The Taskmaster twin-shaft macerator (photo) does not have individually installed cutting blades, but single elements made of special steel comprising six cutters and six spacing rings. To achieve the required particle size, different blade designs are available. The inline design makes the Taskmaster suitable for direct installation into the pipeline. It can be connected to a horizontal pipeline or a pump inlet of the firm’s NEMO pump or Tornado rotary-lobe pump, where the flange is set to 90 deg. The unit allows flowrates of up to 300 m3/h with dry solids content of up to 10%. Due to the intersecting cutting cartridges, even coarse solids can be macerated. — Netzsch Mohnopumpen GmbH, Waldkraiburg, Germany
