Bioethanol & Biodiesel
Numerous raw materials go into biodiesel and ethanol production. These are mixed and pumped using bio-substrate mixing systems, while spent grain and other dewatered products are transferred using Open Hopper pumps with an integrated auger feed for efficient intake of low-flowability material.

Finite Reserves, Rising Demand
Global oil reserves are finite, the effects of climate change can no longer be set aside, and a growing world economy demands ever more energy and fuel. Transport and travel account for a large share of the growth in oil consumption.
This, together with tightening legislation on greenhouse gas emissions, has focused engineers worldwide on alternatives such as bioethanol and biodiesel to support a lower-carbon economy.
The pumping problem behind the fuel. Biofuel feedstock is abrasive, fibrous and frequently non-flowable. It wears pumps out, blocks conventional inlets and resists accurate metering — which is precisely the combination progressive cavity technology was built to handle.
Numerous Feedstocks, Two Handling Routes
Numerous raw materials go into biodiesel and ethanol production — and how each one reaches the process depends entirely on whether it will flow.
Bio-Substrate Mixing Systems
Raw materials are combined and pumped using bio-substrate mixing systems — bringing the feedstock into the liquid phase so it can be conveyed through the process.
- Mixes and pumps in a single system
- Flanged connections for liquid-phase feed
- Easy-maintenance construction
Open Hopper With Auger Feed
Spent grain and other dewatered products are transferred using Open Hopper pumps with an integrated auger feed — for efficient intake of low-flowability material.
- Handles dewatered and non-flowable product
- Integrated auger feed for efficient intake
- Keeps the pumping element fully charged
ROTOMAC Pumps For The Bioethanol And Biodiesel Industry
Four duties across the plant, and the pump range specified for each.
Transporting Liquid Raw Materials And Substrates
Bioethanol and biodiesel production demands pumps that can reliably handle abrasive media. Our range includes easy-maintenance construction that helps restore pump efficiency without a full parts replacement.
Transporting Viscous Products
Highly viscous, non-flowable products — whether imported or produced locally — are readily handled by our Open Hopper Range pumps.
Mixing Raw Materials
Raw materials for bioethanol production are combined and pumped using bio-substrate mixing systems with easy-maintenance construction and flanged connections for liquid-phase feed.
Dosing Additives
Our MP & LA Dosing Range pumps deliver low to highly viscous and aggressive media, with or without solids, to an accuracy of ±1% and with minimal pulsation.
Pump Ranges For Bioethanol & Biodiesel
The ranges most often specified for this sector. Send us your duty and our engineers will confirm the model.
S Range
Robust all-round progressive cavity pumps conveying low to highly viscous products, with or without solids.
W Range
Open hopper pumps with integrated auger feed for highly viscous, semi-solid and non-flowable products.
