JWC Environmental is proud to introduce the new Sludge Monster® grinder – built to protect sludge pumps, heat exchangers, centrifuges and other dewatering equipment from clogging with rags and debris.

The in-line Sludge Monster uses the same low speed, high-torque design as the bigger Muffin Monster®, but in a compact and economical package. This Monster produces 3 times the torque and 5 times the cutting force of high-speed macerators. Over twenty thousand Muffin Monsters are installed protecting pumps and equipment from clogging and ragging.

The Sludge Monster is also energy efficient using 27% less energy than a typical high speed macerator. A 2-hp (1.5kW) motor generates all the torque needed to reliably shred rag balls and trash into small particles. The low-speed design also ensures a long service life. This efficient design results in a lower life-cycle cost than high-speed macerators with larger motors. (more…)
