The DIMMINUTOR® provides automatic inline screening and grinding of liquid-borne solids through a straight-through open channel design, protecting downstream equipment in wastewater and industrial systems.
Established 1918 · Made in USA · Livingston, NJ
Product Overview
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.
Customize this product for your application
The DIMMINUTOR® is designed for ease of use and versatility. These units can be installed in straight through channels, wet wells or water inlets. They can be installed for full or occasional submergence. Units can be supplied with a standard bolt down sole plate or channel frames. Guide rails can also be supplied to facilitate removal from wet wells. A variety of drive configurations is available to meet most installation requirements including standard electric motors, dry running, (IP68) submersible explosion-proof motors, extended shafts or hydraulic systems.
