Cutting-edge technology for agricultural technology, biogas, industry, transportation and wastewater
Solutions for Agriculture, Biogas, Industry, Transportation and WastewaterVogelsang GmbH & Co. KG develops, produces and distributes highly-engineered equipment that is easy to maintain. The head office is located in Essen/Oldb. in Lower Saxony, Germany. Founded in 1929 as a manufacturer of agricultural machinery, the company has grown to become a specialist in individually configurable machines, plants and systems for the agricultural, biogas, industrial, transportation and wastewater sectors.

Whether in the gas and oil industry, the chemical industry, the food sector, or recycling – efficient and safe pumping of abrasive, aggressive or highly viscous media remains a major challenge in the transport and disposal process. Depending on the industry, it is important to do more than just ensuring a safe, trouble-free process. The pump technology must be adapted to the respective medium. While grapes must be transported to production in the best possible condition, packaging waste must be macerated before it is forwarded to make it pumpable. Rubber solutions, paints or detergents require particularly high suction power, while contaminated media or media with high solids content can push pumps and macerators literally to breaking point.
The pump and shredding technology used in the industry must therefore not only be extremely high-performance and low-maintenance, but also flexible and equally gentle and resistant. The elastomer-coated rotary lobe pumps invented by Helmut Vogelsang in 1970 owe their excellent reputation to their compact design and low maintenance requirements. The pumps operate pulsation-free, despite their high power. This protects the mechanical components and increases their lifetime. Add to this the company's experience and history of innovation. As a solution-oriented partner, Vogelsang always manages to develop new, application-specific pumps and machine combinations that meet changing customer requirements. Equally carefully tailored shredding technology supplements a product line that covers the widest possible range of functions and economy.
Safe and reliable disposal of wastewater, i.e. the detection, treatment and purification of municipal and industrial wastewater, is becoming more and more important for the protection of waterwaysand the environment, but also for sustaining quality of life. Municipalities, wastewater associations and private operators of sewage treatment plants and sewage networks are being confronted with a wide range of requirements and specifications designed by legislators to ensure the drinking water of tomorrow stays clean. To avoid the entry of noxious substances, heavy rain events need to be safely handled and the reliable drainage of wastewater ensured at all times. Heavy rain incidents need to have as few effects as possible on the quality of wastewater purification and the Wastewater Ordinance needs to be observed at all times to prevent contamination of waters and the environment. In addition surface water and wastewater need to be detected and sewered separately where possible. Wastewater should be discharged via the sewage system, and wastewater treatment in the sewage treatment plant also needs to be as energy-efficient as possible while conserving resources. Organic loads need to be decomposed, with nitrogen and phosphate safely eliminated. At the same time the focus is on heavy metals and trace elements, as well as chemical and pharmaceutical residue in the wastewater. The requirement to separate microplastics in the future and recover valuable phosphates is presenting yet more, new requirements for sewage technology.
At the same time demographical changes and changes in living habits are influencing wastewater collection and purification. Above all there is the wish to keep the costs for wastewater removal and purification as low as possible, and ideally to reduce them. Consequently wastewater technology needs to be developed and adapted on a continuous basis, incorporating the latest knowledge into building new systems for wastewater treatment and purification, along with expanding and upgrading existing systems so that water is purified as best as possible, ensuring the ground is stressed as little as possible.
Vogelsang has been a reliable and innovative partner for wastewater technology for decades. We offer our customers efficient components such as wastewater pumps, slurry pumps, grinders and disintegration systems for the economically efficient operation of sewage networks and sewage treatment plants. Every single one of our products is designed for economical, reliable operation. Coupling together several machines and optimal coordination of individual components using intelligent control technology enables us to provide efficient system solutions for individual problems.

Objectively, biogas is considered a flammable byproduct of the anaerobic fermentation of organic matter. Biogas is one of the most flexible elements in the mix of renewable energies. It can be stored in the form of heat or electricity so that the energy can be used when it is needed. This flexibility makes biogas an ideal supplement to solar or wind energy, which both fluctuate in reliability and are difficult to regulate.
Vogelsang provides reliable components for the economic production of biogas. From pump technology to maceration, disintegration technology and solid matter feeding systems, Vogelsang offers a comprehensive portfolio of biogas technology for the entire range of fermentation. This is why we see ourselves as partners in the biogas sector. Together with our customers, we are continuously developing our biogas technology, adapting it to ongoing changes in the underlying conditions to deliver solutions for the efficient production of biogas. An important aspect of this is the individual analysis of every single biogas plant. This is the only way to find and fully realize potential for optimization.

