The robust wastewater grinder

Reliable protection against clogging and blockages! The powerful and robust XRipper® series twin-shaft shredder by Vogelsang Twin-shaft shredder by Vogelsang, based on monolithic Ripper rotors, reliably reduces entangled materials in digesters and sewers, as well as fibrous disruptive matter, textiles, sanitary items and other rubbish in wastewater, thereby protecting downstream equipment from clogging and malfunctions. It’s a serious and expensive problem for many municipalities and wastewater treatment organizations: frequent blockages of pipes, pipeline systems and pumping stations caused by wet wipes and other sanitary items and textiles disposed of in the toilet. In conjunction with the (fortunately) lower water consumption, the way products from drugstores are being handled in modern life is leading to considerable difficulties. Entangled materials from digesters are also repeatedly causing malfunctions in plant operations. Both of these issues create additional work and enormous costs for operators of sewage treatment plants and sewer networks. One solution already used worldwide is the XRipper waste- water shredder by Vogelsang. As frequent malfunctions are time-consuming and onerous, investment in this twin- shaft shredder built from premium-quality, highly resistant material, will lead to a fast return on investment; the robust machine has proven time and time again that it can reduce the number of (emergency) maintenance visits required. Many customers have reported a 100 % success rate, with no further clogging issues. Entangled materials from wet wipes and fibers cause clogging and operational disruptions. Speak with our specialists today to find out which XRipper version is best for your needs. Advantages of the XRipper® at a glance • Economical shredding of solid and disruptive matter such as wet wipes, wood, fabric, trash and waste • Efficient protection for pumps and system components from clogging, blockages and damage • Long service life thanks to rugged design • Fast access to all individual parts yet less service and maintenance work • Added reliability thanks to cartridge mechanical seal technology

04 | 05 Monolithic Ripper rotors With its tried-and-tested twin shaft version, the XRipper has proven to be a resilient, economical solution for reducing disruptive matter to a manageable size. In this way it protects downstream components and units from clogging, blockages and damage. The principle The Ripper rotors of the XRipper, with their one-piece construction, are installed so that they intermesh. Whereas water will pass by the XRipper more or less unobstructed, solid and disruptive matter, such as sanitary products, wood, fabric or waste from food production, is detected by the XRipper rotors and shredded to a manageable size. Another important factor is that the Ripper rotors clean themselves due to their different speeds. For greater power and efficiency To attain maximum force transfer from shaft to the cutting elements, the monolithic Ripper rotors are manufactured from a single block of special steel or, optionally, from stainless steel. This leads to hard and precise cutting and thus an optimized cutting effect. Safe, easy to maintain and cost-efficient The monolithic design of the Ripper rotors not only ensures particularly thorough shredding and fault-free flow of the treated wastewater, but it also has a positive effect on economic efficiency when it comes to maintenance of the shredder. This is due because, rather than lots of individual cutting rings and spacers, only the one piece rippers, need to be replaced. This simplifies assembly to save time and ensures greater safety. All other service and maintenance work, such as the replacement of seals, can be performed on-site quickly. Here too, fully preinstalled cartridge mechanical seals are used, which can be replaced in their entirety, increasing the XRipper’s already high level of availability even further.

The monolithic one-piece Ripper rotors are extremely rigid and especially easy to maintain Pass every ripping test The one-piece Ripper rotors of the XRipper® series offer outstanding shredding performance Unique design Due to the great forces generated in the particularly challen- ging shredding processes used in sewers and wastewater treatment plants, robust machine design and construction is a high priority. For this reason, high-precision CNC machines are used to manufacture each of the one-piece Ripper rotors by Vogelsang from a single block of special steel. The unique design has a high-strength core, especially narrow gaps and hardened, durable cutting edges. Even without the carrier shafts which usually run through the entire unit, the drive output is transferred evenly along the entire length of the monolithic rotors. Intermediate bearings are not necessary thanks to the high bending stiffness. Moreover, the most advanced production methods also ensure minimum tolerances, so highly effi cient shredding can also be guaranteed over the long term. Another advantage of this unique design – easy part replace- ment! Instead of exchanging many individual disks and spacers on the carrier shafts, only the one-piece Ripper rotors need to be replaced. Due to the symmetrical design, they can also be rotated 180 degrees. In addition, on the XRP, XRC and XRG models, the entire functional unit – which consists of the motor, gearbox, Ripper rotors and counter bearings – can simply be lifted out of the housing in one piece. The housing remains in place while all of the parts that are important for service and maintenance are easy to access.

