Feeding technology refers to systems for the automatic dosing and conveyance of solid substrates, such as maize silage, grass silage or manure, into the digester of a biogas plant. It ensures a consistent supply of substrate and a stable fermentation process.

Modern feeding technology for biogas plants processes a variety of substrates, such as maize silage, grass silage, solid manure and energy crops. Even materials high in fibre or with a coarse texture can be fedreliably .

Continuous dosing stabilises the biological process in the digester and prevents fluctuations in performance. This enables the biogas plant to achievea consistently high level of gas production .

An efficient feed-in technique reduces energy consumption, maintenance requirements and wear and tear on the plant. At the same time ,precise dosing increases biogas yield and thus the cost-effectiveness of the biogas plant.

Modular feed-in technology can be flexibly adapted to existing biogas plants . This makes it particularly easy to carry outexpansions or retrofits .

Yes, modern feed-in technology can be easily integrated into existing biogas plants . Modular systems ,in particular ,allow for straightforward retrofitting without the need formajor alterations.

New feed systems utilise optimised conveying technology and have low energy requirements. This reduces both electricity consumption and the operating costs of the biogas plant.

A uniform and controlled feed prevents the fermenter from becoming overloaded . This ensures that the biological process remains stable and gas production remains constant.

Many feeding systems feature built-in foreign material separation or robust conveyor systems. This ensures that stones, metal parts or other foreign materials are reliably removedfrom the process .

The size of the feed system depends on the capacity of the biogas plant and the daily quantity of substrate used . Correct sizing ensures efficient and trouble-free feeding.

Biogas plants operate using abrasive and fibre-rich substrates, which place high demands on the technology . Robust feed systems ensure long-term operation and low maintenance costs.

Automatic dosing and conveying systems enable the fermenter to be fed on a timed basis or as and when required . This makes the operation of the biogas plant more efficient and less reliant on staff.

Thanks to their robust construction and durable materials such as stainless steel , combined with modern installation techniques , maintenance and upkeep costs are kept to a minimum . At the same time ,the short running times of the drives reduce wear and tear and thus lower operating costs in the long term .

The feed system for biogas plants is designed to require minimal maintenance and features robust screw conveyors, load monitoring of the drives and automatic reverse operation in the event of an overload. This ensures trouble-free operation with minimal maintenance requirements .

The Easyfeeder feeding system has a modular design and can be combined with various feed hoppers, such as funnels or slide chutes . This allows the solid feed rate to be flexibly adaptedto the substrate, plant capacity and feed hopper volume of the biogas plant .
