Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device and a method for shredding kitchen waste and/or leftover food, preferably for homogenizing kitchen waste and/or leftover food.
  • Organic kitchen waste such as preparation and cleaning waste, and leftover food
  • Organic kitchen waste and food leftovers can be used as a raw material for generating renewable energy in biogas reactors and for producing fertilizers. To do this, it is necessary to treat the organic kitchen waste and leftover food so that it can be stored and transported.
  • a device in which kitchen waste and food leftovers to be shredded are placed in a funnel-shaped receptacle, at the bottom of which a grinder for shredding the kitchen waste is arranged, which is downstream of a pump.
  • the kitchen waste and food leftovers are shredded in the grinder and sucked in by means of the pump downstream of the grinder.
  • the suction of the pump creates a suction in the direction of the pump, so that a flow of shredded kitchen waste and food scraps is generated from the grinder in the direction of the pump. Due to the pumping out of the shredded kitchen waste and leftover food, further kitchen waste and leftover food can enter the grinder, so that essentially all of the kitchen waste and leftover food in the receptacle can be gradually shredded and pumped out.
  • a pre-shredding unit protruding into the receptacle in the form of a driver provided with shredding knives is attached to a rotor of the grinder, which moves when the rotor rotates rotates synchronously with this.
  • some of the leftover food and kitchen waste is pre-shredded before it hits the grinder. Due to the volume flow from the grinder towards the pump, uncrushed as well as sticky and fibrous materials get into the grinder and further into the product line connecting the grinder and the pump, which leads to agglomerations of the aforementioned materials and/or blockages in the grinder, the product line and/or or the pump. To avoid this, a more or less large amount of process water is always supplied during operation of the device in order to prevent agglomerations.
  • the AU 2010200304 A1 shows a system for treating organic waste WO 2012/134289 A1 shows a device for shredding and discharging large household waste and/or medical waste, which EP 2962771 A1 shows a method for controlling a kitchen waste shredder WO 2007/086344 A1 shows a waste treatment device that GB1040699 shows a waste disposal device that EP 1136449 A1 shows a wastewater processing system, and the US 8,584,976 B1 and the US 2016/0040413 A1 each show a kitchen waste shredder for a sink.
  • a method for shredding kitchen waste and/or food leftovers comprising the step of loading a funnel for receiving kitchen waste and/or food leftovers, which is attached to a funnel base with a grinder for shredding the Kitchen waste and/or food leftovers are provided and are connected from the grinder via a product line to a pump for pumping out shredded kitchen waste and/or food leftovers kitchen waste and/or food leftovers to be shredded, and the step of pumping out the kitchen waste and/or food leftovers shredded by the grinder using the pump.
  • the kitchen waste and/or food leftovers located in the funnel are pre-shredded by means of a pre-shredding unit projecting into the funnel, with the kitchen waste and/or food leftovers being transformed into a homogenized mass in the funnel (2nd) in the pre-shredding step ) is formed, with the pump (5) only being switched on after the pre-crushing step in order to start pumping out.
  • the activated pre-shredding unit ensures that the kitchen waste and/or leftover food is already cut and/or smashed in the hopper. Since the pre-shredded kitchen waste and food scraps are not pumped out by the switched off pump during pre-shredding, the kitchen waste and/or food scraps initially remain in the hopper and can be further shredded there.
  • the cell structures of this organic waste are already largely shattered in the funnel to such an extent that the water contained in the kitchen waste and leftover food is released in the funnel.
  • Many kitchen waste and food leftovers have a high content of their own water, which is made usable through the pre-shredding step before the kitchen waste and/or food leftovers are shredded in the grinder. This utilization of the water contained in kitchen waste and leftover food reduces the need for externally added process water, which in turn reduces the volume of biomass to be disposed of and thus reduces disposal costs.
  • the kitchen waste and/or food leftovers in the hopper are already homogenized in the hopper. Consequently, a homogenized mass, preferably an aqueous suspension with a preferably porridge-like consistency, which is composed of the pre-shredded kitchen waste and/or leftover food as well as the dissolved out water, is already formed in the hopper by the pre-shredding that precedes the pumping out and therefore the crushing by the grinder .
  • the kitchen waste and/or food scraps pre-shredded in this way make it easier for them to be later shredded by the grinder when they are sucked out of the funnel through the grinder due to the onset of the pumping action of the pump.
