Flex-Silo – easy to assemble, cost effective & robust. Most operators of biogas plants are familiar with the problem – with conventional silos, it`s impossible to keep the joints leak-tight forever. As a consequence, the silo systems need be replaced and repaired in a constant cycle. This is expensive and time consuming. In response, Schmack Biogas has developed a wholly new silo concept, the Flex-Silo. The silo walls comprise multiple staggered structural elements. The casing around the system modules is made of HDPE to make it resistant to corrosion and UV rays. The silo blocks are filled with concrete. This gives the silo stability, rendering a foundation and connecting elements unnecessary.

SiloDrain is a drainage system that collects rainwater from covered silage areas and discharges it as clean rainwater. The separation of rainwater reduces spreading costs. The silo system collects rainwater from covered silo areas without contaminating the rainwater. SiloDrain - silo system for water separation: Our innovative drainage system collects rainwater from the covered silo areas and discharges it as clean rainwater into receiving waters or seepage systems. The system prohibits connection of the rainwater to the silage effluent in the mobile silo, thus ruling out any contamination of the rainwater.

Robust dosing station of industrial quality: The PASCO 16/20/30 supply system comprises a dosing station plus conveyor device individually matched to specific requirements. The PASCO 16/20/30 has been specially designed to supply regenerative raw materials and similar feedstocks into biogas digesters and can reliably process difficult substrates such as larger quantities of solid manure and grass.

A reliable and robust agitator is the engine of every biogas plant. It helps to ensures that the substrate is evenly mixed. Proper mixing prevents settling and floating, and stirs out the gases. The continuously operating Remex® paddle agitator  is particularly suitable for regenerative raw materials. The slow and steady agitation process is gentle on microorganisms to ensure optimal fermentation. A particular advantage is the very low power consumption. This enables continuous operation of the agitators and prevents floating layers. Maintenance work can be conveniently carried out at any time. All electrical parts as well as the drive motor and the gear unit in the agitator are located outside the digester for ease of access.

The REMEX® SF is an evolution of the successful REMEX® agitator for mixing regenerative raw materials and liquid manure. It is now possible to carry out straightforward installation or retrofitting of a large wing agitator in a steel tank – without the need for external support structures or concrete foundations. An intelligently designed, internal mounting frame transfers the entire torque from the agitator to the internal tank floor. A reinforced sealing flange frame on the tank wall prevents substrate or biogas from leaking out. Loads on the tank wall are ruled out. The height of the REMEX® SF can be continuously adjusted during installation. It can be used with varying fill levels (e.g. in the fermentation residue store). Seals and drive units requiring maintenance are mounted outside the digester for ease of access.
