HYBRID RADIAL AXIAL CUTTER

摘要

One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for a cutter/grinder system that can be engaged with a pump. The cutter/grinder system can comprise an axial cutting operation and a radial cutting operation, comprising a rotary cutter that has both radial and axial cutting edges. The rotating cutter can be operably engaged with a stationary cutter apparatus, non-movably engaged with a pump, where the stationary cutter apparatus comprises both an axial cutting operation and a radial cutting operation, comprising both radial and axial cutting edges. The system can facilitate reduction of a size of solids that may be entrained in a target fluid.
