Processing effluent and sewage containing soft solids is the primary focus of this hybrid cutter/grinder unit. It targets medium-scale wastewater assignments in agricultural and commercial environments where materials must be reduced for safe transfer to sewer mains. The robust construction provides a professional solution for domestic building services requiring reliable dewatering of solids-laden ingress through small-diameter discharge lines.
Operating output is defined by a 1.5 kW / 240v single-phase motor that attains a maximum head of 20 m. Drawing a rated current of 9.5 Amps, the system achieves a high-volume maximum flow of 341 L/Min for rapid wastewater displacement. The internal motor is engineered for continuous duty, sustaining consistent performance during intensive cutting and grinding operations in collection sumps.
Liquid intake is optimized for soft solids handling, utilizing a replaceable 7CR17 high chromium hardened stainless steel grinding mechanism. This configuration paired with a single cast iron impeller ensures that various materials are efficiently reduced and moved to treatment facilities. The precision cutting action significantly lowers the risk of mechanical blockage in the 2-inch BSPF discharge while sustaining high volumetric efficiency.
Structural resistance is provided by a heavy-duty cast iron hydraulic housing and foot plate combined with a 304-grade stainless steel shaft. Internal safety features include dual Graphite/Ceramic mechanical seals and an auto-resetting thermal overload integrated into the Class B windings. The 27kg assembly is rated for IPX8 and is supplied with a 10m H07RNF neoprene cable for secure manual deployment in aggressive environments.
