The centre of each process step
Whether pre-pit, fermenter, post-digester or GPL: efficient agitators form the centre of every process step within the biogas plant. They are responsible for the circulation of the biomass and thus for the exact and complete fulfilment of the mixing task and the resulting maximum gas production.
Agitators specially adapted to the tank size and the substrate used ensure homogeneous mixing of the substrate and prevent sinking and floating layers. Optimum reaction conditions ensure that all available microorganisms have access to the starting materials, as only then can they optimally convert the substances. Optimum mixing also guarantees uniform temperature distribution throughout the tank and therefore unhindered gas release from the substrate.

We offer the right agitator for every task in order to solve the agitator task safely, energy-efficiently and in line with requirements!
When selecting agitator technology, there are various criteria that every plant operator must weigh up for themselves.
We offer a wide variety of agitators for the different mixing tasks and customer requirements resulting from the catalogue of questions.

The Varibull paddle agitator type RT-PRW is an ideal and highly reliable agitator for fermenters, secondary fermenters and fermentation residue storage, which has been tried and tested thousands of times. The low-maintenance drive unit is mounted on the outside of the pit and is therefore accessible at all times. A maintenance-free mechanical seal ensures a permanent seal on the wall feed-through from the drive shaft. The agitator shaft is fitted with a maintenance-free and durable plain bearing inside the pit.
The RT-PRW is used exclusively for stirring viscous fermentation substrates such as slurry, manure and renewable raw materials (NaWaRo) or similar, in round reinforced concrete tanks (fermenters). The four inclined paddles ensure optimum mixing over a large vertical area in the shortest possible time. This mixes the renewable raw materials and the slurry or manure in the fermenter in an ideal and energy-saving way. The RT-PRW is suitable for operation in a substrate with a dry matter content of up to 12%, a pH value of 6-8 and a temperature of up to +55°C. The drive of the RT-PRW is suitable for an ambient temperature of up to +40°C.
The original agitator developed by us is now the most widely used agitator among the slow-running long-axis agitators in biogas plants.
It was designed and built with the highest safety requirements in mind and after careful selection of the harmonised standards to be complied with, as well as other technical specifications. It therefore corresponds to the current state of the art and guarantees maximum safety.
The RT-PRW has been designed in accordance with the provisions of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
The RT-PRW is also optionally available in an Ex version.
