The Sulzer ABS Piranha 09 Submersible Grinder Pump with shredding action provides a reliable and economical discharge of domestic effluent under pressure. Used in high pressure sewage systems, they offer an economical alternative where the terrain doesn’t permit the use of gravity sewers.
Piranha 09 grinder pumps have proven themselves to be good performers, with excellent total life-cycle costs from initial purchase through ongoing operation.
Sulzer ABS Piranha pumps provide a means of effective and economical wastewater transport utilising small-diameter discharge pipes as opposed to larger diameter pipes required for gravity systems.
The ABS Piranha 09 is one of Sulzer’s standard range of submersible grinder pumps, these pumps are equipped with water-tight, fully encapsulated, flood-proof motors. The pump and motor section form a compact unit, providing an economical, yet robust solution without compromising on the reliable design.

The Piranha cutter system features a completely different concept in grinder pump design, The design consists of a lobed rotor cutting element attached to a centrifugal impeller working in tandem with a stationary cutting element fastened to a spiral-grooved bottom plate.
The lobed rotor turns inside the stationary cutter designed with wave-shaped castellations. The number of waves is one less than the number of lobes on the rotor. This causes an opening to be formed between the rotor and stationary cutter.
The normal pumping action of the impeller causes water and solids to flow into the cutting elements and as the solids are sheared into small particles, they are pumped by the impeller into the discharge pipe. Should any of the finely cut particles try to wedge between the impeller and bottom plate, the outward threaded spiral grooves will move them to the discharge.
