XRipper® for Sewage Pumping/Lift Stations

How to Sell Vogelsang Twin-Shaft Grinders for Pump Stations or Lift Stations
 

Targets: Wastewater, Sewage Pumping Stations

 

Background: 

Lift stations are an essential component of many municipal sewer systems. The main collection pipe transfers the wastewater to the lift stations by gravity. The pump/lift stations contain the grinders, pumps and valves needed to move sewage from a low to a high elevation. They are part of the sewer collection system prior to a wastewater treatment plant. A single municipality may have dozens of pumping stations under their jurisdiction.

 

Key personnel:

• Purchasing Manager
• Engineer
• Maintenance Manager
• Operations Manager

 

Goal: 

1. Replace the competitor's grinder - JWC®* models or similar design
    
2. Provide a better solution than Grinder Pumps – our standpoint is that you can only do one or the other reliably and efficiently, grind or pump, but not both.

Current Solution:

JWC Muffin Monster® Twin-Shaft Grinder*

Also: Grinder/Chopper Pumps and Screens

 

Advantages of the Current Solution:

• During normal operation, the unit provides the required grinding of the solids in the wastewater stream for pumping

 

What's wrong with the Current Solution:
 

Competitors' Twin-shaft Grinder:

• Maintenance is very high due to increased wear of the unit
• Individual blades and spacers will wear and separate over time
• During high volume, high solids occurrences, the grinder cannot keep up, causing it eventually to plug
• Due to the design of the these grinders, replacing the cutter stack and seals is very time-intensive and expensive

 

Grinder or Chopper Pumps:

• These pumps will struggle with larger solids and influxes of rags, wipes, and stringy material
• They do not match the particle size of twin-shaft grinders
• Service on grinder pumps is much more involved and time consuming when compared to twin-shaft grinders that can be easily pulled and serviced on-site
• In trying to both pump and grind in the same unit, these units tend to sacrifice efficiency 

 

Vogelsang Solution:  Vogelsang XRC Series Twin-Shaft Grinder
