GEA XPress™ Fiber Separation System
Reliable and efficient fiber separation system to get the most out of manure
GEA XPress™ Fiber Separation System
The configuration with an integrated regulator tank is well suited to process manure that does not require dewatering prior the roller press separation treatment.
This configuration is required with thin manure. Stands, side deck with safety rails and ladder are offered with all XPress configurations as illustrated here.
The GEA XPress is constructed with grade 304 stainless steel – the frame, roller shield, motor table, roller arms and accessories.
This system applies pressure on the rubber roller against the stainless steel screen roller to extract as much liquid as possible.
This rinsing system uses pressurized water to remove fiber buildup on each roller press and inside the hoppers between rollers.
Extracting the longest possible fiber from manure is an important consideration in providing maximum comfort to your cows. GEA XPress systems preserve fiber length more effectively because fiber is squeezed not ground during the separation process.
GEA XPress™ working principle
The XPressTM rotation pulls in a steady stream of material from the integrated regulator tank or dewatered material from a slope screen or vertical dewaterer. The fiber material is squeezed between an upper rubber roller and a lower stainless steel screen to remove moisture. The extracted liquid is diverted from the fiber material via openings in the screen roller. The process is repeated two or three times depending on the capacity or dry matter rate targeted.
XPress™ Main Features:
- The GEA XPress™ is constructed with grade 304 stainless steel – the frame, roller shield, motor table, roller arms and accessories.
- The rubber roller is made of small individual sections bolted together to provide easy rotation and replacement of the roller sections, when needed.
- Pressure is applied to the fiber with an air bag system built to handle the conditions in separation rooms. This system provides uniform material compression across the roll.
- Each steel roller and transition chute has an integrated rinsing system.
- Laser level sensor providing accurate readings of the level of solids in the chute between each roller press system.
- Control panel with optional Variable Speed Drive (VSD).
- Each set of rollers uses only 1.5 HP (1.1 Kw).
The GEA XPressTM can be configured according to the size of the herd and desired dry matter rate of the solid outcome. The step-down concept allows increased pressure at each step for optimal moisture removal. It can be configured with an integrated regulator tank or a vertical dewaterer together with a standalone liquid level regulator tank. The unit also allows an on-site configurable drive with left- or right-hand choices.
"The XPress requires minimal energy input and only basic maintenance for many years of trouble-free performance."

Electromix System - Single Piston Pump
The Electromix System includes a low power pump with hydraulically driven piston and the Electromix agitator. This system evacuates dairy manure that has been fully agitated and homogenized through underground line from tied stall or from free stall barns up to the main storage. The manure may contain bedding such as straw or sawdust of a consistency not exceeding 1½" (38 mm). The Electromix pump can be either wall mounted or floor mounted. Most of the time, the Electromix system requires a liquid return line from the main storage back to the reception pit in order to precondition the manure before transfer. It allows minimizing water addition, thus reducing the volume of storage. Have a look at the many possibilities that the Electromix System offers to definitely ease manure handling.
GEA SlopeScreen™
The GEA SlopeScreen™ is the key component to effective manure separation. Independently managing the solids and liquids gives you the flexibility to determine the most efficient way to use them.
Vertical Dewaterer
The Vertical Dewaterer is used as a dewatering treatment prior to the roller press and can also be used as a stand-alone piece of equipment to thicken material for digestion or further treatment.
