As early as the 1960s, developed countries such as Japan, the United States and Switzerland began to apply and popularize kitchen waste shredders. More than ten years ago, kitchen garbage shredders began to enter the China market, but until now, their popularity is also very low. People are reluctant to use food waste shredders. Why?

The function of kitchen garbage pulverizer

The kitchen garbage shredder is generally installed at the water pipe below the kitchen sink to deal with the food residue left by the family. It can crush the remaining food and let it directly enter the urban sewage treatment system along the sewer pipe, thus reducing the burden of urban garbage transportation and treatment.

The kitchen waste pulverizer is a hydraulic transmission mode of kitchen waste through the sewer, which can treat the food waste that is most prone to decay and stink in daily life, reduce the possibility of pollution of recyclable materials in garbage, reduce the leakage in the process of urban garbage treatment and transportation, and realize the classified treatment of urban garbage more efficiently. In addition, the kitchen garbage crusher is helpful to improve the recycling rate of organic matter in garbage and reduce the discharge of garbage.

Why don't you like to use kitchen waste shredders in China?

The price of kitchen waste pulverizer is about 1000-5000 yuan, which is a bit extravagant for ordinary families. But this is not the main reason why people don't want to use it.

Many families think that the kitchen waste pulverizer does not conform to the national conditions of China. First of all, there are many single-family buildings abroad, and the sewer pipes are thick; In China, however, families live in concentrated areas, and the sewer pipes are thin and easy to be blocked. Second, China has a rich diet, and many domestic dishes are greasy and easy to stick to the wall of water pipes. The foreign diet is mainly pure vegetables, and there is less oil in food. Third, increase household water consumption, garbage needs water to be washed away, and greasy food residues are not easy to be washed away, which is more water-consuming. Fourth, increase urban water pollution and increase the difficulty and cost of urban sewage treatment. Kitchen waste is rich in a lot of organic nutrients, and this sewage treatment equipment consumes more electricity.

Fifth, it is more convenient, more environmentally friendly and more resource-saving to treat domestic garbage by classification. For example, kitchen waste may be treated and reused as agricultural waste, glass and plastic waste, which also reduces the input cost of urban waste treatment. At present, a lot of domestic sewage is directly discharged into rivers, causing serious pollution.

Finally, Bian Xiao wants to say that the use of the kitchen garbage shredder is actually very simple. You can turn on the tap first, and then pour all the food waste into the machine, such as shells, peels, leftovers, leaves, eggshells, bones and so on. After being crushed, the garbage will become small particles and then flow away along the sewer.
