TWO MODELS.
ALWAYS THE PERFECT CHOICE.
We have developed two different rotor lines to meet the increasing demands of biogas plants and to ensure efficient and long-lasting substrate transport: The WANGEN PUMPS ECO- and PRO-LINE
Abrasive and chemically aggressive feed chemicals used in biogas plants place exacting demands on progressing cavity pumps. The increase in the use of long-fibre substrates, like manure, straw and agricultural waste, exposes stators and rotors to heavier loads. Frequent replacement of spare parts reduces the system's operational reliability and efficiency. It it therefore important to plan ahead in line with requirements.
Thanks to the development of two different rotor series, we can supply the perfect spare parts to meet your requirements, thus minimising failures and significantly increasing operational reliability. We therefore offer a wide selection of rotors for biogas projects, ensuring the consistent and even feeding of various substrates into biogas plants.
ECO-LINE
Cost-efficient solution, excellent value for money, and a long service life. Reliable, efficient and cost-effective – ideal for standard applications in the biogas sector.
- Made from flame-hardened, heat treatable steel
- Excellent abrasion resistance for durable operation
- Continuous performance even in challenging conditions
- Ideal for pH-neutral media
Perfect for the following biogas process stages: recirculation and digestate removal.
PRO-LINE
Maximum service life combined with minimum maintenance. The ultimate in robustness and a long service life – fulfils the most exacting requirements.
- Made from high-alloyed, flame-hardened tool steel (1.2436 H)
- Extremly abrasion-resistant and wear-proof - even with tough-to-handle media
- Developed for continuous use in pH-neutral environments
Ideal for all key biogas process stages: substrate feed and mixing, recirculation, and digestate removal.

WANGEN PUMPS rotors: The perfect choice for your biogas operation.
The rotors in progressive cavity pumps play a vital role in ensuring the smooth pumping of media. 80% of biogas applications use a progressive cavity pump from the KL-S series. The ECO- and PRO-LINE are the perfect complement to this series for the special process steps of your biogas plant.
Maximum resistance for the highest demands
The ECO and PRO-LINE rotors receive special surface treatments to significantly reduce wear and increase resistance. To achieve this, the rotors undergo a flame hardening process at over 900°C. This process significantly increases the hardness of the steel and guarantees excellent resistance with a Rockwell hardness of up to 64 HRC.
The result is long-lasting rotors that work reliably even under the most demanding conditions.
