GEA XPress™ Fiber Separation System

‘‘We’re a closed herd calving all our own replacements. By adding fiber bedding from our GEA roller press system, it’s comforting, not worrying if any bacteria will come in purchased bedding material. We find the fiber is a lot healthier for the animals. We can bed anytime of the day even during the summer with fans running and curtains open, there’s no dust blowing. Since switching from sawdust, the barn stays much cleaner. Which we believe contributes to a healthier environment for the cows.’’ 

Ryan produces fiber bedding using a GEA XPress 4FT – 2FT with integrated regulator tank. This configuration treats between 20-50 US gpm (16-41 Imp gpm and 75-190 lpm) – 45 cows/hour. Click to learn more about GEA Xpress — available in multiple configurations to suit dairy facilities of every size.
