Overview

In 1998, McLanahan Agricultural Systems Division 20" Sand-Manure Separator at Green Meadow Farms, Elsie, MI Green Meadow Farms installed the first McLanahan Sand-Manure Separation System in February 1998. Since then Green Meadow Farms have installed six systems total. In the Spring of 2007, Green's installed an ULTRA system to recover find sand particles boostering overall sand recovery to nearly 98%. launched its first
Sand-Manure Separation System at Green Meadow Farm in Elsie, Michigan. Today, the same Sand-Manure Separation System at Greens' plays an integral role separating sand from manure prior to an anaerobic digester. Since our initial installation, Mclanahan Sand Solutions can be found throughout the U.S. and worldwide with Systems in Asia, Europe and South America operation on dairies as small as 125 cows and as large as 15,000 cows.

Treatment of manure to partition nutrients as well as reduce pollution potential and odor is the future of manure handling. Use of these complex systems is possible only if sand is removed from manure beforehand. Our goal is to achieve sufficient sand recovery to enable manure effluent to be processed through treatment systems such as anaerobic digesters. We won't stop there! The recovered sand must be re-usable and clean enough to support clean, comfortable and healthy cows.

One thing is certain, there is not a one-size-fits-all when it comes to
Sand Solutions. So, we offer Sand Solutions to match herd size (small
or large), desired sand recovery percentage, and facility management
routine. Our sales and engineering personnel are the best at taking all
of these factors into consideration and suggesting and designing the
best System.
