The series is designed for breaking down a variety of different materials and is ideal for wastewater treatment, biogas and biomass plants, food and animal processing and many other waste and industrial applications. The grinders can be installed upstream of a pump (inline version) or above the feeding screw of a hopper pump (channel version) or in any effluent channel. The inline version is available in 3 sizes and can handle a maximum flow rate of up to 350 m³/h. The channel version of this grinder is available in 4 sizes, designed for a maximum flow rate of up to 400 m³/h.
