Project Overview:
• Scale: 5,000 Head Dairy Farm
• Daily Capacity: 300 Tons of Raw Manure
• Equipment: Loway High-Pressure Belt Filter Press Series (Heavy-Duty)
The Challenge:
The client was operating under significant financial pressure due to the rising cost of sand bedding and strict local environmental discharge limits. With raw manure moisture at 85%, traditional screw presses could not lower the moisture enough for immediate reuse, leading to massive stockpiles and odor issues. They required a solution that could turn this liability into a sterile, usable asset.
Our Technical Solution:
Loway Equipment engineered a comprehensive “Flocculation + High-Pressure Filtration” line.
Operational & Economic Impact:
Bedding Self-Sufficiency: The farm now produces 120 tons of hygienic bedding daily. The material is fluffy, highly absorbent, and has improved cow lying time and comfort.
Energy Generation: Excess solids are mixed with straw (7:3 ratio) to create biomass pellets with a calorific value of 14MJ/kg, replacing 1,200 tons of coal annually for the farm’s heating boilers.
ROI Verification: With $570k in annual combined savings and revenue, the project achieved a full ROI in 1.8 years.
Project Overview:
• Scale: 6,870 Head Stock (Industrial Scale)
• Model: Third-Party Managed Service (BOO Model)
• Key KPI: Cost per ton & Discharge Compliance
The Challenge:
For this mega-farm, logistical efficiency was paramount. Traditional manure handling was labor-intensive and costly ($8.00+/ton). The client needed a “hands-off” solution that guaranteed compliance and bedding supply without distracting from their core business of milk production.
Our Technical Solution:
The facility utilizes Loway’s High-Pressure technology as a Secondary Dewatering Stage.
Operational & Economic Impact:
Dramatic Cost Reduction: Total processing cost was driven down to ~$4.90/ton, a 40% reduction compared to the previous operational model.
Environmental Compliance: The system achieved a true “Zero Discharge” loop. 100% of the solids are reused as bedding or fertilizer, and the filtrate is recycled, reducing the farm’s carbon footprint by 3,000 tons/year.
Reliability: The equipment has maintained an uptime of >98%, ensuring the farm never faces a waste backlog.
Project Overview:
The Challenge:
Individual small-to-mid-sized farms often lack the capital for advanced waste treatment. This cooperative needed a centralized, robust machine capable of handling varying manure consistencies from different sources while producing high-value commercial products to subsidize operational costs.
Our Technical Solution:
We installed a rugged, high-throughput Loway Belt Filter Press designed for versatility.
Operational & Economic Impact:
Community Revenue: The project generates substantial income from selling 5,000 tons of organic fertilizer and 3,000 tons of fuel rods annually.
Rural Development: The facility created jobs and an income stream for 30+ local households involved in the logistics and production chain.
Sustainability: By centralizing treatment, the region eliminated illegal dumping and significantly improved local soil and water quality.
