Food waste reduction device {APPARATUS FOR REDUCING FOOD WASTE}

The present invention relates to food waste from a business or home, and more specifically, to a food waste reduction device for reducing food waste by removing water or harmful substances from food waste that is bulky, heavy, and watery. will be.

In general, food waste is generated when a hotel, which is equipped with a facility such as a buffet, and a store for making and selling food, a small restaurant, or discarding the food left over after eating at home or making the food wrong.

The food waste thrown away from the above, as a lot of problems occur in terms of national and environmental aspects not only in Korea but also in foreign countries, there is a lot of interest in food waste in the world.

That is, the food waste contains a large amount of water, water, etc., as well as a large amount of spices and salts such as red pepper powder, so that the volume and weight of the discarded food waste have been high.

In addition, as the food is made using various materials, such as soft materials and hard materials such as bones of animals, it is difficult to separate and store the food waste and soft food waste as well as the food waste. As the garbage is put together in the garbage bag, there is a problem that the garbage bag is torn by the solid food waste.

Particularly, Korean food culture prepares a large number of foods at mealtimes, and also has a lot of moisture in the ingredients to make foods, as well as water, soup, stew, etc. As well as a lot of water and the like, the food is discarded by using a lot of spices (such as red pepper powder), soy sauce, salt, etc. when making the food contains a lot of water, water or salt.

Therefore, as the amount, volume, and weight of food waste increases, it is very inconvenient to dispose of or dispose of the food waste, and the collected food waste contains salt, spices, and soybeans. When the soil is desolated, of course, landfills for landfilling of food wastes are not enough, and costs for establishing landfills are not only high, but also bad smells are generated as the food wastes decay. There is a filthy problem.

In addition, when incinerating food waste, heavy metals such as dioxin are generated when the food waste is struck, and the heavy metal floats in the air and is inhaled through the breathing or skin of the human body. There are problems of obtaining and environmental pollution such as air pollution as well as costly by the installation and site selection of the device for incineration of the food waste.

On the other hand, food waste from the home is disposed in a food waste bag and disposed of, and if the food waste is not taken in a timely manner, the food waste decays after a certain period of time, as well as a bad smell and cats wandering around the house. Food waste bags are not only torn by dogs, but also food wastes are polluted around, and odors, mosquitoes, flies, and the like are inhabited.

When food waste is fed into food wastes, when animals or animals eat feed made by food wastes due to corrupt food wastes, they are killed in groups by mad cow disease or unknown germs, so there are many problems to recycle the food wastes as feeds. Is generated.

In addition, when the food waste is recycled to compost or the like, the food waste contains salt, etc., so that the soil is acidified by the salts contained therein, thereby harming an environment in which plants can grow, thereby causing the plants to dry. .

As such, landfilling of food wastes causes many problems due to soil contamination and landfilling, as well as a large collection cost for collecting the food wastes, and harms the human body by heavy metals generated when the food wastes are incinerated. As well as environmental pollution, the food waste is recycled due to corruption and salt, that is, there are many problems to feed and compost. Can be.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, so as to install a food waste reduction device for crushing and removing food waste, so that the food waste is finely crushed by the food waste reduction device to remove moisture The purpose is to reduce the volume and weight of the food waste.

In addition, the present invention not only recycles the food waste discharged through the food waste reduction apparatus as the water is removed from the food waste, and also prevents the corruption and odor of the food waste, thereby preventing the environment (soil, river, atmosphere, etc.). It aims to prevent pollution in advance and to make the environment around food waste clean and hygienic.
