Like many WWTP, the facility in Broomfield Colorado found themselves battling lots of issues with their pumps. After undergoing a lift station rebuild of a 40-year -old station, they began to look at their old pumps as the next step to get their facility upgraded and as efficient as possible.
“We had so much ragging with our old pumps,” said KevinLosey, Electrical and Mechanical Utility Manager. “We would take a pump apart and pull tons of rags out of the impellers. We were able to isolate the pump so it didn’t shut our operation down, but it did create a lot of work and use a lot of manpower.”
Previously, the city had installed a Franklin Miller grinder at one of their other stations, so they felt positive that going with another Franklin Miller unit would work well in their upgraded lift stations as well. After all, their original Franklin Miller unit was in great working order and its teeth had remained sharp and effective.
The city decided to install a Franklin Miller Dimminutor. The effect was immediate. “We installed the Dimminutor grinder in the inflow and it has been working really really well. We have had it installed since early2023. No trouble at all. It’s just been such a great change,” Losey said.
The DIMMINUTOR® provides automatic screening and grinding of liquid-borne solids with a straight-through open channel design. This unit reduces plastics, wood, vegetable matter, disposables and other oversized items to a fine particulate. The DIMMINUTOR® is designed for reliable operation and easy maintenance. For example, with its cantilevered design, the DIMMINUTOR® needs no seals or bearings near the gritty channel floor.
The unit’s screen is stationary so it never wears against bottom grit. Each cutter is interchangeable and cutters can be removed or adjusted independently. The unit’s seals and bearings are immersed in an oil bath for long life and low maintenance. These units can be installed in straight through channels, wet wells or water inlets. They can be installed for full or occasional submergence.
“Our whole experience with Franklin Miller has been great,” Losey said. “Everyone at their company, and at their rep here in Colorado have been great to deal with.”
High Brothers Lumber Services has been serving Missouri for over 40 years. Their 125,000-square-foot facility houses all their building materials, from which they are able to serve professional tradesmen and homeowners.
High Brothers found they were dealing with a lot of unwanted pallets around their 11-acre facility. For a while, they were disposing of them by burning them, but soon found they had too many to keep up with them. The pallets started to pile up faster than they could dispose of them. Because this is a lumber yard, they have insurance and regulatory limitations to follow. For example, they needed to keep the pallets fifty feet from the building and keep them stacked in a certain way. They were soon running out of space and time tending to the discarded pallets. They knew they needed a better solution and that’s when they reached out to Franklin Miller. After speaking to the company, they decided a pallet shredder would be perfect for their needs. They installed the Taskmaster XL in early 2023.
“We are still getting caught up on shredding all the older pallets,” said Kevin Brell, fleet manager at High Brothers Lumber Services. “It is working great.”
Brell explained that once they get caught up on the backlog of pallets, they expect to probably shred around 20-40 pallets a week. They don’t anticipate the Taskmaster XL having any problems with that volume, considering they’re doing so much more now.
“The machine truly works great,” Brell said. “Shreds them right up. Nails and all.”
The TASKMASTER XL shredder effectively shreds entire natural wood pallets to reduce their bulk volume. This unit can substantially reduce the expense of disposing of pallets. With the XL, there are no drive belts to replace or re-tension. Instead, it features a smooth-running gear drive which is simple to operate. This unit is designed to be easy to use and easy to maintain. Its hopper automatically directs the pallet into the cutting chamber. An automatic reversing control makes operation simple. Optional equipment includes forklift waste hoppers, or a choice of discharge conveyors to automatically transport the output into waste containers.
High Lumber keeps their Taskmaster XL in a small shelter that is open on one side to the elements. Brell expresses how easy the machine is to operate exactly where they need it to work.
“I’ve spoken to others in the market for a pallet shredder and recommended this machine to anyone who asks,” Brell said. “It is a great shredder. It does what I want it to do. And what I need it to do.”
