it sounded from the sales director when he was at the NutriFair fair in Fredericia last year.

Sand saving
According to the distributor, the separation plant allows for recycling between 85 - 97% of the sand. The sand can be reused after 2 - 3 weeks. The principle in sand separation is relatively simple. It is about getting the sand to settle before slowly running it up the snail form the slurry channel. in order for the yeast to adapt tot the liquid and thus helps the settlement on the way. Through a separator separating the ajlen, it pumps up into the tank, from where it is sent back to the slurry shaft and dilutes the slurry around the sand auger. While there are great savings in being able to recycle the vast majority of the sand, you also avoid a large extent of digging sand from the slurry tank.

​Four years ROI
Return on investment is average four years. And so it also provides the opportunity to reduce the carbon footprint by delivering to biogas plants, which normally will not receive manure from stables with sand bedding, as it wears too much on the system. At Mavasol, it is estimateded that the average repayment price of the plant for sand separations is around four years. In Denmark Mavasol is working together with a dealer, Agriteknik. A Danish company who speaks the language and can provide local service.
