Franklin Miller grinders effectively reduce solids such as rags, plastics and wood that might otherwise damage valuable pumping equipment.
Torqueflow-Sydex has signed an agreement to exclusively represent the Franklin Miller range of solids handling equipment in UK and Ireland.
Franklin Miller grinders effectively reduce solids such as rags, plastics and wood that might otherwise damage valuable pumping equipment.
The Taskmaster is provided with cutter cartridge technology, unique to Franklin Miller, wherein six cutter disks and six spacer disks are replaced by one piece elements for far greater strength.
Through using fewer components, the need for stack tightening is eliminated.
As the teeth wear on other grinders the stack will gradually loosen and eventually fail, resulting in expensive repairs and downtime.
This will not happen with the Taskmaster cutter cartridge design.
The Taskmaster is available as an in-channel or inline unit.
The Super Shredder inline disintegrator reduces tough solids entrained in pipeline systems.
The unit combines world-class size reduction capabilities with a streamlined easy to maintain design that features only a few working elements.
The Super Shredder is ideal for applications requiring a heavy-duty, size reduction processor that can handle high flows with minimal head-loss.
The unit utilises a low-speed, high-torque drive to chop, grind and shred solids into fine particles that can be easily processed by down-stream equipment.
Its innovative open-centre spherical rotor design maintains a high percentage of open area, making this unit practically invisible to the flow.
Size for size it can handle higher flows than other in-line grinder units.
The Spiralift range includes the Spiralift SC screenings conditioner that, grinds, washes, compacts and de-waters screenings with optimal washing capacity.
The SC conditioning system can be placed in tight waste water treatment plant locations.
The unit takes raw screenings from the screen and conditions them to minimise water, odour and organic material.
As the screenings drop into the SC hopper, they are washed by the upper spray nozzles and then ground by the Taskmaster grinder.
Next the Spiralift wash-press intensively washes organics and flushes them back into the system.
The remaining screening are then de-watered in the unit's press zone.
The processed screenings then pass through a discharge pipe, and are deposited into a bin, bag, hopper or conveyor all washed, ground and reduced in weight.
The integration of the grinder and press technology combined with highly rugged construction make the Spiralift SC unique and highly effective The Spiralift SL screening system is a fine auger screening system that grinds, washes, dewaters and conveyors nonorganic material out of the liquid channel.
The SL employs a shaftless auger screw and fine perforated screen that captures debris.
By combining this 'auger screen' with the Tankmaster Titan grinder, the system achieves its unique level of reliability and effectiveness.
First, the grinder reduces the solids to a small size and loosens up any trapped organics.
A spray wash system then washes the organics off the solids and back into the flow where they can continue into the treatment works.
This also significantly reduces the odour of the screenings.
The perforated screen is wiped by the brushes around the perimeter of the auger.
The brushes are highly durable and are critical to the reliability of the system.
The homogeneously ground solids are effectively conveyed up the auger and can be easily disposed of, whilst free water flows back into the flow.
As the unit operates at low rotational speed, it consumes very little power.
