With a low energy requirement and an innovative blade design to help break-up even the most difficult of substrate materials – Fliegl’s Rondomat Vario can greatly improve the efficiency of AD and biomass plants.
The German manufacturer has just opened a new HQ and factory in Lincolnshire, and is bringing its years of experience in the European renewables market to the UK.
The Rondomat is a liquid-tight, stainless-steel feed-in system, ideal for small AD and biomass plants of up to 200kW.
Its curved internal discharge blades slowly rotate on their own axis – preventing blockages, even with substrates that have a high solid manure content, or with densely layered material such as clumps of pellets and woodchips.
With a height of just 1.80m and a diameter of 3.0m, no specialist loading equipment is needed. It can easily be filled using regular apparatus such as front loaders.
Fliegl’s commercial director for the UK, Jose Viedma, said he was very excited about the company’s plans.
“We have years of experience working in the renewable energy sector in Europe and we’re looking forward to bringing that to the UK,” he added. “The Rondomat is a low maintenance, versatile unit that has a long service life. Its low cost means that it hardly effects the construction budgets of biogas plants, drying facilities, pig feeding systems, wood pellet and woodchip mills.”
A 7.5kW electric motor is required to drive the Rondomat – just 0.2kW of power per cubic metre of conveyed material.
Suitable for every type of installation, it can feed substrate to under, side or top fermenters of drying, feeding and heating systems.
The Rondomat Vario can also be fitted with the new Fliegl digital weighing computer, DigiTouch Bio. With this automatic control, the conveyed material can be more precisely dosed in the required amounts – a big difference to the analogue weighing technology used by some.
