Moving Floor Feeder
Moving Floor Feeder
Efficient Bulk Solid Handling for Biogas Plants
Why It Matters
When feeding large volumes of solid biomass into a digester, having the right bulk feed system makes all the difference. A moving (sliding) floor feeder enables high-capacity storage, controlled discharge, and seamless transfer into screw conveyors or pumps — helping maintain steady substrate flow, optimise digester loading, and drive higher biogas yields.
Ideal Applications
- Biogas plants with large-scale solid substrate input (crop residues, manure solids, organic wastes)
- Facilities needing buffering and storage before feeding into digesters
- Installations upgrading from small-scale feeders to high-volume bulk systems
- Projects that require controlled solid discharge into screw conveyors or pumps while keeping the feed line reliable
Technical Snapshot
- Storage volume: 40 m³ to 200 m³ (custom sizes available)
- Material: stainless steel build for durability under heavy-duty use
- Operation: sliding floor mechanism (push-rod driven) for consistent feed into downstream systems
- Optional features: weigh scale integration, driver-operated system, central lubrication, and custom sizing to match substrate and plant scale
Key Features & Highlights
- Designed for large storage volumes, the sliding-floor system uses every cubic metre of space efficiently while delivering solids into the downstream feed line.
- The push-floor mechanism enables faster, reliable transfer of biomass into the screw conveyor or pump, improving throughput and reducing bottlenecks.
- Stainless-steel construction ensures durability and long service life under demanding conditions.
- Energy efficient — the sliding-floor design consumes less power and contributes to a lower ecological footprint for the overall feed system.
- Volume options from 40 to 200 m³, with custom sizes available. On request, the unit can be driver-operated for added flexibility.
- Additional features such as an integrated weighing system allow real-time mass tracking of discharged solids — providing operational control and transparency.
