In the crusher supported by the support base 9, the material inlet 11 of the transfer cylinder 10 is connected to the opening 6 of the garbage receiving portion 4, and the fixed tooth 12 is attached to the tip. 13 is a spiral member that is disposed in the transfer cylinder 10 and is driven to rotate by an electric motor 14, and has rotating teeth 15 at the tip, and the material supplied from the material input port 11 is moved to the tip by rotation of the spiral member 13. It is transferred and crushed by the rotary teeth 15 and the fixed teeth 12.

A treatment tank 16 is rotatably supported on the support base 9 through a pair of bearings 17 and 18, and is made of a corrosion-resistant material such as synthetic resin or stainless steel. A plurality of ribs 19 are formed so as to project inward.
The tip of the transfer cylinder 10 penetrates through a bearing 17 that axially supports one side of the processing tank 16, and one side of the processing tank 16 and the transfer cylinder 10 of the crusher 8 are supported by a support 9 that supports the bearing 17. ing. A drive shaft 20 is fixed to the other side of the processing tank 16, and a sprocket 21 is fixed thereto. Reference numeral 22 denotes an electric motor, which has a sprocket 23 fixed to its rotating shaft and rotates the processing tank 16 via a chain 24 installed between the sprockets 21 and 23. Reference numeral 25 is a small hole formed in the processing tank 16 and is formed to a size such that the processing medium 28 described later does not leak.
28 discharges water and carbon dioxide gas generated by decomposing the garbage to the outside of the processing tank 16. Reference numeral 26 denotes a drain pan disposed below the treatment tank 16 for receiving water discharged from the treatment tank 16 and discharging the water to the drain pipe 5 through a drain pipe 27.

The processing tank 16 and an electric motor for rotating the processing tank 16
22 is arranged in a corner portion which is a dead space of the L-shaped sink 1.

A processing medium 28 is contained in the processing tank 16. The treatment medium 28 is a wood particle such as sawdust, a chaff, a rice bran, a microbial culture substrate such as soil, in this example, Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 2-34679 (C02F 11/02) `` Sludge of wood particles. The microbial culture substrate shown in "Microbial treatment method" is used. When garbage is put into this processing medium 28 and mixed, bacilli and cocci are generated, and the bacilli corrode the garbage, and the cocci eat and decompose into water and carbon dioxide gas to eliminate the garbage.

During cooking, the material pressing rod 7 is inserted into the material input port 11 of the crusher 8 to close the opening of the water drainage basket 3. In this state, the water from the sink 2 is drained to the drain pipe 5 via the water drain basket 3.

When the kitchen waste is processed, the material pressing rod 7 is removed, and the electric motor 14 is driven by the operation of a switch (not shown) to rotate the spiral body 13, while the material pressing rod 7 is used to drain the water drainage basket 3 and the garbage receiving portion 4. Material input port 11 through opening 6
Put the kitchen waste in. The garbage thrown into the crusher 8 through the material feeding port 11 is transferred to the tip side of the transfer cylinder 10 by the spiral body 13, crushed by the fixed teeth 12 and the rotary teeth 15, and discharged to the processing tank 16.
