Industrial grinding reinvented

PCM X-Guard

 

The PCM X-Guard is an innovative industrial grinder designed to shred solid-borne waste carried by fluids before it damages your process equipment. It reduces the size of solids contained in wastewater or other fluids to fine particles, thus ensuring optimal protection of downstream equipment and increased performance of treatment processes.

  • Reduces solids down to 5–6 mm thanks to heat-treated steel knives, high torque at low speed, and optimized cutting frequency.
  • Designed for minimal pressure drop (<0.5 bar), ensuring stable and efficient hydraulic performance.
  • Features side inspection hatches, reversible and replaceable knives, and multiple motor and flange options.

Cutting Performance for Industrial Applications

High cutting performance

The PCM X-Guard industrial grinder offers high cutting performance thanks to its reduced solids of 5-6 mm, high torque at low speeds, and heat-treated steel knives. The four knives increase the frequency of grinding, making the process more efficient and reducing the amount of unground particles in the fluid.

Low impact on hydraulics

The PCM X-Guard industrial grinder is designed to have a low impact on hydraulics with pressure drops of less than 0.5 bar. This ensures stable and efficient hydraulic performance, while protecting downstream equipment. 

Wide choice of motors and flanges

The PCM X-Guard industrial grinder offers a wide choice of motorization and flanges, with a bearing and elastic coupling mounting, as well as four available powers. It is also adaptable to various piping configurations thanks to the variety of flanges available.

Easy Maintenance and Long-Term Reliability

Rugged construction

The PCM X-Guard industrial grinder is built with a heavy-duty rotor that ensures reliable and long-lasting performance. The mill technology allows for efficient handling of fluids with high solids and ensures a long service life for the equipment.
