• storage chamber CS1 to CS5 may have a window F, transparent or translucent, making it possible to know the internal filling level of the corresponding storage chamber CS1 to CS5, that is to say the filling level of the container C1 to C5 corresponding.
• These windows F present on a visible face of the system, therefore allow visual control of the filling level of the various storage chambers CS1 to CS5 from the outside, without having to remove the corresponding removable container C1 to C5.
• All or part of the storage chambers CS1 to CS5 may have, as
• a double bottom intended to trap residual liquids.
• a cavity is thus formed between the sealed bottom of the corresponding container C1 to C5, and a perforated upper wall kept away from the sealed bottom and the openings of which are intended to be traversed by liquids. These openings are however sufficiently small so as to retain the shredded material.
• a sealed bottom opening, closed by a removable plug, can empty trapped liquids through a gravity system.
• each inlet E1 to E5 authorizes the
• the system can receive a multitude of flows of household waste, these being inherently unsuitable.
• the system is therefore equipped with cleaning means, for example by periodic spraying, managed by the control means 10, at predefined frequencies as required.
• Reservoirs or tanks 4 are filled with a liquid or product
• Each loading pipe 1 1 contains a sprayer connected to the reservoir 4.
• the disinfectant is brought to each inlet mouth E1 to E5 from the reservoir 4 via a conduit, and injected, for example by spraying, independently into each inlet mouth E1 to E5.
• the control means 10 initiate injection, for example spraying, by acting on means of the solenoid valve type.
• the level sensor is connected to the control means 10.
• the control means 10 receive from the level sensor level information that is too low in the tank 4, the person or persons authorized to top up with products cleaning or disinfectant are alerted by an alert issued by the control means 10.
• This automatic alert supported by the system, can be obtained by sending a phone call or sending an electronic message.
• the control means 10 via an integrated communication system, are therefore configured to generate and send a certain number of information and alerts, intended for example to persons in charge of maintenance.
• a certain number of information and alerts intended for example to persons in charge of maintenance.
• a alert is transmitted by telephone or by electronic message (SMS, email, etc.).
• Each storage chamber CS1 to CS5 can be provided, inside, with a drip device 8 allowing the residual flows not to contaminate the waste.
• Means of gravity can also be provided from the drainer 8 to a drain provided with a siphon 9.
• a device can thus be provided on the front of the system, or close to it, to allow a user to pass an identifier, such as a barcode or QR-code, located on the product, in front of a reader.
• the information thus detected is transmitted by the control means 10 to enrich said database.
• the system can also be equipped with means for recognizing the type of product, making it possible in particular to qualify the frequency of passage of products of each type.
• the system may include a user interface located near or on the device itself, and controlled by the control means 10, and means of communication with a central, remote server, in particular by
• the user interface for example of the touch screen type, makes it possible to provide users with user assistance information and error messages. It also allows users to choose a partner from whom they can claim the reduction coupon or the purchase coupon as presented above.
• the system can be in the form of furniture and can have variable dimensions but preferably less than or equal to 220 cm x 220 cm x 100 cm (height, width, depth). he
