Plastics for biogas facilities
From facility size to biomass to the planned output, constructors must make many decisions when building biogas facilities. The service life of the supply silos is a critical factor often as well. The proper construction materials are important for reliability and longevity as well. We offer plastics specifically suitable for such requirements. They will help you build high-performance and low-maintenance facilities.
Product examples
Highly wear-resistant linings
We have developed a lining system for supply silos of biogas facilities specifically for the biogas sector: Our Matrox®-linings permanently prevent corrosion and wear. The material offers high chemicals resilience, outstanding wear resilience and excellent sliding properties that promote material flow. More about the wear resistance of Matrox®
Conveyor screws
Conveyor screws of Robalon® for transport of solids such as maize, grass, bio waste in the supply reduce friction and therefore drive output with their good sliding properties, are wear-resilient even at strongly abrasive loads and have a high chemical resilience, e.g. against lactic acid in maize silage.
Agitator paddles made of Lamigamid® 300 (PA 6G)
Agitator paddles made of Lamigamid® 300 (PA 6G) have good wear and strength properties because of the tough material formulations. Despite its distinct material toughness, the material has a high flow resistance, i.e. it remains dimensionally stable even at higher loads. Furthermore, Lamigamid® 300 is resistant to the usual liquids used in biogas plants. We can produce agitator paddles in large dimensions of more than 3000mm.

Sliding sheets for the supply area
In the accessible supply area of a biogas facility - the push floor - Polystone® sliding sheets of ultra-high-molecular polyethylene (PE-UHMW) are used. The Polystone® sliding sheets take up transport chains and are characterised by outstanding sliding and abrasion properties. They are also robust, acid-resistant and wear-proof.

Arrange technical advice
The performance and reliability of materials for biogas facilities are influenced by a variety of factors. These criteria need to be considered in order to make the right choice. Examples:
- Mechanical stress
- Contact with abrasive loads
- Outer influences such as UV radiation and weather
- Constructional requirements
- Dimensions and tolerances
