The FAN Bedding Recovery Unit (BRU) provides internally created bedding material recycled from the manure solids already at the farm. The bedding is produced fresh daily, needs no extra storage area and does not increase the total amount of manure solids.

- The first step in the process is the separation of large fibers from the manure. These fibers are mainly undigested parts of feed, such as corn silage or hay. This is performed by a special designed Press Screw Separator to remove only the large fibers and lower the moisture content. The solids are fed continuously with a screw conveyor into the FAN Compost Drum Dryer.

- The second step in the process takes place in the insulated FAN Compost Drum Dryer. Here the solids are treated in an intensive aerobic process for hygienization and drying. The process ensures a homogeneous product that is treated in a controlled process. The chemistry of the product is modified compared to that of fresh manure and therefore counteracts the mastitis producing microorganisms in the fresh manure. Finally the entire process is controlled by monitoring the treatment process.

- The process is fully automated. The manure is pumped from the collection pit to the Press Screw Separator. The separated solids are fed by a feeding auger for controlled dosing into the Compost Drum Dryer and are automatically discharged after the intense aerobic process. The biological process is monitored by measuring the temperature and controlled by adjusting the air volume.
