How Waste Disposal Units Work

A waste disposal unit is an appliance installed beneath a kitchen sink. Its purpose is to chop up food scraps into tiny fragments, making them safe to pass through the plumbing system and into the sewer.

Food waste is broken down within the unit through the action of a grinding ring and an impeller. When activated, the motor causes the impeller to rotate, pushing the food scraps onto the grinding ring, which pulverises them into a watery slurry which is easily washed away, reducing the volume of waste destined for landfill.

Waste disposal units are an environmentally friendly and effective solution to managing food waste. 

Key Benefits Of Waste Disposal Units

Featuring many advantages, waste disposal units effectively handle all types of food waste, simplifying the work in your kitchen. 

Their self-cleaning design ensures minimal maintenance and regular use ensures your unit stays in optimal condition.

With low energy and water usage, these units contribute positively to your home’s sustainability. 

Safety is paramount, and instead of using blades, these units employ grinders for efficient food waste disposal, minimising the risk of accidents. In the event of a jam, waste disposal units are designed for easy unblocking.

Versatility is another key advantage, with units compatible with single or half-bowl sinks of various materials. 

The operation of these units is impressively quiet, ensuring a peaceful kitchen environment. They can also be connected to the hot water supply and are compatible with septic tanks.
