Bauer - Separator
Bauer Separators – Green Firm Screw Press Separation Technology
Bauer separators represent the gold standard in screw press technology, developed by the Bauer Group in Austria. Engineered for continuous operation in the toughest conditions, the Bauer S-series (S655, S855) is the global benchmark for professional manure management and industrial solid-liquid separation.
ProTesCa provides the full range of Bauer separation systems across Germany and Europe, offering professional system sizing, technical integration, and certified spare parts support.
Precision Slurry Separation for Modern Agriculture & Biogas
Efficient separation with Bauer technology significantly reduces slurry storage requirements by up to 30% and ensures optimal nutrient utilization. In biogas operations, Bauer separators are essential for digestate processing, allowing for easier spreading and improved fermenter efficiency.
The Bauer screw press principle uses a high-performance drive unit and a precision-engineered screw to press substrate against a stainless steel screen. This mechanical process is far more cost-effective and easier to maintain than centrifugal or chemical separation methods.
Key application areas:
- Cattle and dairy farm slurry processing
- Pig manure separation for volume reduction
- Biogas digestate dewatering
- Food processing waste separation
- Pulp and paper industry residues

What is a Bauer slurry separator?
A Bauer slurry separator is a screw press separator designed for manure and digestate separation in agricultural and biogas systems.
How does a Bauer screw press separator work?
It uses mechanical pressure inside a stainless steel screen basket to separate solid and liquid fractions, allowing liquids to pass through precision wedge wire slots.
What industries use Bauer separators?
Bauer separators are commonly used in dairy farming, pig manure processing, biogas plants and industrial sludge separation.
How do I choose the correct slot width for a Bauer separator?
Slot width selection depends on substrate composition and desired dry matter output. Typical options range from 0.50 mm to 1.00 mm.
Are replacement screen baskets available for Bauer separators?
Yes. Both OEM-compatible and selected original stainless steel wedge wire screen baskets are available for Bauer screw press systems.
