TECHNOLOGY AREAS OF APPLICATION
TECHNOLOGY AREAS OF APPLICATION
We exploit the potential of organic waste in our biogas technology division. We successfully plan, implement and manage waste management biogas projects both nationally and internationally. All our products are put through their paces in our own [Test]plant at our site in Bernau am Chiemsee. Our machines are designed for a long service life, making them suitable for a wide range of applications. In the case of Finsterwalder pump technology, for example, the areas of application go beyond biogas technology.

OUR PRODUCTS CAN BE USED IN A VARIETY OF WAYS
OUR PRODUCTS CAN BE USED IN A VARIETY OF WAYS
Our components are designed for processing biological waste and food waste, as well as agricultural residues with their different requirements. The residual materials listed here are examples and are not exhaustive.
Municipal waste
and residual materials e.g.
- Organic waste, brown garbage can
- Green cuttings and garden waste
- Household waste
- Sewage sludge...
Industrial waste
and residues from food and animal feed production e.g.
- Milk processing
- Beverage production
- Pharmaceutical industry
- Fruit residues and pulp...
Gastronomy
Food waste from commercial kitchens such as canteens, hospitals,...
Wholesale markets
- Fruit and vegetable scraps (including citrus fruit)
- Discarded or unsold goods
- Food with an expired use-by date
- Complete wheel rims (transport damage, interrupted cold chain, etc.)
Waste from animal husbandry
- Cattle, pig and poultry manure,
- Solid manure
Vegetable waste
- Unsaleable or spoiled fruit or fruit parts
- Feed residues, mashed grain
- Catch crops

Reliable technology for all process areas
Reliable technology for all process areas
From separating fermentable and non-fermentable waste components to automatic process control of the biology in the Digester, we offer the right solutions for all areas of the biogas production process. The modernization of existing plants is one of our strengths.
Pre-cleaning
Pasteurization
Self-cleaning Digester
Automated process control
Problem definition
Removal of contaminants from digesters
Solution
Continuous discharge of sinking and floating contaminants as well as floating sludge discharge during operation
Finsterwalder machines
Floor scraper
Skimmer (side or top mounting)
Problem definition
Local fermentation of food waste from large-scale gastronomy.
Solution
Container concept with integrated FINSTERWALDER technology
Finsterwalder machines
- An intake hopper that can be opened and closed hydraulically
- Inline shredder for the fiber components (straw)
- KP10 Feed pump
- Separation for stones etc.
Problem definition
Transfer and circulation of the fermentation product from the Digester to the composting process.
Solution
Two Finsterwalder KS23 gate valve pumps are filled alternately via a Y-piece, both pumps are operated simultaneously, continuous transfer of the fermentation product to the composting system.
