DP Manure aeration systems

The World’s First Manure Aeration System

DP invented the world’s first Manure Aeration System, revolutionizing manure management for farmers. This innovative system automates manure mixing, ensuring a consistently homogeneous and pumpable state without the need for labor or human intervention. It offers a safer, smarter, and more cost-effective solution, significantly reducing the reliance on chemical fertilizers and enhancing environmental sustainability in the dairy, beef, and hog farms globally.

Each system is custom designed for each storage facility. Regardless of the manure density or type, the system is custom configured to ensure optimum performance, leading to complete consistency of manure and the even distribution of nutrients.

Got Questions? We Have Answers!

I have multiple manure tanks. Do I require a pump unit for each of them?2024-07-16T12:52:45+00:00

No. Our Smart Manure Aeration System can run up to 105 lines from one pump unit and control box. This is usually plenty to cover multiple tanks if required from the one set up. With forethought and planning, the initial system would be installed with the best sized pump and controller to accommodate for future additional tanks to be connected – meaning not all tanks need to be completed straight away. This is perfect for retrofitting to older tanks if building a new storage facility.

How long does the system last?2024-07-16T12:53:09+00:00

Our systems are built to last. We have many systems (including our original test units) that are still running with original pipework, pump and control box for over 25 years!

Will I still need to agitate just before extracting the manure?2024-07-16T12:53:25+00:00

No. Our Smart Manure Aeration System keeps the manure in the perfect state for extracting and spreading, at all times. The complete consistency of the manure means there will be no blockages from solids and at no point would you be extracting just water. The last gallon is the same as the first gallon!

Will this reduce manure odors on my farm and fields?2024-07-16T12:54:16+00:00

Yes. It has been noted that with our Smart Manure Aeration System in place, on-farm manure smells from ammonia and hydrogen sulfide are reduced, even when spreading.

Will it work on my dense hog manure?2024-07-16T12:55:02+00:00

The Smart Manure Aeration System works on all densities of manure, making it a must for any hog farmer using a slatted floor. The fluid consistency even from dense hog manure, allows for easy extraction and so trouble-free storage.
