Super Shredder - High-Flow, Low Headloss Inline Disintegrator
The Super Shredder in-line disintegrator reduces tough wastewater solids to fine bits with a unique, high flow, spherical rotor design. The unit is specifically designed for high capacity and minimal headloss. In fact, because of its high percentage of open area, the Super Shredder remains practically invisible to flow. The Super Shredder is simple to install in straight-through pipe systems. It quickly goes to work protecting pumps and enhancing the operation of process equipment. This unique unit has provided remarkably dependable service in installations worldwide.
The Super Shredder cutters are constructed of stainless steel. A special hardfacing alloy is fused to all cutting surfaces providing up to 20 times the abrasion resistance of hardened steel.
The Super Shredder is provided with an S250 automatic reversing control system.
The Super Shredder easily installs into straight through pipe systems via 150# flanges. It quickly goes to work reducing solids such as wood, rags, sludge, paper, plastics and more. The Super Shredder stops pumps and valves from ragging and plugging, protects filter presses from expensive punctures and incomplete de-watering, enhances and protects centrifuge operation and more. It can process waste sludge, agglomerates, oil solids, animal waste, paint sludge, pulp and paper, tannery waste, fish scrap and more.
Construction
With only two cutting elements, the Super Shredder’s construction and maintenance is greatly simplified. The cutters are constructed of T316 stainless steel with a heavy fused coating precisely applied to all cutting surfaces. These corrosion resistant cutters provide long dependable service in abrasive service without the embrittlement associated with hardened alloys. With its bi-directional cutters, wear is further reduced via automatic reversing of the unit’s direction of rotation. Two convenient cartridges house the unit’s seals and bearings. Each cartridge consists of a primary seal, a severe duty mechanical seal, oil seal, heavy duty tapered roller bearings and stub shaft. This seal design has proven highly dependable and easy to maintain.
To The Rescue
A correctional institution had a problem with plugging of their pump systems. The inmates would intentionally flush large solids including aluminum cans into the sewage system. The solution was the installation of a Model SS1200 Super Shredder. This unit alleviated pump failures and system backup. To quote the plant maintenance supervisor, “The Super Shredder solved a big problem for us. Without it our system would fail in a matter of hours so we really can’t be without it.”
