New heavy duty grinder for difficult solids

Mono® NOV® (UK) a major European manufacturer of pumps, parts, grinders, screens and packaged systems, has launched a new addition to the TR Muncher® range. This competitively priced model is designed specifically to meet on-site tanker discharge requirements and sludge/fat processing, by protecting downstream equipment from blockages, while allowing quick and easy inspection and maintenance.

Ian Hallows, Business Manager for Waste-Tec products at Mono, commented: “Our TR Muncher range has always been accepted as a heavy duty, reliable grinder to process difficult solids present in wastewater sludges. However, downstream process requirements have changed due to the increasing installation of finer inlet screens, resulting in reduced particles and solids loading within the sludge treatment process.”

“We therefore developed the new TR Muncher® to specifically meet these changing requirements and offer customers the benefits of low power, smaller footprint and reduced maintenance costs. The proven benefits of the TR Muncher® trash trap, inclined cutter stack and pull-back design have all been retained.”

Installation of the new TR Muncher® is simple, with in-line flanges or the option of tanker coupling connections. Quick release inspection covers allow in-situ replacement of the cutters and these can be specified to either 8.0mm, 5.5mm and 3.0mm thickness to match the optimum particle size for specific process requirements.
