The task
The requirements:
- Fail-safe heat supply of the industrial area
- Economy and long-term cost savings
- Environmentally friendly alternative to old oil heating
- Utilisation of your own wood
Our solution
Metal company Welser Profile replaces oil heating with 2 Magno-SR 800 for 30,000 m² and thus saves 50 % of the previous heating costs:
- 2 x Magno-SR 800 kW industrial heating system in cascade
- 2 x layered accumulator of 30 m³ each
- Underground wood chip bunker with moving floor system
- Automatic fuel supply via augers
The internationally active metalworking company Welser Profile, based in Ybbsitz, has invested in modern biomass technology from Hargassner as part of a comprehensive heating technology changeover. The objective: to move away from fossil fuels and towards an economically and ecologically sustainable heat supply.
At the heart of the new plant are two Magno-SR 800 biomass boilers with a total output of 1.6 megawatts. The boilers were installed in cascade connection in a newly built boiler house – a solution that enables both reliability and demand-orientated operation. The 20 x 20 metre boiler house is a particular highlight: A spacious wood chip bunker is located directly underneath, which efficiently feeds the system via a moving floor system. Special screw conveyor technology transports the material directly to the boilers. A modern filter system and two accumulator tanks of 30 cubic metres each also ensure maximum efficiency.

Ecological & economical
By switching to biomass, Welser has significantly reduced its COâ‚‚ emissions and halved its running costs compared to the previous oil heating system. In addition to the ecological benefits, regional added value was also a key motivation: the wood chips are largely sourced locally, which provides local farmers with additional income.
