Channel Monster™ sewage grinders represent the best-in-class technology for wastewater solids reduction.

The patented Channel Monster™ uses rotating screening drums to capture solids and direct them into Sulzer's proven dual-shafted grinder.

The result is a high-flow capacity system that can handle typical solids loading as well as tougher solids such as wood and occasional rocks.

Features and benefits

Dual-shafted grinder

  • Proven low-speed, high-torque dual-shafted grinding which can shred the toughest solids.
  • Grinds debris smaller than single-shafted machines.
  • Grinding separates organic from inorganic materials in the waste stream.

High-flow screening drums

  • High-flow screening drums prevent bypass of unshredded solids without compromising flow.
  • Standard stainless steel 12mm perforated drums.

Automated monitoring and controls

  • Protect pumps and other critical equipment from costly clogs and damage from tough solids.
  • Auto load sensing reduce interrupts and protects the system from damage.
  • Adaptive to custom requirements and plant SCADA systems.
  • Stores operational data.

Lower operating cost

  • Clear pipes and pumps means shorter pump run cycles and lower electrical costs.

Main applications

Channel Monster™ sewage grinders are designed to capture and grind down the toughest wastewater solids in high-flow systems such as:

  • pump stations where tough solids need to be ground up
  • high flows at the plant’s headworks

Wipes Ready™ technology

Channel Monster sewage grinders are available with the unique Wipes Ready™ suite of technologies. It was designed to capture all wipes in the waste stream and shred them into small pieces that will not reweave into a ragball in sewage systems.

The Wipes Ready technologies applied in Channel Monster sewage grinders are:

  • Wipes Ready cutters* – a combination of serrated cutters and knurled spacers cuts wipes in two directions. The result is smaller particles that cannot reweave downstream.
  • Delta P Side Rails* – direct solids into the cutters without sacrificing flow rate and prevent debris build-up in the grinder.
  • Optimised cut control (OCC)* – the OCC gear ratio optimises shaft speeds to enhance the cutting action and cleaning of the cutters, which in turn improves the performance and life of the grinder.
