  • Page 44: System Description

    OptiPlate is a modular system co nsisting of three main components: Drive unit (1), idler unit (2) and tunnel section (3). The OptiPlate tunnel can be mounted with one to six tiers as well as eight sections maximally. Each tier may be loaded up to a layer height of up to 20 cm and a dry substrate content of 45 %.

  • Page 45: Function

    The exhaust air is sucked out of the house via fans and then pressed in the pressure corridor. The exhaust air flows into the tunnel via the lateral openings of the OptiPlate and aerates the perforated plates. The poultry manure is dr ied with the warm and dry air of the layer house.

  • Page 46: Overview Of Components

    The tunnel section consists of the section modules (4) and the manure rake (5). The idler unit is also composed of three modules like the drive unit. It comprises the lower (6), central (7) and upper idler unit (8). Manure drying tunnel OptiPlate Edition: 05/2015 M 2279 GB...