06 | 07 XRipper - XRS model – XRP model A tried and tested all-rounder with many qualities The unrivaled, easy-to-maintain and highly adaptable XRipper® XRS for demand- optimized installation The combination of powerful shredding, easy-to-maintain design and long service life has made the XRipper XRS a reliable fixture in industry, production plants and sewage treatment plants. It reliably shreds entangled materials in sewage treatment plants: sanitary items, textiles and clothing in the wastewater of mixed sewers as well as bones, fruit, vegetables and food remnants in industrial and commercial applications. Versatile and adaptable The XRipper XRS owes its versatility among potential applications to the many options and material alternatives that can be incorporated in its construction. For instance, the housing can be made from cast iron, steel or stainless steel, while shredder rotors are available in specialized steel or stainless steel. Optional connector boxes separate heavy material upstream from the XRipper XRS. Drive power is provided by geared motors or parallel shaft geared motors, connected to the XRipper either directly or via a coupling. Durable and time-saving Regardless of the version selected, with an XRipper XRS, you can rely on reliable solids reduction and efficient protection from disruptive matter while enjoying maximum ease of maintenance. Thanks to the QuickService design typical of Vogelsang products, the shredder tools can be easily accessed with just a few hand motions. All mainte- nance work and the replacement of all wearing parts can be accomplished rapidly and with ease – with no need to disassemble the XRipper XRS from the pipe. Advantages of the XRipper® XRS • Easy to maintain thanks to the QuickService design • Versatile thanks to comprehensive range of features and options • Economical processing of solids and reliable protection from disruptive matter

Easy to maintain compact miracle for demanding applications The space-saving XRipper® XRP for full-size performance in the smallest of spaces Pumping stations and collection shafts are not large working spaces. Space everywhere is at a premium, maintenance teams have hardly any room to maneuver and there isn’t much air left for the installation of additional machines for wastewater pretreatment. The XRipper XRP delivers reliable protection from clogging with minimal space requirement: a twin- shaft shredder with the motor arranged vertically above the grinder and extremely low space require- ment from flange to flange. Furthermore, the inline arrangement where inlet and outlet are directly opposite one another facilitates retrofit installation. Slimmed-down design and maintenance Like all XRippers, the wastewater mostly flows unhin- dered through the generously dimensioned, specially designed housing of the XRP while wet wipes, textiles, waste and entangled materials are systematically reduced to a manageable size by the Ripper rotors. Here as well, the practical design concept allows quick and easy maintenance and part replacement: The complete functional unit – drive motor, gearbox, shafts and Ripper rotors – can be lifted up and out of the XRP, thanks to its vertical design. Efficient protection with low power requirements The XRipper XRP requires very little drive power to reliably protect the downstream components. At low speed, high torque is available for shredding disruptive matter. The Ripper rotors reliably shred virtually all disruptive matter. Directly coupled parallel shaft geared motors designed to IP55 provide the drive power. Optionally, in the case of submersed operation, submersible motors can be used. Advantages of the XRipper® XRP • Vertical, space-saving “inline” installation in the tightest of spaces • Efficient and reliable protection thanks to high torque • Easy to maintain thanks to straightforward access to the functional unit

08 | 09 XRipper XRS and XRP – Overview The right twin-shaft grinder for every application site XRS100 The compact model Max. throughput volume: 50 m3 / h* XRP100 The economical and compact mode Max. throughput volume: 85 m3 / h* XRipper® XRS The versatile, easy-maintenance series The XRipper XRS is the cost-effective solution for reducing solids and impurities in municipal or commercial waste- water to a size, which is no longer problematic.

