Grinding Systems

Product Overview, Technology and Application Areas

 Grinding Systems protect
your installation
Universal Use

Grinding systems are used to effectively protect your complete installation including the pumping
equipment. They ensure that over-size solids are reliably reduced to a pumpable size therefore safely
avoiding the danger of blockages.

M-Ovas®
CUTTING PLATE MACERATOR

The M-Ovas® macerator for coarse materials is ideally suited for use in biogas plants where impurities in
the medium reduce process reliability. The solids in the medium are reliably macerated or separated from
the medium (e.g. stones), to prevent pipes getting blocked or damage to downstream equipment.
