NETZSCH offers you suitable solutions for the prevention of blockages and clogging

Robust, versatile, powerful: To protect your systems and the pump units they contain, we offer you high-performance grinding systems. These ensure that impurities are shredded ready for pumping. In this way, you can prevent the risk of blockages and clog in your pump systems.

Grinding systems can be used wherever necessary to reliably break down impurities such as textiles, plastics, or similar liquids to prevent damage to pumps or other systems. The large selection of different grinding systems enables an optimal and economical reduction of solids in a wide range of applications. Together with you, we will find the right system for your application. We promise you Proven Excellence - outstanding performance in all areas.

Grinders can be divided into two categories based on the different technologies. On the one hand, there is the technology of the M-Ovas® universal cutting plate macerator and, on the other hand, the N.Mac® twin shaft grinder. In the cutting plate macerator, the shreddable parts are pressed against the perforated plate by the flow or are partly drawn into the holes. More significant amounts accumulate in front of the perforated plate and are ground by the cutter head until they are flushed through the openings. This effectively protects connected units from blockages. By replacing the perforated plate, you can change the hole size and thus the degree of shredding. The twin shaft grinder technology is suitable for particularly coarse and solid contaminants. Here, the two knife blocks grind washed-up solids such as textiles or plastic waste in liquid media. Thanks to numerous different blade combinations, you can quickly determine the degree of shredding yourself. This prevents possible clogging in the pump chamber.
