Headworks are the front door of a wastewater treatment plant. Everything that comes down the sewer arrives here — rags, plastics, sanitary products, you name it. A chopper pump at this stage saves the rest of the plant from clogging.
Why Headworks Need Cutting
Bar screens catch large objects, but smaller rags and fibers slip through. They accumulate in downstream pumps and pipes. Installing a WQK40-15QG chopper pump at the headworks shreds these materials before they cause trouble.

Installation Location
Place the pump in the influent channel or wet well before the primary treatment stage. Use guide rails for easy removal. Set the cutter gap at 0.3 mm for optimal performance with mixed municipal waste.
Operator Feedback
“We installed a WQK40-15QG at our headworks two years ago. Screen cleaning frequency dropped by half.” — Plant operator, 10,000 m³/day facility
Applications Summary:
