Sludge Grinder

Sludge Grinder

Sludge Grinder

(OP)
Hello Folks,

Has anyone spec a sludge (100% settled activated sludge) grinder with limits on the noise and vibration?

Thanks

RE: Sludge Grinder

Grinders should be low speed, high torque gear driven so noise and vibration should not be big issues, especially if mounted on a concrete pad. What is your concern?

RE: Sludge Grinder

(OP)
The request to include limits on the noise and the vibration came from one of manufacturer's represetative's. When asked for a range  I didn't get any. The WWTP is at a remote location with no buldings close by. I don't think the noise is that critical and the units will be installed on a concrete pad. What is the typical low speed RPM?
