Manure Handling
Perhaps, one of the more challenging aspects of modern farming is the handling of manure. At Stonecrest Engineering, we strive to provide workable, long-term solutions to your manure handling.
Our goal is to develop a manure handling strategy that is simple to work with, but efficient in design. There are many aspects of manure storage and transfer to consider, including: number and type of animals, bedding materials, present scale and future expansion, farmstead layout, solid-liquid separation, further processing including bio-product manufacture, soil and groundwater conditions, local municipality restrictions, and land topography.
The manure handling system itself requires knowledge and experience in design that often determines how effectively that it will work. New processes such as vacuum as a replacement to scraper or flush change the way we must handle the manure or choose the system components.
