Udimore Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Stunning pics as always Graham. Nice to scroll back and see the development of the parlour. Yes nice to see ACS in full action. I know Charlie is chuffed to bits with the 828 Black beauty's and their performance has surprised him compared with his current and previous John Deeres. For those of us who grew up with the green & yellows being the dogs gangles its kindof sad really but life moves on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Fantastic pictures from you, Graham. You do get to see and work on some amazing farms and some of the transformations these farms are undergoing from you and the team of blokes you work with are phenomenal. Never had anything to do with dairy apart from the harvesting side of things so seeing these rotating parlours, automated scraper systems and so on is a real eye opener for this little herbert Nice to see Charlies kit being seen out and about too, those tyres are something else! Wouldn't want to snag a side wall on a gate hinge with one of them boots.That front fork is smart too with that kick off arrangement, again. . . new one on me! You Kent boys see all the fancy stuff, Fella I'll give you that. Remember seeing that crew out and about between grass so you never know, may get to see them again over the next few weeks. I did see the living van on Friday as I left Sheerness come to think of it. On a 6430, possibly. Forager has been suited and booted for the wet ground I see but where you were on this day it looks like pretty good going, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stabliofarmer Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Very interesting, I'd never herd of a sand separator before so had a quick Google, I wondered whether you could expand on it a bit, how exactly does it work? How does it get from shed to storage for seperation? what tanks does it go to to settle? where does it go after that? what are the sloping pools for? And does the seperated manure go into a slurry pit? I know an augers involved but where about in the process? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Very interesting , been working on a farm which has had a sand separator put in different make to that one. Does this have augers underneath the sheds too feed it and how many cows can a system that size deal with ? Like the scraper on the loadall looks a good bit of kit.

graham Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 an irrigator the sand pits are emptied with the loadall for spreading with the solids hopethis gives some in sight how system works regards graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stabliofarmer Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Thanks for the reply,so the waste waters used for irrigation? and is no solid manure produced? So is it clean sand in the pit dropping from the rollers and slurry in the sloping pit/tanks next to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 sorry james lost most of my reply the slurry moves from under the slats under its own weight it goes to a tank where it is mixed then a piston pump moves slurry up to separator, the solids are squezzed out and drop out of machine into a pile this is in the large block wall pit the liquids run down the grey pipework to the settlement tanks the way theyare built the liquid creeps round the end of the walls and the sand settles out the last two walls have weirs in as well ,the liquid then gets pumped away to irrigator and the sand pits can be emptied with loadall as can the solids from the pit the system is a USA design the scraper is built in USA as well. the rubber matting is fitted where the cows feed and a walkway to parlour the concrete was keeped 20 mm down so the mats are flush with concrete for scraping regards graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
