Description

Food Waste Disposal Device {FOOD-WASTE TREATMENT APPARATUS}

The present invention relates to a food waste treatment apparatus, and more specifically, it can be installed in the lower portion of the sink to easily crush, compress, and dry the food waste, and to force the discharge of odor from the food waste through the sink pipe. By doing so, the present invention relates to a food waste treatment apparatus that is easy to use and prevents the occurrence of odors.

In general, food wastes such as leftovers left over from foods or food wastes generated during cooking and cooking flow into the streams through sewers and decay, resulting in severe odors and destruction of ecosystems caused by eutrophication. .

Accordingly, food waste is collected and collected separately, and each household removes only water from food waste and places it in a garbage bag. However, odor occurs while storing food waste in net or basket to remove moisture from food waste, and it is not only difficult to remove enough moisture, but also has to be transferred to garbage bag after removing moisture. It follows. In addition, a small amount of food waste generated from the food remaining in the bowl when washing dishes has a problem that most of it is immediately discharged through the pipe.

In order to process such food waste, various types of food waste treatment apparatuses such as piston type, fermentation type, hot air drying type have been developed, but each type of food waste processing apparatus has the following disadvantages.

Piston food waste disposal device is not suitable for home use because it does not make the size small and there is a hassle of having to take out food waste again after dehydration.

The food processing device that ferments and removes food waste by using fermentation bacteria is medium and large in size, which is not suitable for home use, it causes odor during fermentation, and requires expensive enzyme powder, which leads to high maintenance cost and high product price. expensive. In addition, there is a hassle to collect the leftovers after the treatment periodically, and the residues are gasified and there are few by-products, but because the salts remain in the by-products, they cannot be recycled as animal feed or organic fertilizers.

In the case of a hot air dry food processor, there is a problem in that the size is large, the energy consumption is severe during processing, and odor is generated.

On the other hand, a small food waste processing apparatus has been introduced that can be used for home use to squeeze the waste filtered from the sink to pass through the crusher attached to the juice or discard the solids from which the moisture is removed. However, even in the case of solids obtained by dehydrating food waste, there is a relatively large amount of water remaining. Therefore, odors due to decay and deterioration occurred during storage until a certain amount was filled in the standard bags. There were problems such as getting worse.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to simply install in the lower part of the sink to crush, crush, and dry the food waste, and by forcibly discharging the odor from the food waste through the sink pipe, it is easy to use and odor generation It is to provide a small food waste treatment apparatus to prevent the.
