With HFS – Hybrid Flow System, one of the most physically demanding routines in pig production — slurry discharge — is fully automated. The system eliminates heavy manual lifting, ensures complete documentation, and reduces both odor emissions and environmental impact.
Why choose automatic slurry discharge?
Work environment and ergonomics
Traditionally, emptying slurry channels requires heavy and repetitive lifting of plugs that can feel like 40–50 kilograms. With HFS, this risk is eliminated, protecting employees from long-term strain and injuries.
Efficient operation – every day, all year round
The system discharges slurry regularly and through one plug at a time. This ensures better flow, faster emptying, and improves both the barn’s indoor climate and the quality of the slurry for use in biogas plants.
Climate and environment
Studies show that daily automatic discharge can reduce methane emissions from the slurry by up to 90%. At the same time, odor nuisances are significantly reduced, and the system supports the use of more straw in barns – benefiting animal welfare.
An investment in people, animals, and the climate
HFS is designed for modern pig production, where demands for work environment, efficiency, and sustainability are constantly increasing. With HFS, you get a solution that combines technology, ergonomics, and environmental responsibility – contributing to a greener and more competitive agricultural operation.
How HFS works
- Automated control: The plugs open and close at fixed, programmed intervals.
- Integration: HFS connects directly to the existing winch system.
- Automatic logging: Each discharge is fully documented, meeting the legal requirements for record keeping.
Benefits for the farmer
- Reduced physical strain and fewer heavy lifts
- Time savings in daily operations
- Improved indoor climate for both staff and animals
- More valuable slurry for biogas production
- Compliance with current legislation and future-proofed production
