Although it has been around for almost a hundred years, the Food Waste Shredder is still a novelty. But whether it is on a family vacation or watching movies and TV shows, your customers have seen one – and maybe even used one. It eliminates food waste in a practical way, avoiding accumulation in the trash bin can and preventing unpleasant odors and the attraction of insects. It is hard not to want to include one in your kitchen design.

The practicality and speed it brings to your kitchen routine are unmatched. As the name suggests, its function is to shred the most diverse types of food waste, such as peels, seeds and even small bones, such as chicken bones. To do this, it has three stages of shredding: grinding, breaking and tearing.

Still, it is important to share some precautions with your customers. The main thing is to avoid shredding large quantities at a time to prevent clogging of the pipes and grease box. Additionally, it is not recommended to shred non-food waste, large fruit pits and large bones. Other recommendations include avoiding pouring food with hot liquids (above 70 ºC), as they can damage the seals, as well as fats and oils, which can cause unpleasant odors.

The Food Waste Shredder is also very safe. Contrary to what many believe, it does not use knives or blades to shred. In fact, the waste is pushed to the laterals by centrifugal force and is shredded by hammers. In addition, it has a rubber membrane that prevents flatware and other objects from accidentally falling inside. Another difference is the exclusive accessory that comes with it: an auxiliary safety device that helps insert food waste into the shredder. All this to ensure greater peace of mind for your customer.

And best of all: installation is simple! It goes under the kitchen bowls, replacing the siphon, and is applied to the sewer outlet. But be careful: there must be a hole for a 4 1/2” valve for the product to be compatible.
