SLM Sand Recovery System Testimonials
Using Daritech’s One Shot Sand Separation System we recover 90% of our sand bedding saving the farm $100,000 in sand bedding costs per year!
With maintenance costs under $2,000 annually along with the storage and time savings, this really is the one piece of equipment you need to lift, rinse, and stack quality reusable bedding sand. Emerald Spring Dairy Plainview MN |

We originally had sand and went away from it, however, we found that our SCC was too high so we converted back to sand to reduce our SCC. Dairylane Systems has had good success working with Daritech products. A lot of the other competitor options seemed to involve more work in the winter and required more infrastructure for us to make that system work. The day to day operation is fairly easy, we spend about 45 minutes per day keeping the sand lane and surrounding area clean. The Sand Cannon does a great job separating the sand out of the manure and it’s clean coming out of the cannon. We are very happy with the Sand Cannon and the product it produces.

We used to have a competitors sand separator, however, it was not producing clean sand. We wanted a separator that would provide us with clean sand. The One Shot is just that, it has perfect sand and is the best sand separator on the market! The One Shot runs more efficiently and has less wear and tear so we expect it will last us forever. We are very satisfied with the quality of the sand and have another auger on order to better complete our system. The One Shot is easy to operate day to day and uses less energy than the old system. If you have a flush/sand system this is the way to go.

We first looked at Biolynk because we wanted cleaner flush water. The barn is very close to the house so we wanted to minimize the smell. We’ve noticed that we now have total control over all aspects of our manure system, and with such a high capture rate of solids, the lagoon will be much easier to empty. We also like the idea that we can very easily add a digester to our system.
We went to sand bedding for our new barn because we wanted cow comfort, better traction, and mastitis control. Because we wanted to keep the sand out of our new lagoon, and also wanted clean sand that we could reuse, we knew we needed to do a good job separating our sand. We chose mechanical sand separation due to the extra management required with a sand lane, along with wear and tear on loader bucket and tires.
We chose Pacific Dairy Center and Daritech’s One Shot over other sand separators due to their good products and support. Our confidence in Pacific Dairy and Daritech has paid off, as the sand is even cleaner than was expected and the overall system has been very easy to manage.

We installed Daritech’s One Shot sand separator to provide a steady source of clean sand and cut our costs of sand bedding management. The simplicity of the system and cleanliness of the sand has been everything we’d hoped for and more. The sand is so clean and dry and the cows are noticeably cleaner. It’s like using new sand, and that’s a fact! We’ve long known Daritech to always be looking for new ways to help the dairy run more efficiently, and they’ve hit a home run with this sand separator. We’re happy as can be with it.

We chose the Daritech Sand Cannon because of the quality sand it puts out. The closed loop system has allowed us to separate 95% of our sand while also removing the fiber from the manure. We went from buying 180 yards of sand per week to only 20 yards per week. The Daritech PLC control has made the system easy to fine tune and run throughout the whole day by itself. After running for four months the somatic cell count has maintained under 100,000, it has even dropped a couple of points. Having the fiber out of the lagoons has made our manure hauling much more efficient. Daritech has been a great company to work with and stands behind their product.
