How our pumps and mixers are used:
Our pumps and mixers play a vital role in every stage of the AD process – from feeding and blending material to transferring digested sludge and managing recirculation. Our robust and hard-wearing pumps handle fibrous and abrasive materials with ease, ensuring uninterrupted operation and minimal downtime. Optimised mixing systems help maintain ideal feedstock consistency in the tank, to maximise gas yields and boost your profits.
Industry challenge:
AD plants face demanding operating conditions – handling fibrous, abrasive feedstocks with varying dry solids, maintaining consistent digestion temperatures, ensuring thorough feedstock mixing and delivering efficient gas yields. Poor mixing or unreliable pumps can cause blockages, uneven digestion and costly downtime.
How Agrico solves it:
Courtesy of our German equipment partners, WANGEN Pumps and Eisele, we offer a variety of equipment that is ideally suited to challenging biogas environments. Hard-wearing, robust and ultra-reliable, all of our equipment is also backed up with expert support from our specialist UK team, centrally located in Staffordshire. Plus, we keep a large supply of original parts and spares in stock at all times, ready for next-day nationwide delivery to our valued AD customers to ensure minimal downtime.
Agrico knows the importance of equipment support and the challenges that unplanned downtime cause. We prioritise our customers’ needs to pre-empt problems before they occur to keep your plant running smoothly at all times.

Gareth Horler, Engineering Manager, Swancote Energy
“Agrico pumps have been a truly reliable supplier to us over the last 11 years. They are always at the end of the phone with technical support, with reliability and confidence in what they sell. They once got me a replacement rotor and stator to my yard in 3 hours in an emergency breakdown, which is key for uptime in the biogas industry. A great family-run business – everything is easy with them.”
Richard Gagg, Springvale Energies
“Agrico are our go-to supplier for mixers, pumps and wear parts for our busy AD plant. Their range of both Eisele and WANGEN models is extensive, and we can always get the exact part we need. John’s commitment to customer service and attention to detail is faultless, and the technical support we receive from Agrico is second to none. I also really appreciate their honesty and integrity."
Phil Robson, AD Plant Operator
“The service John and his team at Agrico Pumps provides is second to none. We recently had a motor gearbox failure on site. I contacted John and he had a replacement unit in stock which he then had shipped to our site by 5pm that same day. This kind of service is invaluable to a company like ours where any downtime can be very costly. The Agrico team are so helpful and always have great product knowledge.”
Anthony Stannard, Maintenance Engineer, Adapt Biogas
"Agrico Pumps are our go-to supplier for pumps and spares. Their level of service exceeds that of most other companies, and their knowledge and experience means we always get the right kit for the job. We were previously having problems with repeated blockages in our old lobe pump, which had been supplied by a competitor. John and his team recommended we try an Eisele VKM vertical centrifugal pump instead, and the difference has been huge. The new pump is reliable and trouble-free, just as we were promised. Agrico are a great family business, and I can’t recommend them enough.”