In Germany alone, roughly 150 million people use long-distance trains or buses to travel from A to B every year1. Europe-wide, more than 9 billion passengers boarded trains in 20152. The logistical achievement behind this is immense—and that includes the drinking water supply to buses and trains and disposal of their wastewater. In addition to the fundamental investment in technical installations for supply and disposal, all kinds of national and international regulations need to be observed for hygienic reasons. This is a tight regulatory framework that the manufacturers of the corresponding equipment components can only master with in-depth expertise.
As a main supplier of major tran operating companies, Vogelsang is a market leader in the train car service sector in Germany, with decades of experience to look back on. Vogelsang's range encompasses not only the systems for supply and disposal of water and for interior cleaning, but also operating data management and system monitoring. We also offer corresponding systems for buses and boats as well.

Liquid manure is an important resource for agriculture. Used correctly, it brings with it distinct economic benefits. Though improved liquid manure technology comes at a price, it enables huge savings. Why? The more uniformly liquid manure is deposited on or in the ground, the better the nutrients it contains can be utilized since emissions are minimized. Farmers, corporate contractors and machine syndicates can significantly reduce outlay on mineral fertilizer using this natural source of nutrients. Using the full range of agricultural technology by Vogelsang will ensure low-emission application of liquid manure is more successful even under the most demanding conditions.
For several decades now, Vogelsang GmbH & Co. KG has been committed to liquid manure technology. Time and time again we have set new benchmarks for low-emission spreading, thereby enabling our customers to use the nutrients contained in liquid manure efficiently and hence optimize their operating costs. Consequently, we have contributed considerably to their economic success. Incorporating ongoing developments and innovations in our techniques means we are in a position to act as your professional partner – from tanking to spreading. For we know only too well that efficient liquid manure management with ground-level spreading saves costs while at the same time preserving the environment. In order to support our customers in achieving their economic goals as best as possible, we offer a broad portfolio of products in the areas of pump, shredding and spreading technology.
Whether you need to pump liquid manure loaded with foreign matter out of a pit, organic suspension into the digester, or aggressive chemicals: Vogelsang pumps are resistant to foreign matter, can convey highly abrasive media, and they are impressively easy to maintain. Thanks to their exceptional power they can convey media from 1 m3/h to more than 1,400 m3/h at differential pressures of up to 16 bar.
As one of the leading producers of positive displacement pumps, Vogelsang offers customers a variety of application-oriented solutions.










Some pumping processes require additional functions. But generally, this leads to problems relating to issues of space, installation possibilities etc. With pump systems from Vogelsang, our customers benefit from powerful pump technology combined with that certain something extra.




When a customer is looking for a grinding technology, the only thing that usually counts is whether the technology meets the requirements, i.e. whether the grinder can handle the medium and application. The details as to whether it's a single-shaft grinder, twin-shaft grinder or a combination of grinders and pumps is usually a secondary consideration or entirely irrelevant. To protect downstream components, however, additional foreign matter separators and/or heavy material separators are often advisable.
That's why at Vogelsang, we differentiate between the following types of cutters and separators:



Efficient disintegration technology reduces the costs of sewage treatment and biogas plants while improving results. By using Vogelsang technology to digest sludge or substrate, the gas yields of sewage treatment and biogas plants can be optimized. This is complemented by reduced power consumption of mixers, pumps, decanters and other components. In the waste water sector, the disintegration of sewage sludge also leads to less sludge accumulation and a lesser need for flocculants (polymers) when dewatering the sludge.
Vogelsang offers the following methods:

Biogas equipment must be safe and efficient to allow economic operation of the biogas system. In this respect digester feeding has a key function. This is why we have developed systems for feeding solid matter in a mashed form which is suitable for bacteria. Thanks to this feeding, which is ideal for the microorganisms, you can increase the gas yield and reduce your energy requirements for mixing, stirring and pumping. Vogelsang solid matter feeders contribute to a more efficient and profitable operation of your biogas system – and that has even been scientifically checked.
