Where It All Began: From Austria’s Largest Biogas Plant to the Whole World

The story of DURAPARTS began at Austria’s largest biogas plant. It was here that the first wear-resistant parts for shredders were developed—in an environment where contaminants in the substrate cause extreme wear on a daily basis. What began as an experiment back then is now an established solution used worldwide.

Many ideas. Many tests. What has endured still works today.

It all started with experimentation. Different approaches, different materials, different geometries—not every idea proved successful. But it is precisely this process of development, testing, and optimization that remains the foundation of every DURAPARTS solution to this day.

What has stood the test of time is still in use today. The parts that have proven themselves on this system have been operating reliably for years—and are the best proof that well-designed wear protection delivers on its promise…

From an Individual Case to a Global Solution

The experience gained from this single plant has led to much more. Step by step, we have replicated and optimized the wear parts for nearly all common shredders used in the biogas industry.

Today, plant operators far beyond Austria’s borders benefit from these solutions—with one clear result: significantly lower operating costs thanks to longer service life and less frequent part replacements.

Conclusion

Major developments often start small. At Austria’s largest biogas plant, the foundation was laid for a product line that today reduces operating costs worldwide. Anyone struggling with high wear and tear in the biogas sector doesn’t have to put up with it—the right solution already exists.
