Chopper pumps are a type of centrifugal pump designed specifically to handle solids and slurries found in wastewater and sewage applications. They are equipped with a chopping mechanism—usually a set of rotating blades—that reduces the size of solid materials as they enter the pump. This feature allows the pump to efficiently move a mixture of liquids and solids without clogging or damaging the pump components.