10 | 11 XRipper – XRC-SIK model – XRG model Movable, narrow unit keeps everything flowing The high-throughput XRipper® XRC-SIK for open sewage channels, inflow and supply flow structures Installing shredders directly in the closed pipeline of a wastewater system is one option. Another effective measure to protect against disruptions is to install a shredder in open sewage channels, or inflow or supply flow structures of pump sumps and collection shafts. Because of its position, the shredder should be as free as possible from interruptions and have a low- maintenance requirement – challenges that the robust and flow-optimized XRipper XRC-SIK successfully meets. Its design with bearings on both sides ensures inter- ruption-free shredding, even with the most coarse disruptive matter (such as cleaning rags, wood, garbage, clothes or sanitary items), while the wastewater flows largely unimpeded through the large housing. This ensures that wastewater drains off reliably without causing blockages, clogging or damage to downstream pumps and fittings. Runs on rails To simplify installation and maintenance, the XRipper XRC-SIK is mounted on a Sewer Integration Kit (SIK) before leaving the factory. This system of rails is used to position the XRipper directly in the sewer or in front of its inlet or outlet. When maintenance is required, the response team simply pulls the shredder out of the sewer via the rail system, using a crane. The SIK is also designed to allow simple installation against slanted or round walls. Like all XRippers, replacement of the monolithic Ripper rotors and seals is performed rapidly: On the XRC-SIK as well, simply remove the cover for free access to all components, with no need to disassemble the drive beforehand. Application-specific and energy-efficient drive The parallel shaft geared motor with IP55 protection rating is just as compact as the shredder itself. Floodable or flooded submersible motors are available for the XRC-SIK. Low speeds and high torque give the Ripper rotors outstanding force at relatively low drive power. Advantages of the XRipper® XRC-SIK • Extremely compact design • Simple removal and positioning with the Sewer Integration Kit (SIK) • No need for fastening hardware or work

Powerful giant The XRipper® XRG for maximum fl ow rates High fl ow rates, such as those occurring in large sewers and infl ows of sewage treatment plants, can only be mastered with appropriately large yet effi cient shredders. This is the only way to reliably catch and grind all disruptive matter contained in the waste- water, in order to reliably protect downstream systems from clogging and blockages. The principle The XRipper XRG was developed specifi cally for these applications. The sieve drums of the High Capacity Units arranged laterally in the housing permit large quantities of (waste)water to pass by unhindered, while catching and holding back the disruptive matter and waste. This is continuously fed into the Ripper rotors by the separately driven, slow-rotating yet powerful High Capacity Units, where it is shredded to a manageable size. Individual drives for each function The Ripper rotors and High Capacity Units of the XRipper XRG are driven independently of one another. This allows optimal adaptation to their respective tasks, with no need for extra power transmission components. This also simplifi es removal of the functional unit – removal of a couple of screws on the housing is all that is required. Simultaneously, each drive can be individually monitored. The corrective measures to be taken in the event of an interruption are specifi cally oriented to that part of the shredder, while the rest of the machine continues to do its job. Advantages of the XRipper® XRG • Monolithic one-piece Ripper rotors • High fl ow rates • Reliable separation and shredding of disruptive matter • On-site service and maintenance

12 | 13 XRipper XRC-SIK and XRG – Overview The right twin-shaft grinder for every application site XRipper® XRC-SIK The user-friendly variant for open channels and shafts The XRC is the optimum choice for installation in open sewage channels or for mounting in infl ow or supply fl ow structures in shafts and trenches. With the fl exible Sewer Integration Kit (SIK) rail system, it can be easily positioned in open channels or against slanted or even rounded walls directly in front of the inlet or outlet. For maintenance and service, the SIK is used to lift the entire shredder out of the channel, shaft or pit. • Easy positioning and removal with the SIK • Suitable for large throughput volumes, e. g., in sewage channels and in infl ow or supply fl ow structures XRC100 The extra narrow model Max. throughput volume: 690 m3 / h* XRipper® XRG The giant model for maximum ﬂ ow rates The XRG provides reliable and highly effi cient protection from solids and impurities in wastewater at extremely high fl ow rates, e. g., in large channels and infl ows for sewage treatment plants.
