The Muffin Monster™
Wastewater only flows downhill, but there are plenty of situations where it simply isn’t possible to provide a consistent gradient between users and sewage treatment facilities. That’s why satellite pumping stations are a common feature of private and municipal wastewater systems.
Modern pumps are compact, reliable and energy efficient. In the right conditions, they can operate for years with minimal maintenance, but they don’t always get to enjoy those conditions. As populations grow and habits change, wastewater systems are exposed to a rising tide of difficult materials, especially tough fibrous products such as wet wipes and disposable nappies.
Left unchecked, these materials can jam up pumps, reducing flow rates, driving up energy consumption and ultimately bringing operations to a halt. That leads to costly and time-consuming maintenance visits to rectify the situation.
Monsters keep wipes away
For problem sewers or issues with pump blockages, the Muffin Monster™ is the best solution. The sewer grinder handles wipes and rags to reduce pump maintenance and avoid clogged sewers. It acts as a shredder, grinding debris into particles small enough for all pumps to handle effectively, allowing pumps to function at maximum efficiency. The grinder is available in three different models each with two different configurations.
Benefits
- Protect pumps and other critical equipment from costly clogs and damage from tough solids
- Wipes Ready™ cutters prevent materials from forming long strips and reweaving in the waste stream
- No labor needed to clean, disassemble and reassemble the repair unit, or wait months for parts. Just swap and go!
- Delta P side rails ensure solids are processed by the dual-shafted grinder while optimizing flow through the unit
- Lower operating costs by keeping pumps and other equipment running efficiently
