FAN Separators
FAN Separators – Screw Press Slurry Separation Systems
FAN separators are industrial screw press slurry separation systems engineered in Austria for professional manure, digestate and solid-liquid separation. The FAN PSS series is designed for farms, biogas plants and industrial operations requiring reliable performance, high dry matter output and long-term mechanical durability.
ProTesCa supplies the complete FAN PSS range across Germany and Europe with technical consultation, system sizing and installation support.
Slurry Separation Systems for Agriculture, Biogas & Industry
Efficient slurry separation reduces storage volume, lowers transport costs and improves nutrient management. In biogas plants, digestate separation improves handling, spreading flexibility and operational control.
The FAN PSS screw press technology provides mechanical solid-liquid separation without complex centrifuge systems. The result is a robust, energy-efficient solution suitable for continuous agricultural and industrial operation.
Typical use cases include:
- Dairy farm slurry separation
- Pig manure processing
- Digestate separation in biogas plants
- Organic waste and sludge processing
- Industrial wastewater pre-treatment

Austrian Engineered Screw Press Technology for Reliable Separation
FAN Separator is recognised internationally for durable and mechanically precise separation technology. Manufactured in Austria, the PSS series is built for demanding agricultural and industrial environments.
The screw press system operates by gradually compressing slurry inside a stainless steel screen basket. The liquid fraction passes through the screen slots, while solids are discharged at controlled pressure.
Key technical advantages:
- High separation efficiency
- Adjustable dry matter control
- Low energy consumption
- Long service life
- Minimal maintenance complexity
This mechanical separation approach ensures stable operation even under varying substrate conditions.
Applications in Manure, Digestate & Industrial Sludge Processing
FAN separators are suitable for a wide range of substrates:
| Agricultural Slurry | Biogas & Energy | Industrial Processing |
|---|---|---|
| Cattle / Dairy manure | Raw digestate dewatering | Slaughterhouse waste |
| Pig / Swine slurry | Fibre separation for bedding | Vegetable washing water |
| Chicken manure (diluted) | Recirculation optimization | Distillery & brewery spent grain |
By separating solids from liquids efficiently, operations gain improved handling flexibility and optimised nutrient distribution.

What is a FAN screw press separator used for?
A FAN screw press separator is used for solid-liquid separation of slurry, manure and digestate in agricultural and biogas applications. It mechanically separates solids from liquids to improve storage, transport and nutrient management.
What throughput capacity do FAN separators offer?
FAN separators are available in different sizes depending on model. Throughput typically depends on substrate composition, dry matter content and screen slot width selection.
How much dry matter can a FAN separator achieve?
Dry matter output depends on substrate and pressure settings. With correct configuration and screen basket selection, efficient slurry separation can significantly increase solid fraction dryness.
Which applications are FAN slurry separators suitable for?
FAN separators are suitable for dairy farm slurry management, pig manure separation, biogas digestate processing and industrial sludge separation.
Can I use OEM-compatible screen baskets in a FAN separator?
Yes. OEM-compatible stainless steel wedge wire screen baskets can be used in compatible FAN models if dimensional tolerances match the original specification.
Do you provide support for selecting the right FAN separator model?
Yes. We support customers with separator sizing, slot width selection and system integration for agricultural and biogas plants across Europe.
