Manure Sanitizer

An apparatus for processing manure and similar materials, the device comprising:

• a supporting structure;
• one or more auger layers each comprising:
• an ingress chute;
• two or more augers arranged in parallel along a plane in a directional series;
• one or more motors;
• one or more heating elements;
• one or more insulative elements;
• and
• an egress chute;
• wherein
• the ingress chute is shaped and positioned to funnel material into a first of the two or more augers within the layer;
• the chamber of the first auger is positioned to receive material through the ingress chute;
• each auger is positioned to move material through its chamber length-wise by a screwing motion;
• each auger is positioned to move material in the opposite length-wise direction of each adjacent auger in the layer;
• the material exits each non-final auger chamber being deposited into a subsequent auger's chamber;
• the material exits the final auger in the series' chamber through the egress chute;
• the one or more heating elements and one or more insulative elements are arranged to form an envelope of each auger along its surfaces that do not receive or deposit material;
• the one or more heating elements provide heat to the chambers during operation of the device;
• and
• the one or more motors are arranged to power the turning of the augers;
• wherein
• the supporting structure is arranged such that each auger layer is positioned in parallel to any other auger layers;
• and
• the one or more auger layers are arranged such that each subsequent auger layer after the first is positioned to receive material through its ingress chute from the prior auger layer's egress chute.
