Grinding Systems

Product Overview, Technology and Application Areas

 Grinding Systems protect
your installation
Universal Use

Grinding systems are used to effectively protect your complete installation including the pumping
equipment. They ensure that over-size solids are reliably reduced to a pumpable size therefore safely
avoiding the danger of blockages.

M-Ovas® N.Mac®
Cutting Plate Macerator Double Shaft Grinder

The special shape of the housing
directs solid particles in the waste
water towards the cutting plate,
where they are held and chopped
by the rotating blades.
The double shaft macerators has
been designed for applications
where the medium contains large
solid objects. Dependent on the
size reduction requirements there
is a choice of different tooth and
spacer plate combinations.

M-Ovas®
CUTTING PLATE MACERATOR

The M-Ovas® macerator for coarse materials is ideally suited for use in biogas plants where impurities in
the medium reduce process reliability. The solids in the medium are reliably macerated or separated from
the medium (e.g. stones), to prevent pipes getting blocked or damage to downstream equipment.
