Stable Antiwear Food Waste Sludge Lobe Pump , Multifunctional Lobe Rotory Pump

Maintenance Friendly And Pulsation Free Operation Food Waste Pumps

In focus: Brewery & recovery of waste food in the production of biogas

A prestigious brewery, who produce fine quality real ales have installed an anaerobic digestion facility for producing biogas to be inputted into the national gas grid.Built with Accuvon lobe pumps, the anaerobic digestion facility is fed with kerbside collected food waste, food processing waste, supermarket food waste and brewery waste.
The organic matter is entered into a feed inlet at the start of the process where a rotor chopper breaks down the raw material. Accuvon lobe pumps move the chopped slurry from holding tanks and through a heat exchanger to raise the temperature prior to entering the main AD facility.
As the hot organic material enters the main AD facility it is dosed reliably and accurately by a Accuvon lobe pump with an inorganic pH buffer to accelerate and maximize the breakdown of the material.
The large mass of organic material is ‘churned’ by Accuvon lobe pumps in a plant room connected through a series of pipes to maximize the surface area and further accelerate the AD process and obtain the greatest yield of heat and biogas. The heat is recycled back into the heat exchanger.

Advantages of this Accuvon rotory lobe pumps

operating principle

• Self-priming, valveless, positive displacement pump

• Designed with two shafts with parallel axes

• The shafts move relatively to one another thanks to external timing gear

• The displacers (=rotors) roll off each other with minimum axial and radial clearance

• In every position, the rotors and casing close the suction chamber against the pressure chamber

• Gentle, low-pulsation pumping

• For viscous, solid, abrasive or shear-sensitive media

Accuvon's range of rotors –the Premium rotor

Premium profile– of biogas rotors

• Large sealing area

• Effective wiper edge

• Pressure-resistant

• Made of steel, stainless steel or plastic

axial and radial casing protection

To protect the pump casing from abrasive media and solids, we developed replaceable casing protection plates and liners several years ago.

The casing protection is replaced in a few steps, based on the MIP principle.

Easy maintenance– Maintenance in Place

• Reduced maintenance times and downtimes

• Maintenance at installation site by customer's in-house staff
