The individually adaptable DisRuptor for mechanical disintegration of solid matter

Optimal substrate disintegration is key for determining biogas yield. This is why Vogelsang also offers a mechanical alternative or disintegrating substrates: the new, flexibly designed DisRuptor. The reduction of the particle size and the simultaneous defibering increases the surface area of the solid matter used. This helps bacteria reach the nutrients better, accelerates conversion and increases the gas yield.

The principle
The DisRuptor functional unit consists of a rotor with six blades as well as an outer DisRuptor ring. At high rotor speeds, the solid matter in the suspension is milled and frayed in the narrow gap between the rotor unit and the external ring. The gap can be individually adjusted to the specific application and the substrate. Thanks to these unique features, the DisRuptor offers particularly flexible and efficient mechanical treatment.

The DisRuptor DR7000 offers energy-efficient mechanical disintegration thanks to its variable function unit. Handling the DisRuptor adjustment mechanism is simple. The DisRuptor head is easy to swivel upwards with hydraulic support – offering direct access to the function unit. The gap between the blades and the external ring can be adapted individually to every substrate with just a few steps and without special tools. Moreover, wear on the ring and wings can be compensated for by realignment – extending their service lives.

Features of the DisRuptor

The variable function unit is the DisRuptor’s outstanding feature. It allows the DisRuptor to be adjusted individually for the biomass and the application. The gap between the DisRuptor ring and the wing is infinitely adjustable. In this way, wear can be compensated quickly and simply, without having to replace parts.

The sophisticated design of the function unit makes intensive disintegration possible at a high throughput and low drive power. With just 15 kW of installed capacity, up to 200 m3/h of organic suspension can be treated. This combination is what makes mechanical disintegration viable.

Thanks to the QuickService design, service and maintenance are quick and easy in the DisRuptor: Swivel up the DisRuptor head provides optimal access to the function unit. Maintenance, adjusting the function unit or replacing parts are simple and can be done in just a few steps.

All DisRuptor units have a hydraulic support for swivel the DisRuptor head upwards. That allows the DisRuptor to be opened effortlessly, e.g. for service and maintenance.

Both parts of the DisRuptor ring are hardened with a special process, and have a wear-resistant surface. The DisRuptor wings are made of hardened special steel. In addition, the sophisticated geometry and layout of the parts ensure a long service life.

Options of the DisRuptor

For individual adjustment of the DisRuptor to the local situation and the medium, there are two different types of DisRuptor pot on offer. Customers can choose from the Inline pot with a permissible pressure up to 2 bar. It is very easy to retrofit, as the inlet and outlet are opposite one another. As an alternative, the Compact XL pot facilitates pressures up to 4 bar.

For simple installation and a firm stand, the DisRuptor is available fully installed on a steel base. It has forklift pockets to allow the unit to be easily transported and positioned.

All components of the DisRuptor are made of steel. The housing is completely galvanized. A stainless steel variant is available for applications with particularly aggressive media. In this version, all wetted parts are made of stainless steel, including the DisRuptor ring and DisRuptor wings.
