Versatile Grinders
Franklin Miller offers a full line of inline grinders configured to meet any application requirement. Our versatile inline grinders are designed for low headloss, high flow, and heavy solid application. These versatile processors reduce rags, plastics, wood, tampons, sanitary napkins, sanitary wipes and more. They are invaluable in plant operations worldwide, keeping systems flowing, reducing pump downtime, and protecting dewatering equipment such as centrifuges, filter presses and more.
With our innovative hollow spherical rotor SUPER SHREDDER® and our TASKMASTER® twin-shaft grinders, we have processors tailored to your specific process needs that can improve the reliability, life, and performance of your pumps, centrifuges, digestors, and other process equipment.
The Franklin Miller SUPER SHREDDER® and TASKMASTER® have a long history of improving the efficiency and reliability of lines. Franklin Miller grinders are known for their heavy-duty capabilities and innovative designs with models available for a variety of application requirement.
Super Shredder
The SUPER SHREDDER® is an in-line grinder designed to reduce tough wastewater solids into fine particles. This inline grinder features a unique high-flow, spherical rotor design, which allows for high capacity processing with minimal headloss. Its design makes it virtually invisible to flow due to its high open area percentage. The SUPER SHREDDER operates at a low speed and high torque, chopping, grinding, and shredding solids into fine bits for easy processing by downstream equipment. Its open-center spherical rotor design handles higher flows than any other inline grinder, and its cutting edges work in a scissor-like action to finely reduce solids, including irregularly shaped objects. This system can be easily installed in straight-through pipe systems and is used to reduce a variety of solids like wood, rags, sludge, wipes, paper, plastics, and more, preventing damage to pumps, valves, and other equipment.
Inline Grinder Selection Guide
Inline Grinder Selection Summary
TASKMASTER TM8500 Inline
- Heavy-duty twin-shaft grinder for large-diameter pipelines (up to 24")
- Best for main trunk lines and treatment plant influent
- Handles high solid loads: rags, wipes, plastics, wood debris
- Suited to highest flow rates and highest solid concentrations
TASKMASTER TM1600 Inline
- Twin-shaft grinder in a more compact, lower-power design
- Ideal for branch lines, pump stations, and moderate flows
- Cost-effective where full TM8500 capacity isn’t needed
- Smaller footprint for tighter installations
Super Shredder
- Hollow spherical rotor with very high open area
- Highest flow capacity and minimal headloss of any inline grinder
- Scissor-like cutting for fine solids reduction
- Best when maximum flow capacity and low headloss are top priorities, especially in large-diameter pipelines
