Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a food waste grinding and dehydrating apparatus,

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a food waste grinding and dehydrating apparatus, and more particularly, to a food waste grinding and dehydrating apparatus for separating and discharging food waste after grinding and dehydrating.

 Food waste is a kind of waste that is generated in large quantities with human life. In Korea, about 10,000 tons of waste is generated per day.

Food waste contains 80 ~ 85% of water in a large amount and is discharged in a wet state. Since it is made of organic material, it is easily corroded and has bad odor and sewage.

Accordingly, various methods for solving the problems of food waste disposal have been developed. As one of these methods, there have been developed various kinds of food waste grinding and discharging apparatuses such as pulverizing and discharging food garbage or spraying microorganisms for fermentation to the pulverized food garbage.

However, in the case of conventional food waste grinding and discharging apparatus, food waste is not separated but flows into the sewer as it is. Therefore, when the sewer is left in the present state, the sewer load is expected.

Particularly, in the oriental diet including Korea, since a lot of foods are consumed with a lot of fiber, the garbage of the food garbage also contains a lot of garbage including fiber, so that the pulverization effect is decreased because the fiber is not broken after grinding The fiber has a problem of clogging the sewer pipe. Moreover, such problems may become even more serious if large quantities of food waste are discharged, such as in a restaurant or a large restaurant.

Accordingly, it is possible to finely grind food waste using a food waste grinding and dehydrator, remove moisture from the finely pulverized food waste, and separate and discharge food waste, thereby safely treating food waste so as not to cause environmental pollution, It is required to enable recycling through fertilization and feed conversion.

However, food waste discharged in large quantities from a Korean restaurant or a large restaurant is mixed with dishware such as a spoon, a chopstick, a fork or a knife. Therefore, when the food waste is pulverized and dehydrated by putting in a grinding / Or a pressing screw or the like may be damaged or a feeding mechanism may intervene between them, which may cause a malfunction that interferes with normal operation, resulting in an operation loss.
