The Flowminutor reduces liquid-borne solids to fine particles. The single, horizontal shaft conical rotor assembly is made up of concentric stainless steel rings, on which hardened steel cutters are mounted. The rotor is driven by a hydraulic motor and a simple chain drive. The scissor action quickly chops even the most stubborn solids. The particles are then whisked away by the self-cleaning action of the liquid flow through the ?-in. spacing of the conical rings.