  • the kitchen waste and/or leftover food is already shredded in such a way that a mass that can be pumped out is created.
  • the mass resulting from the pre-shredding of the kitchen waste and/or leftover food is sufficiently watery and homogeneous that it essentially covers the bottom of the funnel, at least in the area of the grinder, so tightly that a suction generated by the pump extends in the direction of the pump the funnel area in which the aqueous suspension is present, thus extending into the bottom area of the funnel.
  • the pre-shredded kitchen waste and/or food leftovers or their homogenized suspension are sucked in before the grinder and sucked into the grinder by the resulting stream, so they can be further shredded particularly efficiently.
  • the occurrence of agglomerations in the grinder can be reduced or even completely avoided due to the current that already begins in the funnel.
  • the flow distribution created in the grinder is more uniform.
  • the pre-shredding takes place for a specific period of time before the pump is started.
  • pumping can begin with a manual input or a control command.
  • a maelstrom circulating in the hopper is generated, the pre-shredding unit preferably generating the circulating maelstrom in the hopper by a rotational movement about an axis of rotation of the pre-shredding unit.
  • the kitchen waste and/or food leftovers in the hopper are therefore additionally stirred or mixed by the pre-shredding unit.
  • This creates a maelstrom in the hopper which circulates the material in the hopper preferably in a horizontal and at the same time also in a vertical direction.
  • the kitchen waste and/or food leftovers rotate at different speeds depending on their position in the hopper.
  • the speed decreases, with the particles being slowed down in particular by friction on the hopper walls and among each other.
  • the parts or mass flows moving at different speeds as well as the friction between each other cause the kitchen waste and/or food leftovers to be further shredded in the maelstrom, which further increases the pre-shredding or pre-homogenization of the kitchen waste and/or food leftovers already done in the funnel.
  • a relatively homogeneous biomass is formed in the hopper, with the entire contents of the hopper gradually being moved through the maelstrom and shredded.
  • kitchen waste and food leftovers are preferably crushed so finely that the cell structures of the substances are destroyed, their own water is released and a homogeneous, flowable mass is created.
  • a predetermined amount of process water is introduced into the funnel and/or into the product line before and/or during the pre-shredding, preferably via a nozzle and/or a water inlet arranged in the funnel and/or in the product line.
  • This can increase the homogenization of the pre-shredded kitchen waste and/or leftover food.
  • the water content of the mass resulting from the kitchen waste and/or food leftovers through pre-shredding can be increased or adjusted in order to achieve a consistency that is favorable for subsequent shredding in the grinder and pumping out via the pump.
  • a certain amount of process water is preferably introduced at least into the product line before the start of pre-shredding.
  • the amount is preferably dimensioned such that the product line is completely filled, with the process water filled in preferably reaching up to the upper area of the grinder.
  • this ensures that the pump arranged at the end of the product line can pump fluid directly, and a negative pressure does not have to be generated by displacing air.
  • agglomerations in the grinder and in the product line as well as the pump due to adhesion of powdery, sticky and/or fibrous materials can be avoided.
  • such an amount of process water can be introduced into the product line so that the water level rises above the upper edge of the grinder rotor into the funnel.
  • this method of water supply has the advantage that the materials receive enough process water even in the lowest zone of the funnel to produce a mass with a mushy, pumpable consistency.
  • solid substances that are deposited between the blade ring and the rotor of the grinder and thereby potentially block the start of the processing cycle are washed out.
  • additional process water is introduced into the processing cycle, which slightly increases the water content of the mass produced by pre-shredding based on the pre-shredded kitchen waste and/or food leftovers, but significantly improves process reliability.
  • the water content of the mass located in the funnel or in the product line is preferably measured using a water content sensor, preferably using an inductive measuring method, a microwave resonance method or a photometric method. Alternatively, other methods for determining the water content can also be used. Based on the results of the water content measurement, additional process water can be added accordingly, preferably until a predetermined water content is present, preferably during pre-shredding. Alternatively or additionally, the process sequence, the duration of the individual steps and/or the total cycle time can be set and/or adjusted based on the determined water content.
  • non-organic substances are separated during the pre-shredding, preferably by entangling and/or winding up the non-organic substances at least a projection, preferably a pre-shredding knife, particularly preferably an at least partially blunt-edged pre-shredding knife, of the pre-shredding unit.
  • any pumped-out biomass used to produce biogas is less contaminated with inorganic contaminants.
