The efficient operation of wastewater
treatment plants depends on the solids handling capabilities of the
facility. Tough stringy plastics, wood, rocks, paper and other materials
can cause severe operational problems. That's where FMI size reduction
processors play a critical role worldwide in the war on pollution.
Pumps and other process equipment such as belt filter presses, digestors
and valves operate best with solids ground to a homogeneous, fine state.
This helps avoid or reduce maintenance problems such as punctured filter
belts, premature centrifuge drum wear, and pump impeller ragging.
Our units are suitable for applications in open channels, septage receiving,
inline pipe systems and gravity fed screenings in wastewater treatment
plants, pump stations or industrial wastewater facilities.
APPLICATIONS
A sample of the broad array of applications where FMI processors are
reducing solids in wastewater systems includes: The first line of defense
of the treatment process is solids reduction at the plant headworks
or pump station. The ®, and TASKMASTER® provide screening and
grinding of wastewater solids to protect downstream equipment.
Protecting Pumps and Equipment
The inline SUPER SHREDDER® improves the system while remaining
practically invisible to the flow. Whether in digestor recirculation
lines, in front of belt presses or ahead of sewage pumps, the SUPER
SHREDDER® enhances equipment operation and reduces downtime.
Grinding Screenings
A screenings grinding system often accompanies a mechanical bar
screen. Our heavy duty TASKMASTER® TM1600 provides fine, dependable
shredding of solids. It produces a more compact and processed product
for disposal or further processing.
For Pump Stations or Wherever Solids Need Reduction
For narrow channel installations, our TASKMASTER® TM8500 Series
is a mighty twin-shaft grinder in a compact package. It uses new multi-tooth
cutter cartridges that banks of individual cutters and spacers with
only a few parts.
For Screenings Removal
Franklin Miller makes several screening solutions including: Our AUTO-RAKE®
streamlined automatic hydraulically actuated front cleaning bar screen,
and our SPIRALIFT™ which removes and conditions solids with a
rugged twin-shaft grinder and shaftless screw screen.
