UNIFORM PARTICLE SIZE FOR STABLE PROCESSES
The twin-shaft grinder reduces heterogeneous food waste to a consistent particle size. This ensures reliable pumpability, prevents blockages, and always maintains full process control.
REDUCED OPERATING COSTS AT HIGH THROUGHPUT
The system operates at high torque and low speed, minimizing energy consumption and mechanical wear for sustainably lower operating costs. At the same time, the reduced waste volume lowers storage and transportation costs and decreases CO₂ emissions, while ensuring the material is optimally conditioned for downstream processes such as offsite transport or energy recovery.
OPTIMIZED MATERIAL INTAKE WITH SNAIL GEOMETRY
The specially designed snail geometry of the cutting tools ensures continuous and controlled material intake. Even bulky or fibrous waste is reliably processed, preventing bridging and maintaining stable material flow.
ROBUST STAINLESS-STEEL CONSTRUCTION
Cutting tools and shafts made from martensitic stainless steel offer high wear resistance and excellent corrosion protection. This ensures long service life, even when handling abrasive or fibrous media.
INTEGRATED CONVEYING WITH PROGRESSIVE CAVITY PUMP
The progressive cavity pump is precisely matched to the grinder and enables continuous, low-pulsation material transport. This ensures a stable flow, even with high solids content.
COMPACT AND MODULAR DESIGN
The compact, space-saving design allows straightforward integration into existing production and waste handling systems. Its modular configuration provides flexibility for a wide range of applications and plant layouts.
CLOSED SYSTEM FOR CLEAN OPERATIONS
The closed system design minimizes odor emissions and supports a clean working environment. Open conveying paths and manual handling are significantly reduced.
SHREDDING AND CONVEYING OF FOOD WASTE – RELIABLE, EFFICIENT, AND PROCESS-STABLE
In food production, heterogeneous waste streams such as fruit and vegetable peels, meat or fish residues, dough scraps, and frozen products pose significant operational challenges. These materials can cause blockages, disrupt conveying systems, and lead to pump failures, resulting in downtime, increased maintenance requirements, and higher operating costs.
SEEPEX FlowShred provides an efficient and reliable solution. The system converts a wide range of food waste into a uniformly shredded, pumpable medium. Its precise coordinated combination of twin-shaft grinder and progressive cavity pump ensures continuous material intake, consistent size reduction, and stable conveying. This results in improved process reliability, reduced energy consumption, and more cost-efficient operation.
