How we make a difference with Enviro Sand Separator

Efficiency, comfort and innovation in one package.

1. Reduce veterinary costs


  • Improved hygiene and lower risk of mastitis.
  • Unlike organic bedding such as straw or sawdust, bacteria cannot grow in sand.
  • Positive effect on hoof health.
  • It reduces stress on the hooves as it acts as a natural shock absorber.

2. Ensure the welfare of your animals.

  • Sand moulds naturally to the cow's body and provides a soft and stable lying surface.
  • This reduces the risk of joint damage compared to mattresses or concrete.
  • This provides a low bacteria concentration environment, which reduces the risk of mastitis (udder inflammation).
  • Sand drains liquid well and keeps the cubicles dry.
  • It promotes natural resting behaviour, which can increase milk production.
  • Sand provides a non-slip surface, reducing the risk of injury and lameness.

3. Solve your sand problems on soil and agricultural machinery

Disadvantages for farmland and crops
  • Accumulation of sand in the soil - Over time, sand can build up in the plough layer, which can alter soil structure and water retention, especially in clay soils where it can reduce the soil's ability to retain nutrients and moisture.
  • Poorer soil structure - Too much sand in the soil can lead to a more loose and unstable structure, which can negatively affect root formation and water flow.
  • Increased risk of erosion - Sand can make surface soil more susceptible to wind and water erosion, especially on sloping surfaces.
  • Uneven distribution of nutrients - Sandy slurry can lead to uneven nutrient distribution as the sand can settle in the tank during transport and change the composition of the slurry.
Disadvantages for agricultural machinery
  • Increased wear and tear on machines - Sand acts as an abrasive that wears down pipes, pumps, valves, mixers and spreading equipment, which can lead to more frequent repairs and shorter machine life.
  • Clogging of pipes and spreaders - Sand can build up in hoses and spreading equipment, which can lead to downtime and require more maintenance.
  • Higher energy consumption - Transporting and delivering sandy slurry requires more energy as the sand increases the weight of the slurry and makes it harder to pump and mix.
  • Deposition in storage tanks and channels - Sand settles quickly in storage tanks and slurry separation plants, which increases the need for frequent cleaning and can reduce the capacity of slurry centres.
  • Economic challenges - Overall, sand in slurry poses a number of practical and economic challenges for farmers, both in terms of soil quality, machine maintenance and the efficiency of slurry nutrient utilisation.

4. Hassle-free farm management

  • Save money on sand purchases - as it is recycled and the environmental impact of unnecessary sand transport.
  • Reduced vet bills - as the cows thrive better.
  • Less wear and tear on equipment - Sand acts as an abrasive that wears down pumps, pipes, mixers and spreading equipment. Sand-free slurry extends the lifetime of machines and reduces maintenance costs.
  • Less risk of clogging - Sand can build up in pipelines and spreaders, which can lead to blockages and downtime. Sand-free slurry ensures a more uniform and trouble-free application.
  • Lower fuel consumption - Heavier sandy slurry requires more energy to pump, agitate and spread, which increases fuel consumption. Sand-free slurry makes the process more energy efficient.
  • Less sedimentation in slurry tanks and channels - Sand settles in storage tanks and channels, requiring more frequent cleaning. Sand-free slurry reduces the need for cleaning and maintenance.
  • Increased durability and fewer replacements - Sand does not decompose over time, which means it can be reused if separated correctly.
  • Long-lasting efficiency - Unlike rubber or foam mattresses that can wear out and require replacement, sand remains effective for a long time.

5. Biogas production

Sand separation - a prerequisite for biogas production
  • For farmers who want to deliver slurry to a biogas plant. Sand in the slurry can cause significant operational problems for the biogas plant.
Why is sand a problem?
  • Wear and tear on pumps and equipment - Sand is an abrasive material that wears down pumps, pipes and agitators, which increases maintenance costs and can shorten equipment life.
  • Accumulation in tanks - Sand sinks to the bottom of the reactor tanks and can eventually build up a layer that reduces the effective reactor volume and thus biogas production.
  • Downtime and cleaning - As sand builds up, reactors may need to be emptied and cleaned more often, resulting in long and costly production stops.
Advantages of sand separation
  • Increased equipment lifetime - Less wear and tear on machines and pumps means fewer repairs and replacements.
  • Lower operating costs - Fewer shutdowns and cleanings mean lower operating costs and higher productivity.
