Abs piranha 09 macerator submersible pump (single phase)
Abs piranha 09 macerator submersible pump (single phase)
(OP)
Has anybody used this pump before? We are using one of these in a small tank for mixing and chopping up a grass like material.
The pump keeps blocking up with the chopped material, I would like to replace it with another macerator / chopper pump. Is there any pumps that would be suited to this application better? Approximate flow rate is 15m^3 an hour with a few meters head. I guess I am looking for a recommendation for a good non clogging smallish chopper pump.
Regards

It is a capital mistake to theorise before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. (Sherlock Holmes - A Scandal in Bohemia.)

The tank is part of a bigger system, the paunch / water is added to the tank by weight ratio using an automated collection chute and a pressure transducer within the tank. Thus although not exact the ratio is maintained approximately. We also take samples when we are there and perform a total solids analysis on it back at the lab. I was just after an opinion on what was the best chopping/macerator submersible single phase ~15A pump on the market was.
Sorry for the lack of detail prior the system

You have asked for an alternative. We have found the Homa Barracuda to be very good. It has a larger discharge port than the ABS you are using which may also help.
