Chicken manure extraction is carried out using polypropylene tapes and with a frequency of 3 to 7 days, depending on the length of the shed. Until now, chicken manure was transported abroad where trucks collected it. The humidity percentage of the chicken manure ranged between 80% and 85%.
ZUCAMI has developed a treatment system that dries 85% of the chicken manure and eliminates odors, insects and gases derived from ammonia: the Seconov system.
Once extracted, the manure is transported to the upper part of the Seconov where a mechanical rake spreads it forming a thin layer. Through a tunnel that communicates with the shed and through powerful fans, the system uses the heat generated by the birds themselves to dry the layer of chicken manure. Once dry, it is dropped to the bottom of the tunnel from where it will be transferred to the warehouse. With this system, the poultry farmer can preserve the chicken manure until it is marketed.
