New Biogrinder XL: Efficiency boost for modern large-scale biogas plants

January 23, 2026

For many years, the mechanical defibration of input materials – such as the pre-treatment of manure in the Biogrinder – has set standards for efficient biogas production. Intensive shredding and stressing significantly increases the surface area of the material, which leads to significantly faster and higher gas formation in the biogas plant.

The impressive installation base shows that this principle is convincing worldwide: more than a hundred Biogrinders are in use around the globe. The range of materials is as diverse as the regions themselves – from pineapple and papaya residues in the Philippines to cattle manure and corn straw in European plants.

At the same time, the biogas market is growing steadily. Biogas plants are also becoming increasingly larger, driven by technological advances, rising efficiency requirements, and the need for reliable energy supplies in densely populated and industrial areas.

The logical response to this development is the new BHS Biogrinder XL. With a significantly enlarged inlet, larger working chamber, and optimized outlet, it has been specially developed for the requirements of large-scale plants. It really comes into its own with very sticky substrates, such as highly adhesive manure. Compared to the previous RBG 08 series, a 1.5 to 2-fold increase in throughput is expected.

The BHS Biogrinder XL thus sets new standards in the pretreatment of demanding biomasses and offers operators of modern large-scale plants a powerful solution for further maximizing their gas production.

Benefits of the new BHS Biogrinder XL at a glance

Higher throughput
Significantly increases processing capacity and makes large quantities of substrate easy to handle. More gas production per unit of time.
More powerful drive (110–160 kW)
The increased power reserve ensures reliable operation, even with particularly demanding substrates.
Optimized for sticky materials
The Biogrinder XL really comes into its own with tough, difficult-to-process input materials such as manure, for example.
Future-proof for growing plants
Ideal for modern large-scale biogas plants that have to meet increasing efficiency and capacity requirements.
