  2. WORKED ON GRINDER PUMPS DURING EARLY 1960’S, THE BEGINNING OF THE LOW PRESSURE GRINDER SEWER MARKET, AT THAT TIME THERE WERE ONLY 2 MAJOR COMPANIES MANUFACTURING GRINDER PUMPS DURING THIS TIME PEROID. ONE COMPANY UTILIZED PROGRESSIVE CAVITY DESIGN , THE SECOND COMPANY UTILIZED CONVENTIONAL CENTRIFUGAL DESIGNS
  3. IN THE EARLY 1970’S CO-DEVELLOPED THE SINGLE STAGE CUTTER DESIGN WITH A "VORTEX" CENTRIGUGAL IMPELLER THAT HAS SINCE BEEN IMMITATED BY MOST ALL PRESENT COMPANIES THAT OFFER A GRINDER PUMP ALONG WITH A VORTEX DESIGNED IMPELLER .THE AISIAN PUMP MFG.’S NOW IMMITATE THIS GRINDING CONCEPT.

THIS ALLOWED THE WHOLE INDUSTRY TO START UTILIZING THE VORTEX CENTRIFUGAL CONCEPT WITHOUT HAVING TO PAY A LICENSING FEE,THE REST IS HISTORY.THERE IS A VORTEX UNIT OFFERED IN MOST ALL PUMP COMPANIES PRODUCT LINES TODAY.
  5. IN MID 2004 A REVOLUTIONARY NEW 2 STAGE VORTEX CENTRIFUGAL CONCEPT FOR A GRINDER PUMPS OR SEWAGE PUMPS WAS DEVELLOPED AND PATENTED BY OUR CHIEF ENGINEER.THE GRINDER PUMP UTILIZING 2 STAGE DESIGN HAS ALLOWED ENGINEERS TO EXPAND THEIR DESIGNS FOR THE LOW PRESSURE SEWER PROJECTS, ALLOWING HIGHER DISCHARGE HEADS THAT EXCEED PRESENT DAY DESIGNS OF THE PROGRESSIVE CAVITY UNITS,BUT MORE IMPORTANT THE 2 STAGE CENTRIFUGAL DESIGN OFFERS HIGHER SCRUBBING VELOCITIES,SO NECESSARY FOR EFFICIENT MOVEMENT OF THE MASSERATED SOLIDS IN THE EFFLUENT WHICH CAUSES FREQUENT LINE CLOGGING,THIS RELATES TO LOWERING OPERATION AND MAINTANENCE COSTS ,WHICH IS SO OVERLOOKED IN PROJECT INITIAL CONCEPT.
