Double-Reamer Cutting System

Before pumping, HunGerät cutter pumps shred diapers, wipes, plastic bags, cloth, ropes, paper goods, and other fibrous solids very well with their double-reamer cutting mechanism. The heavy-duty cutting system comes in models ranging from 0.75 kW to 110 kW. It helps keep your pumping system going smoothly, prevents clogs, and improves the flow of wastewater.

Double-Reamer Cutting System
High-Flow Cutting Impeller

High-Flow Cutting Impeller

Our high-flow cutting impeller and a fixed cutter plate work together to keep the solid particle size smaller while the machine is running. You can move wastewater more quickly through pressure sewer systems, lift stations, and industrial drainage networks with this design because it has good hydraulic performance and solids handling. 

100% Copper Motor Winding

High-purity copper windings are built into every HunGerät cutter pump to keep the power output stable, lower the working temperatures, and make the energy use more efficient. The motor is reliable enough for demanding wastewater uses because it is made to work continuously. 

100% Copper Motor Winding
Cold-Rolled Silicon Steel Stator

Cold-Rolled Silicon Steel Stator

Our pumps use luxury cold-rolled silicon steel laminations that cut down on magnetic losses and improve electrical performance so that the motor works as efficiently as possible. The improved design of the stator helps you use less energy while keeping the system stable over time.

Dual Mechanical Seal System

Our dual mechanical seal method keeps wastewater from getting into the motor chamber. This protects against leaks better and makes the seal last longer. This extra protection helps cut down on upkeep needs and gives you more confidence when submerged sewage pumping is needed.

Cutter Pump Application Areas

Basement Sewage Systems
Basement Sewage Systems

When sinks in bathrooms, laundry rooms, or utility rooms are put in below the main sewer line, garbage can’t just flow out by gravity. Before being pumped through small-diameter pipes to the city sewer system, a cutter pump breaks down solids and fibrous garbage.

Municipal Lift Stations
Municipal Lift Stations

Wipes, cloth, paper goods, and other things that can get stuck in standard pumps are often found in municipal wastewater. Cutter pumps break up solid materials into smaller pieces, which helps lift stations keep the flow going and cuts down on repair needs. 

Commercial Buildings
Commercial Buildings

Every day, a lot of garbage is made by hotels, restaurants, office buildings, and shopping malls. Cutter pumps help move water that has paper waste and organic solids in it while lowering the chance that pipes will get clogged and service will be interrupted. 

Livestock Farms
Livestock Farms

Straw, feed residue, manure, and other fibrous products are often found in animal waste systems. Cutter pumps break down these solids before they move them, which makes them good for moving manure, collecting wastewater, and draining farms. 

Industrial Wastewater Systems
Industrial Wastewater Systems

Wastewater from factories and processing plants often has solids, fibers, sludge, and industrial waste in it. Cutting-edge cutter pumps reliably break down solids and move wastewater, which helps the drainage system keep running smoothly. 

Wastewater Treatment Facilities

Why Choose HunGerat

Need a Cutter Pump Built for Your Application?

It’s not always possible to use standard cutter pumps in sewer systems. In some situations, there are long lengths to discharge, high heads, narrow pipelines, rough solids, or extremely high amounts of fibrous waste. Picking the wrong pump can cause it to work less well, wear out faster, and cost more in repairs than it should. 

We can change the cutter pumps to fit the way you use them. Our engineering team can set up the motor, cutting system, impeller, materials, and discharge connections to fit your project based on your flow rate, head needs, solids properties, power source, and installation environment. Just send us your technical needs or project details, and we’ll help you choose or create a cutter pump option that will work well for a long time.

What is the difference between a cutter pump and a grinder pump?

Before pumping, cutting blades in a cutter pump break up solids, while grinding blades in a grinder pump break up trash into smaller pieces. When dealing with wastewater that has coarse materials and soft solids, cutter pumps are often the best choice. 

Can a cutter pump handle wet wipes?

Yes. If you build your cutter pump right, it can cut and move things like wet wipes, tissues, and other flexible things that tend to get stuck in regular sewage pumps. 

Can a cutter pump pump sludge?

A lot of cutting pumps can handle light to medium sludge that has fibers and solids in it. The appropriateness is based on the particle size, viscosity, and concentration of the sludge. 

What size solids can a cutter pump process?

The exact size depends on the type of cutter and pump used. Before they pump, most cutting pumps are made to break up bigger solids into smaller pieces. 

