DERAGGER+ Deals With Rags and Wipes Without Grinding or Chopping
Among the problems created by the proliferation of wipes is the unpleasant, time-consuming and costly job of periodically pulling rags from pumps.
Many clean-water plants have tackled the problem by installing choppers or grinders that macerate the wipes into particles that pumps can easily pass.
