Description

Food waste disposer

According to the present invention, when the lid is closed by using a reed switch, the vacuum pump is automatically driven to discharge air, and when the inside of the food waste is filled in a vacuum state, the driving of the vacuum pump is automatically stopped to determine the degree of corruption of the food waste. It relates to a food processor that reduces the degree of odor generation.

Conventional food processor consists of drying the food waste contained in the food processor by using warm air or hot air.

The food processor has a structure in which outside air is heated through a hot air fan or a hot air fan, and then flows into the food processor and discharges to the outside.
