Tame Demanding Industrial Wastewater Solids

4-HYDRO open-channel, dual-shafted, wastewater grinders operate at slow speed using high torque to reduce the size of damaging industrial process solids. These powerful open-channel grinders are designed to protect downstream equipment, like pumps, valves, centrifuges and heat exchangers from damaging and clogging by large solids.

The 4-HYDRO grinder uses a standard 10 hp motor to power its way through large and challenging solids in the industrial wastewater stream. This ensures optimum process efficiency and reduces the need for unscheduled equipment maintenance, while improving solids recovery and dewatering.

Typical applications include:

  • Drill cuttings
  • Oil sands processing
  • Petroleum processing
  • Pulp and paper mills
  • Chemical plants
  • Fish/beef/poultry processing
  • Manure
  • Recycling plants
