Abstract: The present invention is directed to systems useful in the maceration of material flowing 
through a sewer or a drain. The invention provides a maceration system of part thereof 
comprising: a base comprising or consisting of a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, and macerator 
receiving means disposed between the fluid inlet and fluid outlet, wherein the macerator 
receiving means is configured so as to retain a macerator in an installed position thereby 
allowing the macerator to process material entering the fluid inlet. The macerator receiving 
means may be configured so as to guide a macerator being lowered along a substantially 
vertical line onto the base, and may be a substantially vertical shaft having a cross-sectional 
profile so as accept and retain a macerator. In some embodiments, the macerator receiving 
means comprises a flared upper region configured to guide a macerator toward a region in 
space during installation.
