Record 2 2000-05-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Equipment and Tools (Water Supply)
  • Wastewater Treatment
  • Sewers and Drainage
CONT

A shredder or comminutor cuts solids in the waste water passing through the device to about one-quarter inch size. They are installed directly in a flow channel and are provided with a by-pass so that the section containing the shredder can be isolated and drained for machine maintenance.

OBS

"Comminutor" is usually used to name a specific type of shredding device and is a registered trade name. However it is also often used in a broader sense to mean all types of shredders and thus may be considered a synonym of shredder.

CONT

The Barminutor, combination screening and comminuting machine, has a high-speed rotating cutter that travels up and down on the front of the bar screen.

OBS

"Comminuting machine" is not truly a terminological unit. Rather it is an expression which explains the function of the machine.

OBS

"communitor": although used in some sources (p. ex. Internet), the right spelling is "comminutor" and not "communitor".
