Huber RoDisc Rotary Screen with PolyMix
The Huber RoDisc Rotary Screen with integrated PolyMix delivers energy-efficient coarse solids separation combined with on-board polymer conditioning for improved throughput in farm and small-plant applications. It offers a lower capital and maintenance profile than a decanter while reducing polymer demand upstream of fine separators, though it does not reach the dryness levels of a decanter centrifuge for very high-solids streams.

Review Summary
"The Huber RoDisc Rotary Screen with PolyMix is frequently rated highly for reliable screening, low maintenance, and effective polymer mixing that improves solids capture; the main criticisms are higher upfront cost and the need to fine-tune polymer dosing for best results. Long-term users value its consistent performance and service support."

Daritech EYS Separator with Polymer Injection
The Daritech EYS Separator with Polymer Injection targets medium-scale manure conditioning by combining tailored polymer dosing with a gentle separator to maximize fiber recovery and produce a drier cake than screens alone. It competes favorably on lifecycle energy and solids-quality metrics compared with hydrocyclone-focused systems, offering a middle-ground investment for operators who need better dewatering than a screen but lower capex than a full centrifuge.

McLanahan Sand-Manure Separator with Hydrocyclone
The McLanahan Sand-Manure Separator leverages hydrocyclone technology to remove heavy sand and grit from manure streams, protecting downstream pumps and reducing wear while requiring minimal polymer conditioning. It is the cost-effective niche choice for farms struggling with abrasive solids—complementary to polymer-based flocculation systems—though it does not substitute for fine dewatering provided by decanters or conditioned rotary screens.
