MACERATOR & GRINDER UNITS
Grinder & Macerator tanks are commonly used to transport and reduce the particulate size of the solids in wastewater flows.
These tanks can be used to lift the wastewater stream to the inlet of our redFox® units or reduce the size of the particulate to send to the sea.
redFox® Grinder Tanks consist of the pump, a tank, and a control panel. A cutting mechanism macerates waste and grinds the sewage. The pump is controlled by a level float sensor on demand.
Typical features
- Control Panel for Simplex Pump Operation H/O/A Level Control
- Skid mounted with lifting lugs (macerates to 1/4″ solid or less)
- External or Internal Mounted Pumps
- Submersible Sewage Handling Pump
- Simplex or Duplex Configurations
The new waterFox® macerator is designed for the offshore platform which does not require the sewage
treatment unit. Regulations specify that waste solids must b eno more than 1/4″ in size. It operates using high
pressure water from the platform fire pump, or other source, to hydraulically rip the solids apart to 1/4″ or
smaller. Simply connect the waterFox® inline to the existing sewage line and the unit is ready to operate.
