Grinder Pumps
High-performance grinder pump solutions designed to handle tough waste in domestic and commercial applications. Supplied, installed, serviced and repaired by experienced pump engineers.
Reliable Grinder Pumps For Challenging Wastewater Applications
Grinder pumps are designed to handle difficult wastewater applications where blockages, long discharge runs or elevation changes are present.
They incorporate cutting blades that macerate raw sewage into a fine slurry before pumping it through a pressurised discharge line.
At Alton Pumps, we supply, install, service and repair grinder pumps for domestic, commercial and light industrial systems.
Correct grinder pump specification is critical to maintaining reliability, preventing blockages and protecting downstream pipework.
Grinding
Waste
For Pressurised Discharge
Grinder pumps are commonly used where buildings sit below the level of the main sewer or where insufficient gradient exists for gravity flow.
They are also specified where wastewater must be pumped long distances or vertically with consistent pressure.
Our engineers assess discharge distance, vertical lift, usage demand and waste type to ensure the correct grinder pump is installed.
