The Giantmix FR has been specially
designed to optimize the biological
process in digester and afterfermen-
ters with almost constant substrate
levels. The Giantmix FR serves to
prevent the formation of floating
and sinking substrate layers
ensure that the substrate maintains
an equal temperature throughout
distribute nutrients for the biologi-
cal process homogeneously
enable more efficient gas flow out
of the substrate
One advantage of the design of the
Giantmix is that almost all of main-
tenance duties can be carried out
from the outside, which means that
opening the digester or dismounting
the unit is not necessary.
The drive side with the electric motor
and transmission is accessible from
the outside; only the shaft tube and
propeller are within the fermenter
and in an optimal position for tho-
rough mixing.

For technical reasons due to static,
the Giantmix FR cannot be directly
mounted to the wall of a steel dige-
ster.
Errecting a scaffold to support the
weight and absorb the thrusting for-
ces is a possible solution to compen-
sate for this limitation. This could
double as a service platform.
Aswell, a favoured application is
fixed mounting through the lower
part of the digester wall. It is inten-
ded mainly to prevent sinking sub-
strate layers from forming and
achieves thorough mixing.

A great advantage with the Giantmix
AMT is that the electrical, and many
technical components are accessible
from the outside. Hence, the AMT, to-
gether with its solid construction
provides optimal operational safety.
Retro-fitting is also possible provi-
ding the structural characteristics of
the digester are adequate.

The OPTIMIX agitators, together with
various installation fixtures, are suit-
able for substrate mixing in biogas
fermenters or residue storage facili-
ties.
All of the submersible motor agita-
tors have been approved for ATEX
zone 2. Alternative model 2A is fabri-
cated entirely in AISI 304 (V2A) stain-
less steel and has been approved for
zone 1.
Various installation fixtures are avai-
lable, depending on individual requi-
rements, for example: we can build
stainless steel masts with a swivel
function and height adjustment from
outside, to meet your individuel
needs.
All the component parts are designed
and manufactured at the SUMA fac-
tory. Modifications and individual de-
sign requirements do not constitute
a problem.

The Rekordmix B1 has been specially
developed for biogas plants built
around a large covered lagoon.
Retro-fitting is also possible.
The Rekordmix serves to optimize the
biological process by:
preventing the formation of floa-
ting and sinking substrate layers
ensuring that the substrate main-
tains an equal temperature
throughout
distributing nutrients for the bio-
logical process homogeneously
enabling more efficient gas flow
out of the substrate mass
Specification:
Shaft unit with electric motor, shaft
tube with bearing and sealing block
of low-maintenance modular con-
struction.
All important components are manu-
factured in stainless steel. To protect
the gas storage membrane inside the
bay, the propeller is fitted with a pro-
tective ring. An oil reservoir serves
the lubrication and the maintenance
indicator.
A mounting bracket for securing the
unit to the substructure is included
within the scope of delivery.
Height of the unit is set at the frame.
A rubber sealing membrane, secured
by a metal ring fastened to the mem-
brane ensures a gas-tight installation.
Through the rubber seal, the agitator
unit is mechanically separated from
the gas membrane to prevent ripping
and tearing of the membrane.

The Giantmix Z6 is the agitator for
open bays and lagoons, especially
those of residue storage in biogas
plants, in which difficult operating
conditions demand high-performance
tractor power.
The Giantmix Z6 has been developed
to suit the 240 HP and above tractor
generation. The Z6 is designed to
satisfy the demands for durability
over long periods.
The design concept of the shaft unit
bearings, proven over decades, has
naturally been adopted and incorpo-
rated into a practical modular con-
struction.
The compatible frame design has
been designed for a universal 3-point
connection.
For optimal alignment of the agita-
tor, the inclination can also be adju-
sted by the two parallel hydraulic
cylinders.
