CDD Channel Monster™ in wastewater pump station
Keep wipes at bay
The pump station in Billerica, Massachusetts, installed a CDD Channel Monster™ with Wipes Ready® technology to protect its equipment from undue stress, damage and unscheduled maintenance.
The challenge
- Increasing number of rags and wipes caused undue stress and damage to pumps
- The problem aggravated during periods of heavy rain
- During storm events, the system had to be closed down and the pumps cleared as often as three times per day
The project
- A CDD Channel Monster was installed in 2011
- In 2014, the grinder was upgraded with the Wipes Ready technology
The Wipes Ready upgrades made a huge difference. We’ve already gone two months without even pulling the pumps and they’re running much more effectively.

The solution
We delivered a CDD Channel Monster, which was later upgraded with the Wipes Ready technology that effectively shreds all tough solids
- The traditional coil bar drums were replaced with rotating screening drums
- The cutters were upgraded to the new 17-tooth serrated cutters, which shred the wipes in two directions
Customer benefits
- The need for daily pump maintenance has been eliminated
- No need to manually remove the clogs and ragballs from the equipment
