Grundfos Optimizes SEWER CHEWER® Grinder with Cutting-Edge Design
Upgraded grinder is the right choice for tough wastewater, sludge-handling applications
AURORA, Ill. —Featuring competitive new elements such as a durable
ductile iron frame and an improved high-pressure pipe flanged seal,
the newly optimized SEWER CHEWER® grinder from Grundfos is key to
efficient and reliable solids conditioning in wastewater and sludgehandling systems.
As part of Grundfos’ Ready-to-Ship program, SEWER CHEWER grinders
are available for rapid delivery, providing a quick solution for raw
sewage, wastewater, sludge and processing waste. The grinder has a
number of key new features.
Completely submersible up to 90 pounds per square inch (psi), SEWER
CHEWER’s durable ductile iron frame boasts rugged motor support
and flexible coupling for effective and reliable power transmission. Its
patented cutter design provides maximum solids reduction thanks to a
unique tip that enhances grabbing action and a side-cutting feature
that provides additional cutting and shearing.
The grinder also features an improved high-pressure pipe flanged seal
and dimensional change for easy competitor replacement. Highefficiency side rails are contoured to allow maximum flow while
directing solids inward to the cutting zone. This design provides
superior head-loss characteristics. Watch a video of the grinder in
action.
In addition, a state-of-the-art digital NEMA 4X FRP controller and PLC
keypad operator interface provide unmatched control, operation and
monitoring features.
The SEWER CHEWER is part of Grundfos’ full range of intelligent pumps and systems for water supply and
wastewater applications. Grundfos optimizes pumping solutions like the SEWER CHEWER to provide maximum
reliability and resource efficiency.
