Covering nearly all applications...Greencrop
Greencrop are the UK distributors for the unique Sepcom Horizontal and Vertical Rotary Separators for use in
separation of all types of slurry, abattoir waste and digestate on Anaerobic Digestion (AD) Biogas Plants.
he vertical units
work very well in
food waste and
slurry that has little
fibre. We have
installed a large
number of Sepcom Separators in
the UK.
The basic machines are used to
separate animal slurry, but special
units can be used in industrial
waste applications.

“We can offer six machines in
different build specifications”
The Bio Sepcom Separator is
used to separate digested
material, however, it can also be
used to prepare the material
before the digester as is
commonly done throughout
Europe.
The horizontal machines have
several advantages, including a
unique header tank to control the
pressure of the digestate into the
screw inlet, giving a constant force
feed into the screen and screw.
Another advantage is the
diaphragm outlet; this simple
device allows a backpressure to
the separated material to increase
separa tion.
The vertical unit construction
means that the machine retains its
‘plug’, ensuring consistent quality
of separation. The new quick
release guards help its low
maintenance requirement which is
critical and what makes it different
to previous models. This separator
is designed for difficult waste
(including human waste), and has
two vertical polymer screws,
allowing them to run at a tighter
tolerance than a steel screw
against the screens. The
intermesh of the screws acts as
self-cleaning, reducing
maintenance and downtime
further.
The polymer will withstand
temperatures up to 100ºc and it
can achieve similar dry matter
content to conventional horizontal
models. The power requirement is
also low at only 4kW. Three sizes
of screens are available to suit
different digestant material and the
separation chamber can be
extended if needed.
We can offer six machines in

different build specifications that
will cover nearly all applications,
including the Visscher Sepcom
which produces green bedding
from cow slurry. With its special
automatic head and unique
separation system, it removes
more moisture without having to
use large electric motors.
Greencrop also supply a full
range of mixer pumps and
shredder pumps which are used to
handle liquid based materials. The
pumps are of a very high quality,
require low maintenance and can
be used to feed slurry or digestate
to the Sepcom Separator.
