Franke Sinks and Taps, Classic Studio Ceramic - The Sink Shop



A food waste disposer is a modern kitchen appliance. It offers a new way to manage food waste in the modern home. It is installed under the kitchen sink and is attached to the drain. With a stream of cold water from the kitchen tap, the food waste disposer is turned on with the touch of a button. Within seconds, the disposer conveniently grinds food waste to fine particles that are flushed out of the grind chamber and into the septic or sewage system.


Food waste is fed into the disposer together with water from the cold tap. The food waste is simply and quickly ground into fine particles, no knives and no blades. The food waste is then flushed through the waste disposer and into your normal waste system. The IN-SINK-ERATOR food waste disposer is designed to cope with most types of food waste, including small bones, meat, fish, peelings, eggshells, nuts and much, much more.


Waste disposers are built to rigorous standards on electrical and appliances. Contrary to what some may think, they do not have knives or blades…an assumed cause of safety concern.


Only a few seconds, although it depends on the quantity and type of waste. The sound of the disposer will change, when there is no longer any food waste in the grind chamber and the impellers spin freely. After all food waste is ground, turn off the disposer and let the water run for about 15 seconds to flush the waste out of the grind chamber and out to the water drainage/sewer pipes. Only a small amount of water, time and effort is required.


Clean — rather than scraping and pouring messy food waste into a kitchen pedal bin, simply turn on the cold water tap, switch on and empty the unwanted food waste into the sink. Hygienic — fewer insects and odours in the home Convenient — quick clean-up and preparation of foods Practical — an IN–SINK–ERATOR food waste disposer is compact and unobtrusively fits under the sink. It is easy to install either in a new or existing kitchen and can be fitted to most sinks. Responsible — while improving your own quality of life in the kitchen, it is also good to know that you are making a positive contribution to your environment. Not only does it reduce the amount of waste that ends up in a land-fill, but the waste can also be recycled into a soil conditioner at the water treatment plant.


Most forms of food waste can be put through the food waste disposer — bones from fish and poultry, meat, large meat bones, fish scraps, vegetables, fruit, egg shells, and much more. Very stringy or fibrous foods such as celery should be avoided. Food waste disposers are designed for food waste only and packaging materials should not be put into the disposer.


“I am less mobile and live in a flat. This winter it has been a boon.” “ You just take it for granted. I never really think about it.” “ I feel my kitchen is more hygienic and I go to the dustbin far less often now.”


The kitchen is the place in modern homes where families eat, meet and interact. It is designed to be comfortable, relaxing, and easy to maintain. Appliances of today bring greater hygiene and convenience to modern kitchens: refrigerator, clothes washer, oven, dishwasher…and now the food waste disposer. Research in many countries has shown the food waste disposer to be a highly desired kitchen appliance at home. After all, eliminating the problems associated with kitchen food waste has been found to be the most unpleasant task in modern homes. A food waste disposer eliminates sources of bacteria and pests and is convenient: food waste disappears at the touch of a button.


More and more, the food waste disposer is considered an essential kitchen appliance, whether in new construction or existing homes. Using a food waste disposer makes meal preparation quicker and easier. Cleanliness: Food waste is messy, wet, and leaks. Meal leftovers can smell, attract insects, and be a haven for harmful bacteria. Disposers eliminate the need to treat food scraps separately before disposal. In seconds, they are out of the kitchen leaving fewer pests and odours. The kitchen becomes a more pleasant environment for family and social gatherings. Less volume of food waste to remove: Studies show that between 25 and 50% of the volume of kitchen food waste is food waste. Food waste disposers eliminate messy kitchen food waste and dripping trash bags that dirty kitchen floors and passages. Food waste removal requires frequent trips to the rubbish bin outside…which is a problem at night, in bad weather, and for the elderly. No scraps, no smells, no nightly food waste removal, no attraction for insects. All at the touch of a button!

In addition to reducing household waste, a food waste disposer can reduce the amount of waste that goes as land-fill. Waste has become a major global issue and legally binding limits have been established for some countries on the amount of food waste that can be used as land-fill. A food waste disposer can reduce the volume of waste going as land-fill dramatically, by up to 50%. Life-cycle studies have identified major cost benefits from using the food waste disposer rather than land-fill methods alone. Ground food waste channelled to a waste water treatment plant can create valuable fertilizer and generate energy by capturing methane gas. Below is a growing list of environmental studies in favor of food waste disposers. Click on each study below to review. Food waste disposers complement the compost pile. Composting is an environmentally-friendly way to use the space in their yards to slowly break-down organic matter such as food waste. Composting with food waste is not an option for many people who have neither the necessary space nor the time to tend to a compost pile. Additionally, protein food waste such as meat, fish, dairy products and many cooked foods should not be put on a compost pile. The decay process is different from that of green waste and can produce harmful pathogens, noxious smells and be an obvious attractant for rodents and insects.
