The Limator is a crushing machine for Biogas Plants. It is installed at plants where long fibered Material => field wastes like (straw, maize straw, manure) are used.

This material is crushed in the Limator and now the single fibres are cracked / opened. This process increases the surface of the fibres thousandfold. The bacteria will now decompose the material faster.

The big benefits start in the digester:

  • Better and constant viscosity
  • Less running me and costs of the mixers
  • Less wear parts use at the mixers
  • Quicker gas production
  • Less to zero troubles with swimming layers or swimming lumps
  • Less use of a separator afterwards

Dosing and feeding

The BIOFEEDER dosing container performs the conveying and dosing of long-fiber materials with its interchangeable pusher base and the load-controlled dissolving and mixing screw conveyor wall. Automatic returns in case of foreign bodies or blockades ensure trouble-free and even material transport.

Defibering and processing of organic matter

The organic material passes from the dosing container to the defibering unit. Defibering increases the target surface for the bacteria and also facilitates stirring. This means that materials which are difficult to degrade can also be used for methane production.

The conveyor technology

The feeding of the fermenter is carried out via screw conveyors or stuffing screws in the case of solids input or via the respective pump technology in the case of liquid feeding. The mixing pump unit mixes the freshly prepared material with the liquid material from the fermenter and ensures an ideal viscosity for methane production.
