WANGEN pumps are perfect for biogas industry, because of their combination of sophistication and longevity. They convey various types of biomass material, such as liquid manure from livestock farming, vegetable scraps and food waste as well as renewable raw materials, e.g. corn and gras silage, whole-crop-silage and dung, in each case mixed up with liquid manure or recirculates. We are the experts in conveying media in the sector of anaerobic digestion.

Pumps for conveying substrate

Pumps in biogas plants have to convey viscous substrate between the fermenters. We offer application-optimized types of pump according to the substrate to be conveyed and the biogas plant in question. Our years-long experience enables us to develop practice-related solution concepts.

WANGEN pumps have robust designs because substrates are often highly viscous and have to be pumped over long distances. Supplemented with dry running protection, pressure gauges or flow meters: they display excellent performance even in automatic continuous duty.

Type KL-R

The WANGEN progressing cavity pump of type KL-R and the specially designed hopper housing and modular sealing system enable the gentle conveyance of mediums without influencing the structure or quality of such. The low dead space version of the KL-RL series is ideal for use also as a pump in the food industry and particularly easy to clean.

Type X-UNIT

Optimal substrate preparation and low wear increase the efficiency of your system.


The modular system for reliable protection of plant equipment:
X-TRACT (debris removal) + X-CUT (substrate cutting). Both components are available separately and are optimally co-ordinated with each other as an X-UNIT.

Low energy consumption coupled with maximum substrate yield. Foreign matter is removed from the medium without additional energy consumption.

Increased process safety through removal of system-harmful foreign bodies and debris with the aid of the foreign body separator X-TRACT and the cutting unit X-CUT. Optimum adaptation of the cutting unit to the medium easily possible. Extremely high speed cutting (up to 3.000 rpm).

Maximum serviceability due to easy access to the cutting and sealing unit.

Typ-A
Type A

The WANGEN progressing cavity pump Type A has swivel pushers inside the suction chamber that switch the pump from suction to pump mode. The pump is not sensitive to foreign objects and the deposition of foreign objects in the suction housing is not possible. In addition, hollow rotors ensure quiet operation.

Type BIO-FEED

With a specially-developed milling screw, you can mix the solids that are to be added with the separately added liquid and convey it into the desired containers.

With our innovative X-LIFT quick-change system, the wearing parts are easy to replace. Only a few simple steps are needed, without this requiring disassembly of the pump from the piping system. Thereby, WANGEN BIO-FEED is also suitable for use in restricted spaces.

Due to the pushing of the screw connection, the WANGEN BIO-FEED turns into a high-performance suction pump. You can use it as a central pump in your biogas plant.

To simplfy integration into your conveyor, our WANGEN BIO-FEED's pump body is equipped with two DN150 connections bearing bracket side, one DN400 connection for the screw conveyor and two DN200 at stator side. In addition, you can use these as cleaning openings and for rinsing the mixing chamber.

Type GL-F

The integrated winding protection mechanism of the PTO shaft pump WANGEN GL-F prevents fibers from winding around the joint and joint connections. The large inspection and cleaning openings on the suction housing allow an easy pump access.

The pump drive is provided by a power take-off or a drive shaft with a feather key. A robust pump solution for agricutural enineering.

  • Complete drive train can be dismantled on the drive shaft side.
  • Generous service openings for dismantling the drive train.
  • Easier lubrication of the PTO shaft thanks to the standard maintenance flap on the PTO shaft guard.
  • Less heat development in the bearing bracket due to thermal optimisation (oil lubrication).
  • Available with stone trap (optional)

GL-S
Type GL-S

The WANGEN progressing cavity pump of type GL-S is particularly well suited to umbilical hose systems. Large distances and height differences are mastered easily. It may be used as a stationary pump or mobile pump, attached to a slurry tanker or chassis. The comprehensive range of pumps available make them a product for universal use.

They carry watery or thick media, as well as media loaded with solids just as well.

Type BIO-ROXX

Optimum preparation of the substrate

 

The WANGEN BIO-ROXX mixes the solids and liquid together to improve the efficiency of every Biogas and Anaerobic Digestion plant.

Thanks to the large built-in stone trap contaminants like stones, or others, are separated from the substrate and can be removed very easily through the large accessible opening.

In combination with other WANGEN products like the WANGEN X-UNIT and the WANGEN X-CUT the profitability of the plant increases by reducing the energy consumption of the agitators in the fermenters.

Pumps for loading the separators

WANGEN pumps perform special tasks in biogas plants such as loading the separators for separating solid and liquid phases.

Conveying the substrates with their mostly high dry substance contents (DS) requires sophisticated pump technology. Optimum pumping results are guaranteed by the flow-optimized suction housing and a constant joint diameter which prevents the plaiting of long fibers.

WANGEN Xpress
Type WANGEN Xpress

The changing of wear parts with very few actions, without removing the pump from the pipeline system thanks to Service in Place.

The WANGEN Xpress pump range has been specially developed for easy maintenance and to considerably shorten the servicing time and thus reduce costs. Reliable pumping of media, along with fast rotor/stator changes are ensured by the patented X-LIFT quick change system developed by WANGEN PUMPEN. The X-LIFT flange is constructed on standard flange design principles.

Available in the sizes 48, 64, 78 and 94.

Pumps for feeding in solid material

With WANGEN BIO-MIX pumps for example, solid materials are conveyed into the pump via the jaw hopper and mixed there with liquid from fermenters, after-fermenters or liquid manure tanks. Only then is the mix transferred to the fermenter.

The advantages of feeding in liquid with WANGEN BIO-MIX pumps:

  • Good mixing in of the solid materials (less stirring required in the fermenter)
  • Troublefree conveyance over large distances and great differences in height (e.g. when extending biogas plants)
  • Several fermenters can be loaded with one feeding system
  • Optimum mixing in of even difficult solid materials, e.g. grass silage and solid manure.

WANGEN BIO-MIX pumps prove that we combine experience with a readiness to create application-specific production innovations. Our aim is the troublefree operation of biogas plants. The best and reliable solution for solids conveying. An true WANGEN PUMPEN original, designed for a very long lifespan.
