Multichopper for handling waste streams

The Multichopper is suitable for inline macerating in a wide range of local authority and industrial applications. The fluid/solid mixture flows from one side to the other side of the macerator and would be installed in front of a positive displacement pump.

Heavy solids such as stone etc, accumulate in the lower compartment of the unit and can easily be removed through the side-mounted cleaning port. Solids, flowing with the fluid, penetrate the screen shear plate and the double-knife action ensures good macerating results.

The knife tension to the shear plate is adjustable from the outside of the unit and a central shaft clamp construction keeps the assembly axially aligned.

Both sides of the shear screen plate are equipped with tri-blades, enabling six macerating cuts per rotation. The screen plate is a radial fixed position and is held in place between the two knives along the shaft. The shaft seal is furnished with a mechanical seal.

The Multichopper incorporates a maintenance-friendly design. By opening the front clamped cover plate, all rotating parts can be maintained and/or replaced from the front without any special tools. The side set-up of the motor/reducer configuration enables easy movement of the hinged cover, including all shaft-mounted devices.

The unit is suitable for handling fibres, rags and ropey materials that clog downstream pipe systems and valves.
