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. As the rotating cutting edges precisely intermesh with stationary cutters at close clearance, solids are finely reduced with a scissor-like action. This unique design effectively handles round, even-shaped solids as well as irregular objects.

The SUPER SHREDDER, coupled with Franklin Miller Chrome Boride Hardfacing, makes it excellent for long life in abrasive service.
