The Revolutionary HBC Biocell Bedding Machine: A Game Changer for UK Farmers

The wait is over! Farmers across the UK now have access to the innovative HBC Biocell pasteurised bedding system, providing the answers to all the critical questions you’ve been asking about bedding solutions for your livestock.

Do you want a cost-effective bedding option? Yes.
Do you want bedding that isn’t abrasive or blocks drains? Yes.
Do you want bedding that doesn’t cause disease? Yes.
Do you want to reduce veterinary bills? Yes.
Do you want happy cows with a better milk yield? Yes!

If you answered "yes" to all these questions, then the HBC Biocell pasteurised bedding system is the solution you've been looking for.

New to the UK, the HBC Biocell machine provides a hygienic and comfortable bedding from slurry, addressing the major costs of slurry management and bedding acquisition. This machine eliminates both these expenses, helping farmers optimise costs while ensuring animal health and productivity.

How Does the HBC Biocell Machine Work?

The HBC Biocell turns slurry into hygienic cattle bedding through aerobic processes. Here's how it works:

• Separation: Slurry is separated into liquid and solid fractions using separators.
• Pasteurisation: The solid fraction is heated to 70°C to produce pasteurised bedding.
• Stabilisation & Hygienisation: The solid fraction is stabilised and hygienised in the HBC Biocell machine, which features a mixing system, air injection fan, vapour extraction fan, and electronic control systems to maintain optimal conditions.
• Bedding Production: The final output is bedding with a dry matter content of around 40%, which can be used directly for cattle bedding.

Key Benefits of the HBC Biocell

1. Reduced Bedding Costs
By converting solid waste into bedding, the HBC Biocell offers significant cost savings over traditional bedding methods like straw. For example, a dairy farm with 600 cows spends about £42,000 annually on straw. The HBC Biocell requires an initial investment of £150,000, with a running cost of just £10,000 per year. The savings of £32,000 annually mean a return on investment within just 4 to 5 years.

2. Veterinary Approved Bedding & Improved Milk Production
The bedding produced by the HBC Biocell is veterinary-approved, promoting healthy livestock and improved milk production.

3. Efficient Slurry Handling
The HBC Biocell is an effective slurry management solution. It separates slurry into liquid and solid fractions, with the liquid fraction usable as fertiliser. The solid fraction is converted into hygienic bedding, reducing waste.

4. Reduced Storage Needs
The system reduces the need for additional storage space. The pasteurised bedding or compost produced is ready for immediate use, and the HBC Biocell itself takes up less space than traditional bedding storage solutions.
