SAND
SOLUTIONS
A Better Environment –
Clean Sand, Comfortable Cows
& Maximum Sand Recovery
AGRICULTURAL SYSTEMS
McLanahan sand solutions can help maximize
your production, promote herd health and
protect the environment.
McLanahan Sand-Manure Separators utilize proven sand-processing technology. Efficient,
reliable, and easy to manage, our systems recover sand that is suitable for re-use within
days and with only minimal amounts of fine sand remaining in the separated manure effluent.
With the help of our sales and engineering staff, McLanahan system designs can easily be
incorporated into your existing facilities to meet your current manure processing needs.
They can also be designed to accommodate future expansion or new construction, as well
as any downstream manure processing system such as liquid-solid separation or anaerobic
digestion.

GO FROM THIS
TO THIS!
Reclaim 80%-90%+
of your bedding costs
Complete system design incorporating McLanahan’s
legendary mining-grade, heavy-duty equipment means
minimal maintenance and maximum ROI.
Reduce sand inventory
• Produce sand that is consistently re-usable, which reduces the need for new sand
• Produce sand-free manure that can be irrigated, injected, pumped, dewatered or digested
• Reduce equipment wear and tear
by using concrete sand (ASTM C33)
with any of McLanahan’s standard
Sand-Manure Separation Systems.
Use recycled water
Diluted water can be supplied from a
final-stage storage or a closed loop
liquid-solid separation system. Sand
manure separator capacity varies
depending on the system and recycled
water quality.
• Lower hauling costs

Liquid-Solid Separator
ULTRA System
The McLanahan Rotary Liquid-Solid Separator is built to separate solids and
improve water quality. Our Rotary Separator not only provides recycled water
for your sand separation systems (closed loop undiluted or diluted), it can be
used to concentrate manure streams prior to entering an anaerobic digestion
system or any advanced nutrient removal system.
McLanahan’s ULTRA System helps keep your manure stream clean whether
or not you bed with sand. The ULTRA System can be used for pre-treatment
to separate fine sand prior to anaerobic digestion or nutrient removal. ULTRA
Systems are sized to process the flow requirements of your specific system.
• Customized performance with interchangeable screens
• Totally enclosed for a safe and clean operation
• Stainless steel or powder coated mild steel
• Sealed bearings and wheels
• Modular screen selection
• Efficient drive system
• Removable drum

We Are Pioneers In Sand Solution Technology
In 1998, McLanahan’s Agricultural Systems Division installed its first Sand-Manure
Separation System in Elsie, Michigan. That system still plays an integral role in separating
sand from manure prior to the farm’s anaerobic digestion system. Today, our systems are
in use across the United States, and in Asia, Europe and South America.
