BioCrack enhances the exposure of the nutrients in biosuspensions to the fermenting bacteria. During the electrokinetic disintegration process, a high-voltage field is generated in the module. It breaks up agglomerations (aggregates/colloides) of dead organic matter and bacteria. The availability of nutrients for the fermenting bacteria is considerably increased. The result: increased gas yield and better utilization of the substrates.Maximum installation flexibility – that only BioCrack offersBioCrack | AdvantagesMore power from your biogas plantThis will impress you: www.biogas-profit-calculator.comUp to 18 % more biogasBioCrack systems are reliable, effective and durable. It pays off to upgrade: The BioCrack electrokinetic disintegration process can help you generate up to 18 percent more biogas. Minimum energy costs BioCrack has an extremely low power requirement. Only 35 W required per module.Low investment costsA worthwhile comparison: BioCrack stands out from other disintegration processes due to its considerably lower investment costs.Up to 30 % lower energy consumptionBioCrack reduces floating and sinking layers, as well as viscosity in the digester. This decreases the agitation and pumping power required.Suitable for all biogas plants – simple and flexible to retrofitWhether a wet or dry feed, renewable raw materialor co-fermentation plant, BioCrack is easy to integrate and requires minimum space. Installation of the modules is flexible; they can be installed at any angle.Highly active fermentation substrateWith BioCrack, biology is more stable, the process is more reliable and the system is easier to use. The biomass is also decomposed faster. The digester volume is better used and the biogas yield is increased. No routine maintenance – no moving parts: always ready to goThe reason why: BioCrack has no moving parts, which saves you significant money and reduces your stressBioCrack® offers you clear advantagesWe know what counts, because we have been active in the biogas industry from the start. That‘s why Vogelsang solutions produce efficient and economic results you can rely on.4You want to know more about BioCrack? Learn more at www.biocrack.infoA powerful teamThe combination of BioCrack and RotaCut® makes for an even more successful system. The substrate is initially conditioned in the RotaCut, which increases the material surface. This protects the internal electrodes of the BioCrack while increasing its effectiveness. Together with a Vogelsang rotary lobe pump, you have the perfect team that is unbeatable.BioCrackPower requirement for each module 35 W Maximum flow rate 40 m3/h 180 gpmMaximum pressure 5 bar 73 psiMaximum module length 2.053 mm 80.83 inch Minimum module width (U module) 325.5 mm 12.81 inchMaximum module width (S module) 492 mm 19.37 inchElectrical supply voltage 220 V, 50 Hz 110 V, 60 HzMaterial Stainless steel tube; inside DN 150, PE coated internal electrodes5BioCrack | Biogas product overviewEverything from a single source: Biogas technology from Vogelsang Visit us online for more information about our broad range of products for biogas plants: www.vogelsang.infoQuickMix II A solid matter feeder –optimizes digester feeding with mashedsubstrate. A twin-shaft auger and rotarylobe pump in one. Break up coarse cosubstrates and mixes them with a liquid phase to make a homogenousbiosuspension.BioCrack® The electrokinetic disintegration process that lowers operating costs and increases efficiency by means of higher gas yields and reduced biomass consumption.BioCut The original Vogelsang rotary lobe pump combined with an upstream RotaCut wet macerator is specially designed for the biogas sector. Optimizes liquid introduction with economical pumps and perfect maceration. Fibrous matter is discharged into the RotaCut where it is reliably macerated.Vogelsang rotary lobe pumps Thanks to their excellent properties – compact design, self-priming, easy to service and maintain – Vogelsang pumps are the economical solution for many different pumping tasks.X-Ripper Allows the efficient fermentation of fruit, vegetables and a variety of organic waste. The powerful twin-shaft shredder economically prepares large and coarse solids in liquid or dry media.RotaCut® A wet macerator and heavymaterial separator in one. Reliablyseparates foreign objects such as stonesand metal parts; macerates fibers andcoarse materials in defined liquid media,thus ensuring more homogeneous andflowable suspensions.ENGINEERED TO WORKvoge lsang . in foHugo Vogelsang Maschinenbau GmbH Holthöge 10–14 | 49632 Essen/Oldb., Germany Phone: +49 5434 83-0 | Fax: +49 5434 83-10 info@vogelsang-gmbh.comOur company Innovation and progress have been hallmarks of Vogelsang for over 80 years and have made us a leading global plant engineering company.
