Innovative Grinder Solutions for Managing Flushable Wipes Challenges
Flushable and sanitary wipes have become a major issue for wastewater treatment plants worldwide. Unlike toilet paper, wet wipes fail to disintegrate. They clog pumps, cause backups, and accumulate grease. Franklin Miller grinders are specifically designed to handle flushable wipes with ease and eliminate the issues associated with them.
TASKMASTER® grinders with CUTTER CARTRIDGE® technology have the unsurpassed ability to reduce difficult wipes to fine bits to alleviate clogs. These cutters have sharp, shark-like teeth that effectively rip through single or multiple clumped wipes and reduce them into small bits.
With rugged construction, precise alignment and optimized profile design, these cutters deliver superior performance on wipes and other stringy materials from day one and over the long run.
Sludge Processing
With our innovative hollow spherical rotor SUPER SHREDDER® and our TASKMASTER® twin-shaft grinders, we have the ability to combat plugging problems associated with sanitary wipes. Franklin Miller will have the right processor for your needs. Our grinders improve the reliability, life and performance of your pumps, centrifuges, digestors and other process equipment.
The SUPER SHREDDER utilizes a low speed and high torque action to chop, grind and shred solids into fine bits that can be easily processed by downstream equipment. Its innovative open-center spherical rotor design maintains a high percentage of open area—making this unit practically invisible to the flow. In fact, it can handle higher flows than any other inline grinder available.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
1Can Franklin Miller grinders handle rags, wipes, and debris?
Yes. TASKMASTER channel grinders and DIMMINUTOR inline grinders are specifically designed to handle the rags, wipes, plastics, fabrics, and debris that cause clogs in wastewater systems. Hardened alloy cutters shear through fibrous materials to protect downstream pumps and equipment.
2What is the difference between TASKMASTER and DIMMINUTOR grinders?
The TASKMASTER is a twin-shaft grinder installed in open channels for gravity flow applications. The DIMMINUTOR is an inline screening and grinding unit with a straight-through channel design that can be installed in gravity or pressurized pipe systems. The DIMMINUTOR features a cantilevered design with no seals or bearings near the channel floor.
3What maintenance do Franklin Miller grinders require?
Franklin Miller grinders are designed for reliable operation and easy maintenance. The DIMMINUTOR has a cantilevered design that eliminates seals and bearings in the flow path. TASKMASTER grinders feature CUTTER CARTRIDGE technology that combines individual cutters and spacers into high-strength one-piece elements, eliminating weak points and greatly increasing unit strength.
4What flow capacity options are available?
Franklin Miller offers grinders for a wide range of flow capacities, from small pump stations to large municipal treatment plants. Channel grinders handle gravity flow in various channel widths, while inline grinders are designed for pressurized systems. Our engineers will size the unit to your specific flow and head requirements.
5How do Franklin Miller grinders protect downstream equipment?
By grinding rags, wipes, and solids before they reach pumps, Franklin Miller grinders eliminate the pump clogging and impeller wrapping that cause emergency callouts and premature pump failure. Units can be installed at headworks, pump stations, or inline in pressurized piping.
