The new vertical Auger Monster captures rags & protects pumps.
Wastewater pump stations are facing an influx of sewer clogging rags and debris, so JWC Environmental engineers developed a breakthrough vertical Auger Monster® screening system to fit inside cramped pump stations and provide complete pump protection.
Once installed, Auger Monster model AGV safely and easily screens, cleans and conveys rags and debris straight up and out of the sewer system. This gives collection system managers an affordable new way to remove rags before they can clog sewage pumps and eliminate the wasted time and expense of de-ragging a pump.
The vertical Auger Monster is attached to the wall of the pump station next to the influent pipeline and captures rags, wipes, plastics and trash before they get inside the wet well. The screen is custom built to fit each site and can screen up to 1 million gallons per day (158 m3/h). It can also be installed as a headworks screen for a small treatment plant or lagoon system.

After 24 years this Muffin Monster is finally coming back in to get a new set of sharp steel cutter teeth. (credit: Gore Mtn)
At Gore Mountain ski resort in New York, a Muffin Monster sewage grinder faithfully chews-up all the debris flowing into the treatment plant into small particles in order to protect pumps and systems from clogging.
After 24 years of continuous operation the grinder is finally taking a break from the slopes and coming back to JWC Environmental’s Buford, Georgia rebuild facility to get a new set of sharp steel cutter teeth installed. Then it’s back up on Gore Mountain again for even more shredding.

When Otter Creek Water Reclamation District was faced with expensive reoccurring clean-up costs because of rags, wipes, flushables and debris at their largest wastewater pump station, engineers solved the problem with a Muffin Monster sewage grinder.
The Village of South Elgin, established in 1897, is a picturesque community that attracts visitors and new residents with its old world charm. Located about 40 miles northwest of Chicago, Illinois, the Village’s 22,000 residents rely on three wastewater pump stations. The largest of these is located at the Thornwood Lift Station where flow to the station is about 490 gpm (110 m3/h) and three 40-hp (30 kW) pumps need to move sewage at about 600 gpm (136 m3/h) @ 36’ (11m) TDH. Here, build-up of rags, trash wrappings and other debris were clogging the system and forcing it offline. This necessitated regular cleanings totaling over $19,000 per year…

JWC Environmental was awarded a purchase order for a Monster Separation System at IEUA’s Regional Water Recycling Plant Number 4 in Rancho Cucamonga, California. The plant is undergoing an expansion to handle 14 million gallons per day (2,200 m3/h).
The order includes:
“The plant was having trouble with material bypassing the old bar screens, issues with hair and rags clogging pumps and building up inside the sludge digesters,” said Tom Roberson of Misco Water, the equipment consultant on the project. “IEUA carefully examined all their options, including screening the sludge, but decided the best choice was fine screens at the headworks. They want to remove all the debris right at the headworks.”
The Finescreen Monsters will stand nearly 30′ (9m) tall and can each handle a max flow of 36 mgd (5,700 m3/h).
IEUA operates several water reclamation facilities in Southern California’s Inland Empire. Plant number 4 is a water recycling facility which purfies wastewater to meet strict California Title 22 reuse requirements.
Once the plant is upgraded – wastewater will enter the plant’s influent pumping station; pass through the perforated plate Finescreen Monsters; then primary settling; secondary aeration; bio-nutrient removal; sand filters and finally through a chlorine disinfection process. The purified water is used for cooling water in a local power plant as well as for irrigation on parkways, medians and golf courses.
JWCE’s Finescreen Monster uses high-strength UHMW, perforated screening panels to capture rags and debris and remove them from the wastewater. Small ¼” (6mm) circular openings capture all debris including small items – such as cigarette butts, latex and plastics. Screenings Washer Monster then grinds, cleans, dries and compacts the debris before depositing it in a trash bin, ready for landfill disposal. It removes nearly all fecal matter and has reduced the cubic volume at some sites by 95%. Cleaner, more compact discharged screenings helps reduce the expense of hauling and landfilling screenings.
Misco Water is an equipment consultant with offices in Northern and Southern California, and Las Vegas, NV.

JWC Environmental introduces its largest grinder ever – the Macho Monster model 70000. This massive two-shafted grinder features an extra-large robust cutting chamber designed specifically for processing high-volume solids in large scale shredding applications such as wastewater screenings, various heavy-duty industrial dry grinding applications, food waste receiving, petrochemical and other various large scale, wet or dry solids reduction applications.
Primarily designed for use in automatic hopper-fed configurations, this dual-shafted grinder features two rows of large 10-inch (254mm) diam., 7/8-inch (22mm) thick cutters designed to grab large debris for size reduction and further processing. Built with JWCE’s largest, 4-inch (101mm) diam. hex shaft size, the grinder produces an impressive 20,000 lbs. of cutting force at peak loads. JWCE engineers can also custom design cutter configurations to meet specific application needs.
“The massive 70000 operates using a slow speed, high torque design and can be configured with a 25 HP (18.5kW) to 50 HP (37kW) motor mounted on corresponding 87:1 to 43:1 gear reducers, making this one mean, green grinding machine” says Rob Sabol, Director of R&D.

Global software company Autodesk recently featured JWCE and Rob Sabol, our director of Research and Development, on their news website. Rob discussed the benefits of AutoCAD software and the ways our researchers and designers use it to come up with inventive new Monster sewer grinders and fine screens.
Rob said JWCE was operating on multiple different platforms—with everything from VersaCAD for electrical schematics, ExpertCAD and Pro/ENGINEER for mechanical design, and Pro/INTRALINK for managing their design data. After seeing how seamlessly Autodesk Inventor, AutoCAD Mechanical and Electrical, and Vault operate together, he was convinced that he could simply get rid of the other platforms and standardize on Autodesk design and data management software.
