The dimensions of fermenters used in the fermentation of biogenic wastes for the purpose of producing biogas keep increasing together with the absolute amount in heavy solids in the biogenic wastes (9). As a result, the sediments on the bottom of the fermenter tank and the torque required for setting the agitator moving after a period of standstill increase, too. In order to solve this problem, the shaft (10) extending longitudinally through the fermenter is provided at the ends of the agitator arms (12) with paddles (13). These paddles (13), in the one direction of rotation convey matter, and in the other direction of rotation plough the matter. For this purpose, two shares (15) are disposed at an acute angle to each other and are formed onto the end of an H-beam (20). A scraper sheet (19) is welded to the lower end of the two shares (15). The paddle area is delimited by a paddle sheet (18). The front edge (16) of the two shares can be reinforced by a V-shaped profile. |