  • ferromagnetic substances are sorted out of the kitchen waste and/or food leftovers by applying a magnetic force at least in a region of a funnel wall of the funnel, preferably at least during pre-shredding, as provided in a preferred embodiment of the method, these substances can be prevented block the grinder and cause damage to the pre-shredding unit, the grinder and/or the pump.
  • any pumped-out biomass used for biogas production is less contaminated with inorganic contaminants.
  • the rotational movement of the pre-shredding unit creates a flow, i.e. the maelstrom, which moves the relatively heavy ferromagnetic materials, such as cutlery items, essentially due to a centrifugal force in the direction of the funnel wall, on which they are held and fixed by the magnetic force.
  • the separated substances and/or the sorted out substances are removed from the hopper after the crushing and pumping has been completed. This means that the entire funnel volume is available for refilling with kitchen waste and/or leftover food that needs to be shredded.
  • the funnel and/or a lid covering the funnel during operation is pre-cleaned using injected process water.
  • the process water is preferably injected in the last phase of homogenization when the input funnel is already largely emptied, with the process water preferably being supplied via a nozzle directed at the cover of the input station. This means that the process water is sprayed widely over the biomass still in the hopper and the lid and the hopper area are roughly cleaned.
  • the pre-shredding unit and/or the grinder rotate at a speed of 700 to 2800 revolutions per minute, preferably at a speed of 1400 revolutions per minute, with the pre-shredding unit and the grinder preferably rotating synchronously.
  • the speed can preferably be set on a corresponding controller or specified by it.
  • the higher the speed of the rotating grinder and the rotating pre-shredding unit the smaller the particle size created when shredding the kitchen waste and/or food leftovers.
  • the desired particle size of the shredded kitchen waste and food leftovers can be adjusted by controlling the speed. If the particle size is very small, a suspension is formed in which solids and liquid are bound. The resulting mass is then particularly easy to pump and, due to gravity, can flow away in a slightly inclined pipeline in the direction of gravity, which enables the hopper, grinder and/or product line to be almost completely emptied.
  • the speed of the pre-shredding unit and/or the grinder can be varied following a further preferred development and/or the rotation of the pre-shredding unit and/or the grinder can be interrupted and /or the direction of rotation of the pre-shredding unit and/or the grinder can be reversed.
  • the varying of the speed, the interruption of the rotation and/or the reversal of the direction of rotation preferably take place according to a predetermined time sequence, the sequence preferably being controlled/regulated by means of a controller.
  • the method can be at least partially automated, with at least the start of the pre-shredding and/or the termination of the pumping preferably taking place automatically, with a sensor signal preferably indicating the start of the pre-shredding and/or or triggers the start and/or stop of pumping.
  • a sensor is preferably used to determine when the funnel is completely filled or filled to a predetermined value.
  • the level can be determined based on weight, inductively and/or optically. Alternatively, the level can also be measured using other types of sensors that are already known. If the filling of the hopper corresponds to the specified value and/or exceeds it, the sensor emits a corresponding signal, which triggers the start of pre-shredding.
  • a speed and/or a torque and/or a rotational resistance of a drive driving at least the pre-shredding unit are preferably determined at least in sections or intermittently, preferably continuously.
  • a change over time of at least one of the determined values, preferably the change over time in the torque or rotational resistance is compared with a predetermined limit value and/or preset value.
  • the aforementioned temporal change can be used as a measure of the degree of homogenization of the kitchen waste and/or food leftovers, whereby if the temporal change is less than the limit and/or default value and/or lies within a predetermined range, then the change resulting from the pre-shredding
  • the mass is sufficiently homogeneous so that it can be pumped out effectively by the pump and simultaneously crushed in the grinder. This can be used as a trigger signal to start pumping.
  • an empty level of the funnel and/or a liquid level in the product line can be detected, whereby when the empty level is reached and/or the liquid level falls below a predetermined level, an injection or subsequent injection of process water can be triggered or the pumping out can be stopped.
  • the vacancy level can be determined based on weight, inductively and/or optically.
  • a device for shredding kitchen waste and/or food leftovers comprising a funnel for receiving kitchen waste and/or food leftovers, a grinder arranged on a funnel bottom of the funnel for shredding, preferably homogenizing , kitchen waste and/or leftover food and a product line a pump connected to the grinder for pumping out shredded kitchen waste and/or leftover food, with a pre-shredding unit extending from the bottom of the funnel into the interior of the funnel being arranged in the funnel for pre-shredding the kitchen waste and/or food leftovers located in the funnel.
