Features

Dual Shafted Grinder

  • Slow-speed, high torque grinders handle food, rags, rocks, wood, wipes, clothing, plastics and other debris.
  • Capable of grinding a wider variety of solids than single shafted machines, macerators, or chopper pumps.

Compact and Efficient Design

  • Adapts to many applications with little or no modification.
  • HYDRO-IX Industrial Monster incorporate an easy to remove cutter cartridge.

Automated Monitoring and Controls

  • Auto load sensing and reversal, mechanism and optimize the grinder's performance.




Benefits

Powerful

  • Slow speed, high torque grinders easily shred tough solids to keep pipes and pumps flowing.

Flexible

  • A variety of standard and custom cutters are available to ensure a large variety of tough solids are cut down to size.

Equipment Protection

  • Protect pumps, Heat exchangers centrifuges and other critical equipment from costly clogs and damage from tough solids.

Lower Operating Cost

  • Clear pipes and pumps means shorter pump run cycles, lower maintenance costs and lower electrical costs.




Applications
  • Borehole drilling, oil sands processing, tank bottom cleaning.
  • Fats/Oil/Grease (FOG), food/beverage processing, animal and fish processing.
  • Biogas digesters, sludge, sewage and more.




Seal Options

Mechanical Seal Cartridge
Provides liquid protection of the shaft bearings for up to 90PSI (6 bar). No lubrication or flush water is required. The seal is used with the HYDRO series, pressurized pipe line or channel applications.

Flush Port Seal
Provides the greatest protection of the shaft bearings when aggressive media is involved in the process. Flush water is provided at the seal faces to wash away particles and destructive media increasing intervals between maintenance. This seal can be used in pressurized pipe line applications.
