Grinder & Chopper Pumps

Q: Macerators and Grinders: a common pump design that is commonly misunderstood

A submersible pump which contains a grinding / macerating action are designed for applications where the statis head and / or lateral distance to be pumped are high and required discharge flow rates are low. The macerator / grinder breaks down the pumped medium so that the liquid can be transferred via a smaller bore discharge pipe, therefore retaining pressure within the pipe work and reducing the need to large kw motors, where as a larger kw motor would be required on alternative solids handling pump units which handle sewage waste as a whole without the need to macerate. Grinders / macerators are great when new, all the cutting blades are sharp yet unless they are maintained frequently and exposure to commonly flushed items such as wipes, sanitary products are reduced, the blades deteriorate and this type of pump, therefore, increases the risk of blockage and system failure.

Q: Do all sewage pumps have grinders?

Sewage pumps are available with or without grinders on the suction side of the pump.

Q: Why do I need a sewage grinder pump?

A grinder pump for sewage is required where the liquid to be pumped contains soft solids that could cause blockages further up the system.

Q: How much does it cost to install a grinder pump?

The cost of a grinder pump is very much dependent on the application. Contact one of the team for an accurate quotation.

Q: Do I need a grinder pump for sewage?

A grinder pump is not always required for sewage applications. A grinder pump may only be required should the solid contents need reducing to suit the existing pipe size.

Q: How long do grinder pumps last?

Pump longevity is determined by the service program on-site, for uninterrupted working hours, and regularly scheduled maintenance is highly recommended.

Grinder and Cutter Pumps

The GR Pro Blue, GRS, GRI, GRG range of robust grinder pumps have been specifically produced for wastewater and industrial applications. For example, when used within a pumping system to pump high heads and low flows which contain solids, these can be macerated. The cutting system is constructed of hardened steel with three blades that cut on an eight-hole cutter plate that rotates at 69,000 per minute, which is then taken into a multi-channel impeller.

Our grinder and chopper pumps are perfectly suited for reliable operation in a range of locations, including almost any housing, industrial, sewage treatment, agriculture, transport, biogas, food processing, agricultural, and environmental applications.

This range has been used for both domestic and industrial applications. We can offer standard motor or full ATEX-approved grinder pumps in this range.