  • a control is provided which is set up to control pre-shredding by means of the pre-shredding unit and then switching on the pump for pumping out shredded kitchen waste and/or food leftovers.
  • Control here is understood to mean a device that enables the behavior of technical systems to be influenced in a directed manner both by specifying a default value and by adapting the default value as a result of a returned comparison signal or measurement signal or measuring element. The control is therefore set up to control and/or regulate the device.
  • a controller which is set up to control pre-shredding by means of the pre-shredding unit and then switching on the pump for pumping out shredded kitchen waste and/or food leftovers, the advantages described with regard to the method can be achieved in an analogous manner.
  • At least one funnel wall preferably all funnel walls, has an inclination of at least 45°, preferably at least 50°, particularly preferably at least 55° and very particularly preferably at least 60° relative to the horizontal.
  • the funnel wall and the direction of gravitational acceleration form an angle of a maximum of 45°, preferably a maximum of 40°, particularly preferably a maximum of 35° and very particularly preferably a maximum of 30°.

  • at least one further nozzle can also be provided at another location in the funnel 2 and/or in a product line described later.
  • the pre-shredding unit 4 is arranged coaxially to the grinder 3, with the axis of rotation 400 of the pre-shredding unit 4 extending coaxially along the axis of rotation 300 of the grinder 3 or both axes of rotation 300, 400 coincide.
  • Figure 2 shows a schematic view of the device 1 in a schematic sectional view.
  • the pre-shredding unit 4 partially, although not completely, extends into the funnel 2 and in particular extends into the volume V formed inside the funnel 2.
  • the volume V is defined here by the volume located between the lid 10, the funnel bottom 22 and the funnel walls 20 of the funnel 2.
  • the depth to which the pre-shredding unit 4 extends into the hopper 2 depends, among other things, on which organic kitchen waste and food leftovers are to be treated. Furthermore, the depth in this embodiment variant depends on how far the pre-shredding knives 46 of the driver 4 are from the funnel wall of the funnel 2. This distance D must be dimensioned so that even larger, light kitchen waste can still slip between the rapidly rotating pre-shredding knives 46 and the wall of the funnel 2, and in particular that a maelstrom, described in more detail later, can be generated in the funnel 2.
  • the grinder 3 arranged on the hopper bottom 22 is connected via a product line 7 to a pump 5 for pumping out the comminuted biomass via a transport line 15 into a tank 6 for receiving the pumped-out biomass.
  • the product line 7 has a water inlet 16 through which process water can be introduced into the product line 7.
  • the side funnel walls 20 have an angle of inclination ⁇ of 60° relative to the horizontal 13. In other words, the funnel wall and the direction of gravitational acceleration 12 form an angle ⁇ of 30°.
  • the high inclination or gradient of the funnel wall 20 makes it possible for the solids and liquids or their suspension located in the funnel 1 to flow or move essentially independently towards the funnel bottom 22 due to gravity.
  • a magnetic element 9 is arranged on the funnel wall 20, by means of which ferromagnetic substances can be sorted out of the kitchen waste and/or food leftovers by applying a magnetic force.
  • a first sensor 81 for detecting an empty level of the funnel 2 and a second sensor 82 for detecting a predetermined start-of-operation filling level in the funnel 2 are arranged on the funnel wall 20.
  • the sensors 81, 82 are optically measuring sensors.
  • the fill level can also be determined via a weight sensor or at least one acceleration sensor, with the fill level being determined based on weight.
  • the controller 8 is set up to receive sensor signals from the first and second sensors 81, 82.
  • the controller 8 is set up to detect a rotational resistance of a drive driving the grinder 3 and the pre-shredding unit 4.
  • a sensor 84 for detecting the rotational resistance is arranged on the grinder 3.
  • a pump 5 is connected to the output of the grinder 3 via a product line 7.
  • the pump 5 is set up to pump out shredded kitchen waste and leftover food into a tank 6 via the transport line 15.
  • the shredded kitchen waste and food leftovers are preferably conveyed a certain distance in the transport line 15 by the pressure of the pump 5.
  • the shredded kitchen waste and leftover food then flow further into tank 6 due to gravity.
