Uniqa Chopper Series-2

better together Chopper Series The ultimate solution to clogging problems of pumps and pipes in solid waste sewage lifting plants In wastewater treatment plants, more often than not, a high amount solid waste, even of large size, tends to build up inside the collection tanks, potentially blocking the impeller and clogging up the pipes making the lifting station almost ineffective. When this occurs at a time when there is a large influx of water into the tank, the blocking of the pump become a serious issue that can lead to overflowing and compromise safety. The use of filtering grids is not an...

Uniqa Chopper Series-3

The Zenit solution ZUG CP models with high-efficiency motors and hydraulic "Chopper" can expel any solid shreddable body present in the wastewater by exploiting an effective cutting system. The heart of the system consists of a robust steel knife with a sharp edge, skimming the blades of the channel impeller for cutting solid bodies of any shape and material. This prevents the impeller from blocking, but also avoids the build-up of residues in the pipe ensuring smooth operation of the system. The components are designed using special threedimensional fluid-dynamic modelling software. Use of innovative...
