FOOD WASTE DISPOSER NOISE REDUCTION USING ACTIVE NOISE CONTROL
20170358290 · 2017-12-14 · ·

A food waste disposer system (300) has active noise control of food waste disposer noise that is generated by the food waste disposer (302) when a motor of the food waste disposer (302) is running. The food waste disposer (302) has a food conveying section that conveys food waste to a grinding section. The grinding section has a rotatable shredder plate that is rotated by a motor of a motor section. Active noise sound waves (310) are radiated into an area (313) where the food waste disposer noise is to be controlled at an amplitude and frequency to at least cancel or mask the food waste disposer noise.

Cutting system for a grinding pump and related grinding pump
11512701 · 2022-11-29 · ·

A cutting system for a grinding pump, including a cutting disc attached to the pump near an inlet and having a cutting surface with multiple cutting orifices, and a rotating cutter attached to the rotating shaft of the pump and having two cutting blades, each blade having a cutting edge on a forward-facing side of the rotating cutter. The rotating cutter is located on the upstream side of the cutting disc, and cooperates with the cutting orifices of the cutting disc to perform cutting actions. Each cutting orifice has a hole extending from the cutting surface through the cutting disc to form a feeding orifice, and a cutting protrusion protruding from the cutting surface and surrounding the hole region. The multiple cutting orifices define recessed areas of the cutting surface between the cutting orifices. The cutting system can prevent uncut floating matters from being trapped, and is effective and safe.

FOOD WASTE DISPOSAL APPARATUS
20230173503 · 2023-06-08 ·

Proposed is a food waste disposal apparatus for automatically discharging food waste by compressing (naturally dewatering), cutting, and drying food waste. More specifically, proposed is a food waste disposal apparatus having a corrugated part provided at an input hole so that same can be bent in all directions, and thus construction is facilitated, and having, at a predetermined distance away from a drying drum that generates high heat, an exhaust fan for discharging internal air of a drying and discharging part, so as to minimize breakdown of the exhaust fan caused by high heat, and enable vibration and noise of the exhaust fan to be prevented.

A device for granulating sludge has a hollow-cylindrical die into which sludge to be granulated is to be injected and in which a stripper with at least one knife is rotatingly arranged. A knife holder holds at least one knife radially movably on the rotating stripper.

Black tank arrangement
11498496 · 2022-11-15 ·

A black tank arrangement is provided having a selectively operable macerator for recirculating fluid adjacent the black tank outlet back toward the black tank inlet, so as to flush or spray waste from that inlet toward the outlet. Selecting the fluid transfer components to be mountable adjacent the end face of the black tank near the black tank outlet allows the invention to be retrofit into previously installed black tanks in vehicles. Operation of the macerator can be manual, via a remote switch held down by the user for a given time period, and/or automatic, in sequence with toilet operation.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING VOLUMETRIC EFFICIENCY IN A FOOD RECYCLING UNIT
20220347693 · 2022-11-03 ·

A food recycler includes a case, a control system within the case, and a set of user interface components that are usable to at least cause the control system to initiate a food recycling cycle. The food recycler also includes a motor within the case and a bucket that has a volumetric capacity between 2.51 and 10 liters. A filter system configured to accommodate air filters is also included in the case of the food recycler. To remove water from waste food items, the food recycler includes a drying component.

Size reduction device and method for the size reduction of solid particles
09802203 · 2017-10-31 · ·

A size reduction device and method for solid particles, which are conveyed as a suspension in a liquid flow. The device includes a housing, at least two counter-rotatable size reduction components disposed in the housing, each including a plurality of cutting elements, disposed on a common rotatable shaft with a longitudinal axis. The flow direction of the suspension is at right angles to the longitudinal axes of the shafts of the size reduction components. Two mutually opposite guide rails with a longitudinal axis parallel to the shafts are assigned to components. Each guide rail includes a base plate, on which ribs with channels are constituted parallel to the flow direction on the side of the base plate towards the component.

Methods for cannabis waste disposal
11484920 · 2022-11-01 · ·

Systems and methods for rendering cannabis-related waste materials are provided. The method may include inserting a plurality of cannabis-related waste materials into, for example, a mobile rendering vehicle. The method may further include physically altering the cannabis-related waste materials such that the cannabis-related waste materials are unrecognizable and unusable. The insertion of the cannabis-related waste materials into the mobile rendering vehicle may be recorded and/or the physical alteration (e.g., pulverization) of the cannabis-related waste materials may be recorded via one or more cameras disposed on the mobile rendering vehicle to verify proper insertion and/or alteration of the cannabis-related waste materials.
