Doda USA

What Doda USA does

Doda USA, Inc. is a privately held manufacturer of agricultural and industrial waste management equipment headquartered in St. James, Minnesota. Founded in 2007 as the North American subsidiary of Italian parent company Doda (active in wastewater treatment since the 1950s), the company designs, builds, and distributes pumps, separators, mixers and aerators, and complementary accessories used in manure management, biogas production, and solid-liquid separation applications. Its geographic footprint covers the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

The product portfolio is organized into four categories. Pumps include the AFI high-pressure horizontal chopper pump with vanadium/manganese alloy blades (tractor-mounted or direct drive), Super ME agitating/transfer pumps (5–50+ HP, lengths from 4 to 20 feet), and Super Vertical Chopper Pumps with a dual chopping feature rated to 12,000 cuts per minute. Separators comprise the patented screw separator (stainless steel auger at 30 RPM inside wedge-wire screens) and rotary separators capable of handling up to 30,000 US gallons per hour at up to 40% dry solid consistency. Mixers and aerators cover the Daermix lagoon homogenizer (claimed to deliver up to 50% higher treated-manure production), the Digester Mixer for anaerobic digesters (BGS 80–500 models), and the Movred self-cleaning propeller mixer for biogas applications. Accessories include distribution boxes, hose reels, loadstands, and custom items. Doda holds US Patent 10,865,802 B2 for a double-sided impeller on its vertical chopper pump, designed to prevent cavitation by drawing suction from both top and bottom of the pump housing.

Doda USA generates revenue through three streams: one-time equipment sales (direct to operators and via a multi-dealer network nationwide), recurring maintenance plans aimed at extending equipment life, and spare-parts/custom accessories. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly listed. Go-to-market blends enterprise field sales — custom engineering, financing, installation, and on-site visits — with event-driven demand generation at major agricultural trade shows including the North American Manure Expo, World Dairy Expo, Farm Progress Show, Farmfest, and Dakotafest. Primary customer segments are agricultural operations (family farms through large dairy and hog operations), with secondary exposure to industrial waste processors in food, pulp and paper, and meat.

Brands

• Doda®: The parent brand from Italy, leader in wastewater treatment sector for over half a century

Products and services

• AFI Horizontal Chopper Pumps High-pressure chopper pump mountable on a tractor or connected to a direct power source, with vanadium and manganese alloy chopper blades that chop slurry prior to pumping for fuel-efficient, block-free operation. Targeted at agricultural and industrial waste handling operations.
• Super ME Pumps Agitator/transfer pumps used to agitate, transfer or fill hauling units, available in lengths from four to 20 feet with motors ranging from 5HP to 50+HP. Parts stocked at the USA facility.
• Super Vertical Chopper Pumps PTO Chopper Pumps with dual chopping feature for properly chopping waste, leading to fewer field backups. Available in standard lengths of six, eight, 10, and 12 feet; fits 540 or 1000 RPM.
• Screw Separators Stainless steel screw separator with compact design, easy installation, and simple maintenance. Uses an auger rotating at 30 RPM inside two heavy-duty wedge wire screens for separating solids from liquids and sludges.
• Rotary Separators Sludge thickener ideal for high volumes of slurry with relatively low solid content. Uses a rotary screen allowing free liquid fraction to pass through by gravitational forces and conveys solids via an Archimedes-style screw. Handles up to 30,000 US gal/hour with up to 40% dry solid consistency.
• Daermix Lagoon mixer that provides complete slurry homogenization, devitalizes pathogenic germs and weed seeds through fermentation, and lowers nitrogen loss. Yields up to 50% higher production with respect to treated manure through specially designed impellers for air suction and slurry mixing.
• Digester Mixer Mixer designed for effective mixing of anaerobic digester contents to maximize gas production and minimize scum and foam formation. Available in models from BGS 80 to BGS 500.
• Movred Propeller mixer suited for challenging applications, featuring a unique three-blade self-cleaning propeller that maintains homogeneous treated mass without dispersing characteristic gases used for biogas production.
• Distribution Boxes Custom manufactured solution for complex slurry mixing and transfer applications, equipped with patented double-sided impeller designed for suction through two intakes from the top and bottom of the pump housing.
• Hose Reels Hose reels available for drag hoses from 4 to 12 inches, custom designed with heavy-duty frame, large flotation tires, removable sections, and PTO powered for stationary reeling.
• Loadstands Stainless steel loadstand designed to stand alone away from loading pump using hose, or coupled directly to top of pump. Features adjustable height with heavy-duty hand winch and extendable running gear for uneven loading areas.
