Trusted by Treatment Plant Operators and Collections Managers Since 1973

30K In-line Muffin Monster dual-shafted sewage grinders operate at slow speed using high torque to reduce the toughest solids to small particles. Known in the industry as a sludge-grinding workhorse, this Muffin Monster is a mainstay in biosolids processing systems, protecting treatment equipment from damage, clogging and fouling by troublesome solids.

These 30K In-line Muffin Monster grinders adeptly cut through rags and other debris in waste activated sludge (WAS) and return activated sludge (RAS), while also preconditioning sludge for uniform consistency prior to digestion. In addition, 30K in-line units are commonly installed within pump station dry wells to protect pumps from solids found in the collections system.
