Unique Design Yields More Effective Twin Shaft Channel Grinding

Source: Franklin Miller Inc.

The TASKMASTER® TITAN Duplex joins the TASKMASTER TITAN family of innovative, high flow twin shaft channel grinders. These grinders have a unique design that provides a next generation of improved performance.

Unlike conventional twin shaft grinders that have two small diameter cutting stacks, one cutter stack of the TITAN intermeshes with a second one that has a much larger diameter and many more cutting teeth. The result is a unit with a massive wall of cutters and a larger throat opening of active cutting than any prior grinder. Benefits include superior processing of larger objects, a high flow intrinsically open design, the elimination of any path for solids to bypass cutting and greatly increased cutter life. Like all Taskmaster grinders, the Titan and Titan Duplex employ unique cutter cartridge technology for unmatched unit strength and low maintenance.

Each TASKMASTER TITAN produces a finely ground output particle for excellent protection of pumps and other downstream equipment from jamming and plugging. These powerful channel grinders make short work of reducing sneakers, wood, rags, paper, mops and bottles while allowing liquids to freely pass through in high volume. The Taskmaster Titan Grinder is provided with high quality tungsten carbide mechanical seals housed in a hardened stainless steel cartridge assembly for extremely reliable seal reliability. Additionally, the unit housings are uniquelyl protected by the use of replaceable wear elements.

The TASKMASTER TITAN Duplex employs two sets of counter-rotating shafts for flow rates up to 16 mgd (710 l/s) and wider channel widths starting at 35" (889mm) and wider.
