Optimized Substrate Processing in Biogas Plants Ensures Higher Efficiency
10.08.2021
The new, optimised WANGEN X-UNIT perfectly prepares substrate in biogas plants, increasing the efficiency of all systems. The modular system, consisting of the X-TRACT and X-CUT, is designed for extremely high speeds and pressures of up to 6 bar.
Substrate before – coarse medium interspersed with contaminants and substrate after – finely chopped, porridge-like medium without contaminants (Image source: Pumpenfabrik Wangen GmbH)
The high-performance cutting unit (X-CUT) with its rotating cutting blade and the large settling tank (X-TRACT) frees the medium from all contaminants and macerates it into a finely chopped, porridge-like medium – optimum treatment for the fermentation process in the fermenters. THE WANGEN X-UNIT also provides excellent ease of servicing, low wear costs and low energy consumption.
Benefits at a glance:
- Low energy consumption coupled with maximum substrate yield
- Durable, heavy-duty seal with in-house developed cooling and lubricating function for extremely high speeds and pressures (up to 6 bar medium pressure)
- High-performance cutting unit with rotating cutting blade. Speeds of up to 3,000 rpm provide for excellent substrate digestion rates
- Large settling tank with a large opening for the removal of foreign matter
- Foreign matter is removed from the medium without additional energy consumption
- The ultimate ease of servicing, thanks to rapid replacement of the cutting blade and sealing unit
- Galvanised components for perfect, proven WANGEN-quality corrosion protection throughout
