Abstract:
A shredding assembly for a grinder pump includes a stationary shredding ring mounted to an inlet of the pump, and a cutting device rotatable about an axial direction and fixed to a shaft of the pump. The shredding ring includes a top face, a bottom face, and a central opening extending from the top face to the bottom face and delimited in a radial direction by an inner periphery. Slots extending in the axial direction are formed in the inner periphery. The cutting device is positioned in the central opening of the shredding ring, and includes a front face and a back face. The front face includes a plurality of first cutting members extending in the axial direction and facing the slots. The back face includes a second cutting member projecting beyond the central opening with respect to the radial direction.
