Gravity manure removal
A gravity system takes manure from under the slatted floor through channels and pipes to the lagoon.
It is built into the building design: gradients, levels and pipe diameters are set before any concrete is poured.
In a pig complex
We tie the manure network to the layout of the whole complex, from rooms to the lagoon.
Schematic, not to scale.
How it works
A wrong gradient or level is hard and expensive to fix after concreting.
That is why channels, pipes and connection points are designed together with the room layout, floors and ventilation.
What it is made of
- Underfloor channelsManure collects under the slatted floor of each room.
- PipeworkPipes from rooms to the external network and the lagoon.
- Gradients and levelsProcess gradients that keep the flow moving by gravity.
- Link to floors and ventilationChannels are designed together with slatted floors and air exchange.
