Mastek to showcase ‘Twin Head’ mobile slurry separator
Mastek will be entering its ‘Twin Head’ mobile slurry separator into the Enterprise Ireland Innovation Arena at the Ploughing, in conjunction with its Italian partners Sepcom.
The Mastek/Sepcom separators can achieve a dry matter of up to 40% with the solid fraction.

Mastek will be presenting its ‘Twin Head’ mobile slurry separator mounted on a skid unit at the Ploughing. The Cavan-based firm will also be entering it into the Enterprise Ireland Innovation Arena, in conjunction with its Italian partners, Sepcom. Claiming to have been involved with slurry separators for the past 15 years, Mastek says it has recently seen a huge interest in mobile separators amongst agricultural contractors and farmers.
The twin head mobile separator system is powered by directly plugging it into the farms three phase system or else it requires a 35kVA generator. The slurry is sucked from the slatted tank using a conventional slurry hose and fed into the separator using a cavity positive displacement pump. Like the majority of slurry tankers on the continent, the system utilises such a pump which works on pressure, and can operated bi-directionally, rather than vacuum which is common in Ireland.
The slurry is fed through a hydraulically powered Mastek macerator, which chops the fibres in the slurry, with a stone trap designed to catch stones and any foreign debris. From here, the slurry continues its journey up through the elevator to the two Sepcom separators. This is where the separation takes place. The slurry is fed into the press screw. Here, the slurry is forced against a screen, which sees the liquid fraction squeezed through and escapes downwards via gravity through a discharge pipe at the bottom of the separator. The remaining solid fraction is then pushed out at the end of the separation cylinder. Different size screens can be fitted to the separators. The liquid fraction escapes downwards via gravity through a discharge pipe at the bottom of the separator. A displacement pump then sends the liquid out through lay flat hose, where it is pumped to a second storage tank.

With a claimed output of over 60m³/h, the hydraulic separator head features electric control adjustment of the hydraulic head. The separators can achieve a dry matter of up to 40% with the solid fraction. The complete unit is priced at €120,000 plus VAT.
