Modern livestock operations face increasing pressure to manage manure efficiently, responsibly, and cost-effectively. From dairy farms in Wisconsin and Minnesota to large agricultural operations in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Iowa, manure handling is no longer just a routine task — it’s a critical part of operational success.
High-quality manure separation equipment helps farms reduce labor, improve nutrient management, and remain compliant with environmental regulations. That’s why many producers across the Midwest and beyond rely on AL-INS screw press separators to streamline their manure management systems.
What Is Manure Separation?
Manure separation is the mechanical process of separating solid materials from liquid manure. Using a screw press separator, manure is pushed through a screen, allowing liquids to pass through while solids are compressed and expelled.
This creates two valuable outputs:
- Dry solids suitable for bedding, composting, or soil amendment
- Liquid manure that is easier to store, pump, and apply to fields
Why Manure Separation Matters for Today’s Farms
1. Reduced Labor and Handling Costs
Separating manure reduces hauling frequency, pumping demands, and manual labor — a major benefit as labor shortages affect farms nationwide.
2. Improved Nutrient Management
Separated liquids spread more evenly on fields, improving nutrient absorption and reducing runoff risks.
3. Better Bedding Solutions
Dry solids can be reused as bedding, reducing material costs while improving cow comfort.
4. Environmental and Regulatory Compliance
States like New York, Pennsylvania, and Washington have strict nutrient and runoff regulations. Separation supports compliance by improving storage and application efficiency.
Why AL-INS Screw Press Separators Stand Out
AL-INS separators are designed and manufactured in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, using durable materials and field-tested designs.
Key advantages include:
- Heavy-duty stainless steel construction
- High-efficiency auger systems
- Custom AL-ZOID screen technology
- Multiple models for different herd sizes
From small family farms to large-scale operations, AL-INS provides solutions that grow with your needs.
Conclusion
Manure separation equipment is no longer optional — it’s a smart investment for modern farms. With improved efficiency, lower costs, and long-term durability, AL-INS separators help farms across Ohio and beyond operate more profitably and sustainably.