Is a cutter pump better than a standard sewage pump?

When dealing with garbage that has rags, wipes, fibers, or other stringy materials in it, a cutter pump usually works better and doesn’t get clogged as easily. 

What pipe size is recommended for a cutter pump?

The suggested pipe size is based on the flow rate of the pump, the link for the discharge, and the distance of the pumping. If the pipe is too small, it can cause more friction loss and poorer performance. If the pipe is too big, it can slow down the flow. Depending on the job, most cutter pumps come with discharge lines that are between 2 and 6 inches long. 

Can a cutter pump be installed in a lift station?

Yes. In sewer lift stations, cutter pumps are often used to remove solids and protect the pipes further downstream. 

Are cutter pumps suitable for long-distance pumping?

Yes. Cutter pumps make it easier for wastewater to move through long pipes and force mains by breaking up solids into smaller pieces. 

What motor power is required for a cutter pump?

The flow rate, head, solids content, and working conditions all affect the size of the motor. Common choices include small units for homes and large, powerful ones for businesses. 

What happens if a cutter pump is oversized?

A cutter pump that is too big may use more energy than it needs to, and can make smaller sewer systems cycle too much. In some cases, the wrong size can also make the whole system less effective. Choosing a pump based on the real flow and head needs helps make sure that it works well and doesn’t cost too much. 

Can cutter pumps run continuously?

Many industrial cutter pumps are made to work nonstop, as long as they are installed and sized properly. 

What materials are used in cutter pumps?

Depending on the need, common materials include cast iron, ductile iron, stainless steel, and alloys that don’t break down easily. 

Are stainless steel cutter pumps available?

Yes. Cutter pumps made of stainless steel are often used in places where chemicals can rust, like food processing plants, marine settings, and chemical wastewater systems. 

What is the typical discharge size of a cutter pump?

Different models and uses have different discharge sizes, but for industrial systems, they are usually between 2 and 6 inches or even bigger. 

Can cutter pumps handle wastewater with hair and fibers?

Yes. Cutter pumps are made to handle hair, fibers, fabric pieces, and other things that can get wrapped around the impellers of regular pumps. 

How often should cutter blades be replaced?

How often they need to be replaced depends on how many hours they are used, the type of trash, and how abrasive it is. Regular checks help cut as efficiently as possible. 

Do cutter pumps require special maintenance?

Checking cutter wear, seals, bearings, oil chambers, and electrical parts as directed by the maker is generally part of routine maintenance. 

What causes cutter pump blade wear?

Over time, abrasive bits like sand, grit, stones, and mineral solids can make cutter wear happen faster. 

Can a cutter pump be used with a septic system?

Yes. Cutter pumps are often used in septic systems to break down solids before moving the wastewater to another area. 

Are cutter pumps energy efficient?

Modern cutter pumps are made to balance how well they cut with how well they use hydraulics, which helps keep total costs down. 

What voltage options are available for cutter pumps?

Voltages like 110V, 220V, 380V, 415V, 460V, and others that are made to fit different markets are common choices. 

Can cutter pumps be customized?

Yes. The power source, materials, cable length, discharge connections, control systems, and branding needs can all be changed by the manufacturer. 

Can a cutter pump be used outdoors?

Yes. It is common for cutter pumps to be used outside for wastewater collection in places like lift stations, septic systems, farms, and city sewage networks. But electrical connections, control panels, and wires should be kept out of the weather so that the system works safely and reliably. 

What is the lifespan of a cutter pump?

Under regular conditions, a good cutter pump should last between 8 and 15 years. With proper installation and regular maintenance, service life can often last longer than 10 years in residential and light business settings. If an industrial or municipal wastewater system is used all the time, its real lifespan relies on things like the amount of solids in the system, how often it is used, and how well it is maintained. 

Can cutter pumps be used for high-head applications?

Yes. Some types of cutter pumps are made to work with high-head wastewater transfer and pressure sewer lines in particular. 

How to Choose the Right Cutter Pump

First, look at four important factors: the flow rate, the pumping head, the solids that will be used, and the installation surroundings. If your wastewater has a lot of wipes, cloth, or other fibrous materials in it, you should choose a heavy-duty cutter pump with a more active cutting system. A high-head model is best for long discharge lengths or pressure sewer networks. Wear-resistant materials should be considered if the wastewater has rough bits like sand or grit in it. Choosing the right pump for the job can boost performance, lower costs, and increase the life of the equipment.
