 1.1 Design Criteria
The comminutor shall be designed to handle the flows indicated below, within the head loss noted.

      a)   hydraulic capacity 130 GPM (8.2 l/s)
b)   satisfactory operation shall occur under conditions of zero flow
c)   head loss at peak flow shall not exceed 8 inches (200)
d)   design shall be such that the flow enters the size reduction and screening device horizontally and
      exists vertically downward to facilitate the flushing of solids

1.2 Rotating Drum Screen
a)   heavy-duty Cast Ductile Iron ASTM 536, grade 60-45-18

1.3 Cutting Elements
a)   replaceable shear bars constructed of high-quality A2 tool-steel shall be attached to the rotating

      enclosed non-vented type suitable for total submergence during emergencies
b)   double seals on the output shaft shall ensure flood-proof operation through a reduction ratio of 35:1
c)   the cycloidal reducer shall be capable of withstanding shock loads to 500% of its mechanical rating
      of 4.27 Hp. and be warranted for two (2) years
d)   the drive shall have a minimum full load efficiency of 90% and be pre-lubricated with grease,
      requiring routing maintenance every 500 to 1,000 hours
