The present invention relates to a food waste reduction apparatus, and more particularly, to a food waste reduction apparatus capable of compressing and reducing a large amount of food waste using a screw.

As the income increases with the development of the industry, not only the diet is enriched, but the interest in the residential environment is also increasing. In this way, food is more and more discarded due to the richness of the diet, and the disposal of food is disposed rather than recycled.

However, when the food waste is disposed of, food contains a lot of water, so that leachate is generated when it is disposed, and this leachate flows into the surrounding groundwater as well as the surrounding streams, polluting the water quality, and thus affecting the ecosystem. It is also emerging as an environmental problem.

In addition, food waste generated in homes and restaurants is not only diverse, but also bulky, resulting in economic loss along with labor loss due to disposal, and causing a problem of shortening the service life of landfills.

Therefore, in order to solve these problems, the government not only recommends the separate collection of food and general waste, but also enacted it. As such, by separating and collecting food waste and general waste, it was possible to reduce the amount of garbage generated at home to some extent, but it was not possible to reduce the volume of generated waste itself.

Therefore, dozens of species of food waste disposal devices or weight loss devices are on the market, and are still being developed.

In general, these food waste handlers are classified into microbial fermentation, microbial extinction and drying.

Microbial fermentation has a disadvantage that the work capacity is reduced because the food waste should be repeatedly added and collected, and recycling is not suitable after collection. In addition, restrictions may be imposed due to the base when residual salts are added to the ground.

In addition, while the microbial extinction type is completely extinguished to reduce the inconvenience of garbage collection, microorganisms should be added periodically, and a lot of odors are generated when garbage is input as well as odors are generated in the exhaust pipe depending on the weather. There is a problem, and there is a disadvantage that a small amount of capacity that can be processed for the price.

On the other hand, the dry type has the advantage that the volume is reduced by about 50% by drying the garbage and no odor is generated, but it is cumbersome to repeatedly input and collect the garbage, and the salt is dissolved in the soil and cannot be recycled. The disadvantage is that. In addition, there is a problem that the treatment capacity is considerably less in preparation for the price as well as damage to others by the odor removal exhaust pipe generates a bad odor according to the weather.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a food waste reduction device that can improve the processing speed by enabling the continuous input of food waste in accordance with the treatment capacity per hour using a compression screw.

Another object of the present invention is to reduce the amount of food waste that can be recycled to compost within a shorter period than the natural state by recycling compressed solids to compost by using after fermentation for about 15 days using geothermal heat in the natural state. To provide a device.
