Industrial Grinder

Many industrial processes for the transfer or dosing of fluids are about products like effluent, sludge or other waste type often loaded with solids or semi-solids. In order for the pumping of such fluids to remain possible, it is important that the installations used have grinding equipment capable of reducing the solids to fine particles in order to protect the downstream equipment without slowing down or interrupting the entire process.

PCM offers technologies that are well suited to different types of waste to be grinded and offers a macerator for filamentous string-type materials and a grinder for solid wood, plastic or pebble material.

PCM Industrial MACERATOR ™ Pumps

PCM’s industrial macerator pumps offer a cost-effective way to protect the reliability of your pumps.

Our industrial macerators can protect your pumps from rags, fibres and solid particles, using a proven concept which is based on a perforated shear plate and a rotating headstock. Suitable for all water works, they offer:

Pump protection from fibres and long particles
Improvement of preconditioning in the primary treatment
Replacement for in-flow grinders
Maximum flow rate of 400 m3/h

Specially designed for sludge applications, our macerators are suitable for new water plants or as a retrofit for old pipeliners. They can also be used as protection for pumping stations handling raw sewage, as well as maceration and mixing in a range of industries, from paper to oil.

Advantages

You’ll find a huge number of advantages when you choose PCM’s inline macerators, both to your equipment and processes.

Equipment

The interchangeable cartridge assembly consists of a cutter head with a self-compensating mechanism, which allows for the fast recovery of a breakdown, as well as:

PCM X-GUARD ™ INLINE GRINDER

The new inline PCM X-Guard grinder allows to shred solid waste contained in fluids before they damage your process equipment

The PCM X-Guard in-line grinder reduces the size of solids in wastewater or other, in fine particulate fluids. It crushes and shreds rags, pieces of wood, plastics, or other solid or semi-solid parts that could clog valves, damage pumps, or other downstream processing equipment.

Its cartridge cutter system, extremely robust and delivering high torque at low rotational speeds, is ideal for improving the performance of treatment and dewatering equipment for sludge or highly charged fluids.

PCM X-Guard prevents from costly damages, time consuming repairs, or unplanned maintenance operations. Furthermore, PCM X-Guard contribute to a better performance of the sludge treatment or dewatering equipment in helping to better precondition the sludge.
