Dry-installed chopper pumps for biogas plants

The model MPTK-I end-suction chopper pump is particularly suitable for biogas plants. This heavy-duty chopper pump is designed with an open impeller, which is the ideal design for pumping feedstocks with high dry matter content and high viscosity. The pump’s unique chopping system, or knife system, proves extremely effective in situations, where large particles and contaminants often create problems for other types of pump.

Let us find a solution together

The benefits of a chopper pump for biogas

Where the pumps stand out from other pumps is that the pumps both pump and chop in one function. This not only counteracts clogging and blockage, but it is also an advantage for the entire biogas process. Due to the reduced particle sizes, the biomass becomes easier to convert for the bacteria inside the reactor. The operating range of the pumps is up to 6 bar, which is why they can also replace most types of displacement pumps.

We have designed the pumps so that they have the longest possible service life:
• The pump has a simple and robust construction and is easy to service.
• Small foreign objects such as gravel, sand, small shards of glass, bone, etc., can pass through the pump without causing damage and with minimal wear.
• The pump can be supplied in special materials that significantly extend the service life, even when pumping liquids with abrasive particles, such as sand.
• For operation in aggressive liquids such as food waste, we can supply the pump in stainless steel.