  • FIG. 3 shows the grinder 3 in a schematic perspective view.
  • the grinder 3 comprises a rotor 30, which rotates about an axis of rotation 300 and is driven by a drive 32 in the form of an electric motor, to the motor shaft of which the rotor 30 is correspondingly connected.
  • the drive 32 is advantageously provided with a strong brake, which immediately stops the cover 10 when the drive 3 is in operation.
  • the rotor 30 includes differently shaped drivers 34, which can carry the organic kitchen waste and food leftovers to be shredded and set them in rotation accordingly.
  • a knife ring 36 is provided, which surrounds the rotor 30 and which serves as a stator.
  • the organic kitchen waste and food leftovers set into a rotational movement by the rotor 30 are accordingly pressed against the knife ring 36 by centrifugal forces and guided along it in such a way that comminution takes place in the corresponding spaces between the knives.
  • the drivers 34 in turn move along the knife ring 36, so that organic kitchen waste and food scraps extending through the spaces between the knives 36 can be sheared off by the driver 34.
  • Other versions of the grinder 3 are also conceivable.
  • the sensor 84 detects the speed, the torque and the rotational resistance of the drive 32.
  • FIG 4 a perspective side view of a detail of the rotor 30 of the grinder 3 can be seen schematically.
  • the rotor 30 has on its underside 37 a plurality of pump elements in the form of webs 38 extending downwards from the underside 37, which are set up to introduce a movement impulse to a mass located below the grinder 3 in the direction of the pump 5.
  • a movement impulse can be transmitted to the kitchen waste and food leftovers homogenized by means of the grinder 3, which supports the conveying of the aforementioned mass in the direction of the pump 5.
  • a first step kitchen waste and food scraps to be shredded are placed in the funnel 2 and the lid 10 is then closed. After the lid 10 has been brought into the closed state, the controller 8 receives a corresponding signal and starts the processing cycle by the device 1.
  • a certain amount of process water is introduced into the product line 7 via the water inlet 16 provided in the product line 7. If the third sensor 83 detects that the product line 7 is filled with water to a certain level, the controller 8 receives a corresponding signal and stops introducing the process water into the product line 7. In addition, the controller 8 starts the drive 32. This will the rotor 30 and the pre-shredding unit 4 attached to it are set in rotation. By rotating the pre-shredding unit 4, it begins to shred or pre-shred the kitchen waste and food leftovers located in the hopper 2, essentially by the pre-shredding knives 46 cutting and smashing the kitchen waste and food leftovers.
  • the pump 5 Since the pump 5 is switched off, the kitchen waste and leftover food are not sucked out through the grinder 4, but remain in the funnel 2 and are further chopped there.
  • the cell structures of the organic waste are already largely destroyed in the funnel 2 to such an extent that the water contained in the kitchen waste and food leftovers is released in the funnel 2, which is thereby made usable before the kitchen waste and / or food leftovers are in the Grinder 3 can be shredded.
  • an aqueous suspension with a mushy consistency is formed in the funnel 2 from the shredded kitchen waste and leftover food and the water that has been knocked out.
  • the kitchen waste and/or food scraps pre-shredded in this way make it easier to later chop them up by the grinder 3 if they are sucked out of the funnel 2 through the grinder 3 due to the insertion of the pump 5.
  • process water can be added via the nozzle 14.
  • the pre-shredding unit 4 Due to the rotation of the pre-shredding unit 4, in addition to the shredding effect, energy is also transferred to the kitchen waste and food leftovers and these are set in rotation in the hopper 2. As a result, the pre-shredding unit 4 generates a circulating grinding stream 13 in the hopper 2. The kitchen waste and/or food leftovers in the hopper are consequently additionally stirred or mixed by the pre-shredding unit 4. This creates the maelstrom 13 in the hopper 2, which allows the material to circulate in the hopper 2 in both the horizontal and vertical directions. In the circulating maelstrom 13 generated by the pre-shredding unit 4, the kitchen waste and/or food leftovers rotate at different speeds depending on their position in the hopper 2.
  • the speed decreases, with the particles being braked in particular by friction on the funnel walls 20 and among themselves.
  • the parts or mass flows moving at different speeds and their friction with one another cause the kitchen waste and food leftovers to be further shredded in the maelstrom 13, which means that the kitchen waste and food leftovers are already in the hopper 2.
