DariTech Sand-Manure Separation System
Last reviewed: December 2025
Integrated sand-manure separation system recovering bedding sand for reuse while preparing manure for storage or processing.
DariTech's sand-manure separation systems are designed specifically for dairy farms using sand bedding. The systems separate sand from manure slurry, allowing sand to be recovered and reused as bedding while manure is directed to storage or further processing.
The SandSaver product line includes settling lane systems, mechanical separators, and complete integrated systems handling volumes from 300 to 3,000+ cows. Sand recovery rates of 90%+ are typical, significantly reducing sand purchasing costs.
