Abstract: The present invention is a pump (100) used for applications where a solid (130) is present in wastewater and other liquids that requires cutting and reduction in size so as to pass the solid (130) through the inlet (105) to the outlet (106) of the pump (100). The pump (100) has a pump casing (104) with an inlet (105) and an outlet (106) formed therein. A drive unit (170) rotates a drive shaft (113) extending axially through the pump casing (104) to an impeller (109) and a cutter bar (102). The pump (100) is further configured with a radial cutter ring assembly (101) positioned adjacent the cutter bar (102) and the inlet (105) providing a shredding cutting action (140) of solids (145) between the rotating cutter bar (102) sliding past a radial cutter ring assembly (101) held stationary, e.g. cutting blades (160) formed in an edge (118) of the cutter bar (102) rotate across an internal surface (121) of the radial cutter ring assembly (101).
