The Hotsy 558 HSS is a market leader thanks to robust industrial construction, high-temperature capability, and proven long-term reliability in demanding environments — traits that give it an edge over smaller European models when uptime and heavy-duty duty-cycle performance matter. While typically carrying a higher initial capital cost than more compact machines, its durability and easier field serviceability drive lower total cost of ownership for fleets and rental operators. For users needing maximum throughput and hardened components, it represents a technically dominant, financially sensible choice.

Westeel Ag-Separator 500 Mobile Unit
The Westeel Ag-Separator 500 Mobile Unit is a rugged, steel-bodied settling tank with an integrated oil separation stage designed for trailer-mounted barn wash applications; its high-capacity, farm-ready construction gives it an advantage on durability and onsite holding volume compared with smaller portable units. Financially it targets operators who value lower lifecycle replacement costs and higher throughput versus lightweight polyethylene interceptors, while technically it trades some of the polishing finesse of biofilters for robust mechanical settling and simple maintenance.
