Municipalities have deployed heavy-duty wastewater grinding and screening equipment at strategic locations in their waste system to prevent wipes accumulations. With TASKMASTER grinders in place, they can greatly reduce or eliminate the plugging and accumulation of wipes.
Our Wipes Grinders are engineered to meet a diverse range of operational requirements. For installations constrained by limited spatial availability, we offer an inline configuration that seamlessly integrates into existing pipeline systems. For more extensive pipeline networks requiring robust interfacing, a flange-to-flange installation model is available, designed to streamline both integration and subsequent maintenance procedures. For applications that necessitate frequent servicing, the grinders can be equipped with guide rails to facilitate easy removal from manholes. Additionally, we provide units with submersible motors to accommodate scenarios requiring underwater operation. This array of configuration options ensures optimal performance across a wide spectrum of wastewater treatment environments.
In 2007, "flushable" wipes came on the market. As the wipes increased in popularity and sales increased, the problem at the pumps increased as well. Unlike toilet paper, wet wipes fail to disintegrate. These wipes are not breaking up in the sewer systems the way ordinary toilet paper does. After the wipes are flushed, they tend to bind and clump together, creating huge balls which get tangled in the pumping equipment.
Sewerage authorities and wastewater treatment facilities continue to be challenged by the increasing volume of sanitary wipes. These wipes cause time-consuming bottlenecks, clogging the pumps, causing them to break down and redirect stagnant wastewater back toward houses. The severity of this problem has led to nationwide media attention.
Some municipalities report accumulating anywhere between $400,000 up to $18 million in related to costs to the district. The TASKMASTER® TM8500 grinder solves this major problem for countless municipalities, lowering downtime and costs.
The TASKMASTER® TM8500 grinder has the advantage of CUTTER CARTRIDGE® technology for superior performance. The CUTTER CARTRIDGE combines 6 cutters and 6 spacers into rugged one-piece elements, greatly reducing individual cutter parts and increasing unit strength and reliability.
As a specialist in the size reduction and wastewater industry for over 50 years, we can offer you a custom solution. Our grinders are designed with treatment works in mind and can handle most of the difficult waste including "flushable" wipes.
A wood pallet shredder is a specialized machine that breaks down wooden pallets into smaller pieces. It uses powerful blades and rotors to shred the wood quickly and effectively, making disposal or recycling of the pallets easier.
Wood pallet shredders assist businesses in managing waste more efficiently by reducing the size and volume of discarded pallets and lowering the cost of waste removal. The shredded wood can be repurposed as mulch, bedding, or even fuel, contributing to both waste management and sustainability.
Franklin Miller offers two models of wood pallet shredders, the TASKMASTER® XL and the TASKMASTER® TM3000. These machines are built to be durable and efficient, handling large volumes with ease, so businesses can choose a model that meets their specific needs.
Choosing the right shredder depends on how many pallets you need to process, the desired output size, and what you intend to do with the shredded material. Franklin Miller offers guidance to help businesses select a shredder that aligns with their needs and goals.
Routine maintenance for a wood pallet shredder typically involves inspecting the blades for wear, lubricating moving parts, and checking the machine for any signs of damage. Regular care keeps the shredder running smoothly and extends its lifespan. Franklin Miller’s service personnel are available to make field visits to assess the operation of your equipment. Equipment can also be sent back to our factory for a full evaluation and rebuild.
The price of a wood pallet shredder can vary widely depending on the model and its features. Franklin Miller offers customized pricing based on each business's specific requirements and can provide a consultation to help determine the most cost-effective option.
