Cutter and Chopper Pumps

For systems with high fixture count and uncontrolled waste stream, chopper and cutter pumps protect clients from the costs associated with system down time. Demanding applications like hospitals, jails, and municipal/multi-unit lift stations are especially prone to clogging because of the wide variety of non-sewage objects that may be present. It is important to note that cutter and chopper pumps are technically distinct product classes, but both are used in similar applications. A more detailed system design process is required for both classes due to their specialized nature.

Constructed with some of the most aggressive materials on the market like Tungsten Carbide, White Iron, and High Chrome, blades on these types of pumps cut and pass solids without skipping a beat (see the videos below). Cutter pumps have multiple flange adaptor options: ANSI / ISO, NPT, BAF, Tsurumi, Flygt, and Zoeller. This offers installers ready-made solutions that reduce replacement time. Chopper pumps are available in both oil-filled and air-filled motors, allowing for both wet and dry pit applications.
