See it to believe it - a Vaughan Chopper Pump in action speaks for itself. Follow the link below, sit back, and enjoy!
Municipal
Vaughan chopper pumps can be found operating in almost every stage of the wastewater treatment process. From handling raw, heavily concentrated solids in pump lift stations, to eliminating clogging problems in anaerobic digesters and sludge heat exchangers, the Vaughan chopper pump’s ability to reliably handle and condition difficult suspended solids without clogging ensures long-term operational success.
Typical municipal applications:
- Council and local authority pump stations
- CSO (Combined Sewer Overflow) facilities
- Water & sewerage headworks
- Screenings & septage receiving
- Primary & secondary clarifier scum
- Clarifier underflow sludge transfer
- Return & waste activated sludge
- Thickened & digested sludge transfer
- Sludge tank & digester mixing (Vaughan Rotamix)
- Digester sludge recirculation & transfer
- Sludge tank & digester cleanout
- FOG (Fats, Oils & Greases)
- Problem areas such as hospitals, prisons, malls, stations and airports where heavy solids clog conventional pumps
Industrial
The application possibilities for Vaughan chopper pumps in the industrial sector are endless. Whether it be pumping a solids-laden pulp and paper slurry, or difficult and stringy meat process wastes, with their heavy-duty and robust design, Vaughan chopper pumps will stand the test of time in the most demanding industrial solids pumping environments to provide unsurpassed clog-free pumping performance.