  • a relatively homogeneous biomass is formed in the hopper 2, with the entire contents of the hopper 2 gradually being moved and comminuted by the grinding stream 13.
  • Figure 5 shows schematically a sectional view of the funnel 2.
  • the maelstrom is indicated by the arrows numbered 13.
  • the strength or thickness of the arrows is a measure of the speed.
  • Figure 6 shows schematically a perspective side view of the device 1. Again, the maelstrom is indicated by the arrows numbered with the reference number 13. The strength or thickness of the arrows is in turn a measure of the speed of the moving substances.
  • the pre-shredding unit 4 forms a grinding stream 13 in the hopper 2 in the horizontal and at the same time in the vertical direction.
  • Non-organic substances such as textiles, plastic items such as films or gloves, are caught and wound up on the pre-shredding knives 46 during pre-shredding and are thus separated from the organic components.
  • ferromagnetic materials such as knives or forks
  • ferromagnetic substances are sorted out of the maelstrom 13 by applying a magnetic force using the magnetic element 9.
  • the ferromagnetic substances remain stuck to the funnel wall 20 due to the magnetic force in the area of the magnetic element 9.
  • the pre-shredding takes place for a period of time previously selected on the control unit 80 before the pump 5 is started and the pre-shredded kitchen waste and food leftovers are pumped out of the hopper 2 and thus the shredding by the grinder 3 is started.
  • the funnel 2 and the lid 10 are sprayed through the nozzle 14 using injected process water. This means that the process water is sprayed widely over the biomass still in the hopper and the lid and the hopper area are roughly cleaned.
  • the liquid level in the product line is recorded, and pumping out is stopped when the liquid level falls below a predetermined level.
  • a method for shredding kitchen waste and/or leftover food, preferably for homogenizing kitchen waste and/or leftover food, according to an alternative embodiment, is described below.
  • the method according to the alternative embodiment essentially corresponds to the method described above, with the operating cycle having a higher degree of automation.
  • the pre-shredding is not started here when the lid 10 is closed, but only when the second sensor 82 also detects that a predetermined filling level has been reached. The second sensor 82 then transmits a corresponding signal to the controller 8, which then starts the pre-shredding 4.
  • the speed of the pre-shredding unit 4 is varied during the pre-shredding between a speed of 700 and 2800 revolutions per minute in order to achieve an improved mixing ratio and good comminution of different materials.
  • the direction of rotation of the pre-shredding unit 4 is changed several times during pre-shredding.
  • the pre-shredding is not operated for a predetermined period of time, but begins when a change in the rotational resistance of the drive 32 determined by the sensor 84 and the controller 8 in a predetermined speed range is below a certain limit value or limit amount.
  • the aforementioned change in time is used here as a measure of the degree of homogenization of the kitchen waste and/or leftover food, whereby, if the change in time is less than the limit value, the mass resulting from the pre-shredding is sufficiently homogeneous so that effective pumping is possible Pump and simultaneous grinding in the grinder is possible.
  • the injection of the process water for pre-cleaning is also triggered by a signal from the first sensor 81 when it detects a predetermined empty level in the funnel 2. After pumping has ended, process water is again fed through the nozzle 14 into the funnel 2 until the first sensor 81 detects that the water level is above the grinder 3. This prevents residues of shredded kitchen waste and leftover food from drying and becoming crusty in the grinder.
  • the present description also relates to a method for shredding kitchen waste and/or food leftovers, preferably for homogenizing kitchen waste and/or food leftovers, comprising the step of loading a hopper 2 for receiving kitchen waste and/or food leftovers, which is attached to a hopper bottom 22 with a grinder 3 for shredding, preferably homogenizing, the kitchen waste and / or food leftovers and is connected from the grinder 3 via a product line 7 to a pump 5 for pumping out shredded kitchen waste and / or food leftovers, with kitchen waste and / or food leftovers to be shredded, and the step of pumping out the kitchen waste and/or food leftovers shredded by the grinder 3 by means of the pump 5, ferromagnetic substances being extracted from the kitchen waste and/or food leftovers by applying a magnetic force at least in a region of a funnel wall 20 of the funnel 2, preferably at least be sorted out during pre-shredding.
  • the device 1 accordingly preferably has a magnetic device, by means of which the magnetic force is applied in at least one area of the funnel wall 20 of the funnel 2 can be.
  • the magnetic device can be provided, for example, in the form of an electromagnet or a permanent magnet.
