Abstract
A macerator including two stacks of contra-rotating interleaved cutter discs having teeth is provided with two side rails closely adjacent to the periphery of the stacks of cutters. Each side rail has a plurality of angled ribs with slots therebetween. The ribs and slots are angled at an acute angle to the planes of the cutters so that each rib is passed by two or more cutters thereby to ensure maceration of any solids passing with the liquid in the slots.
