Municipalities have deployed heavy-duty wastewater grinding and screening equipment at strategic locations in their waste system to prevent wipes accumulations. With TASKMASTER grinders in place, they can greatly reduce or eliminate the plugging and accumulation of wipes.
Our Wipes Grinders are engineered to meet a diverse range of operational requirements. For installations constrained by limited spatial availability, we offer an inline configuration that seamlessly integrates into existing pipeline systems. For more extensive pipeline networks requiring robust interfacing, a flange-to-flange installation model is available, designed to streamline both integration and subsequent maintenance procedures. For applications that necessitate frequent servicing, the grinders can be equipped with guide rails to facilitate easy removal from manholes. Additionally, we provide units with submersible motors to accommodate scenarios requiring underwater operation. This array of configuration options ensures optimal performance across a wide spectrum of wastewater treatment environments.
In 2007, "flushable" wipes came on the market. As the wipes increased in popularity and sales increased, the problem at the pumps increased as well. Unlike toilet paper, wet wipes fail to disintegrate. These wipes are not breaking up in the sewer systems the way ordinary toilet paper does. After the wipes are flushed, they tend to bind and clump together, creating huge balls which get tangled in the pumping equipment.
Sewerage authorities and wastewater treatment facilities continue to be challenged by the increasing volume of sanitary wipes. These wipes cause time-consuming bottlenecks, clogging the pumps, causing them to break down and redirect stagnant wastewater back toward houses. The severity of this problem has led to nationwide media attention.
Some municipalities report accumulating anywhere between $400,000 up to $18 million in related to costs to the district. The TASKMASTER® TM8500 grinder solves this major problem for countless municipalities, lowering downtime and costs.
The TASKMASTER® TM8500 grinder has the advantage of CUTTER CARTRIDGE® technology for superior performance. The CUTTER CARTRIDGE combines 6 cutters and 6 spacers into rugged one-piece elements, greatly reducing individual cutter parts and increasing unit strength and reliability.
As a specialist in the size reduction and wastewater industry for over 50 years, we can offer you a custom solution. Our grinders are designed with treatment works in mind and can handle most of the difficult waste including "flushable" wipes.
