A food waste processor including a food waste inlet; a grinding station located downstream of the inlet, wherein the grinding station includes a grinding apparatus which grinds the food waste and increases pressure on the food waste; a liquid exit path from the grinding station, wherein the liquid exit path includes a filter; and a solid exit path from the grinding station, wherein a liquid component of the ground food waste is forced through the filter and exits the grinding station via the liquid exit path and a solid organic component of the ground food waste exits the grinding station via the solid exit path; the liquid exit path is in communication with a separator; the solid exit path is in communication with a compressed food waste collector; the separator separates the liquid component into water and an organic component which includes entrained food particles; the separator including a water exit path in communication with a water treatment station, and an organic component exit path in communication with an organic processing station; the organic processing station includes a storage chamber, a heater, a pump having an inlet and an outlet and an organic conduit, wherein the heater heats the storage chamber, the inlet of the pump is in communication with the storage chamber, the outlet of the pump is in communication with an inlet end of the conduit, and an outlet end of the conduit defines an organic component outlet port disposed downstream of the food waste inlet and upstream of the grinding station.

System having an apparatus (10) for shredding hygiene products (12), which operates within a revolving device (22).

The comminution device includes a feed opening for feeding material to be comminuted, a comminution shaft for comminuting the material fed to the device, and a cutting chamber, arranged between the feed opening and the comminution shaft and delimited by a cutting chamber wall, which can be pivoted.

Method of recycling a textile material which comprises cellulose for manufacturing regenerated cellulosic molded bodies, wherein in the method the textile material is comminuted, at least a part of non-fiber-constituents of the comminuted textile material is separated from fiber-constituents of the comminuted textile material, at least a part of non-cellulosic fibers of the fiber-constituents is mechanically separated from cellulosic fibers of the fiber-constituents, at least a further part of the non-cellulosic fibers is chemically separated from the cellulosic fibers, and the molded bodies are generated based on the cellulosic fibers after mechanically separating and chemically separating.

A kitchen garbage processor, includes: a processor body, a dewatering component, and an oil-water separating component, the processor body has a working platform disposed thereon, an inlet for dumping kitchen garbage is disposed on the working platform, a fore end of the dewatering component is communicated with the inlet and configured to send a kitchen garbage that to be processed to the dewatering component to separate a solid garbage from a liquid garbage; a solid garbage outlet configured for sending out a processed solid garbage and a liquid garbage outlet configured for sending out a residual liquid garbage are disposed at a rear end of the dewatering component; a fore end of the oil-water separating component is communicated with the liquid garbage outlet so as to send liquid garbage that to be processed to the oil-water separating component to separate oil from water; an oil outlet configured for sending out separated oil and a water outlet configured for sending out separated water are disposed at a rear end of the oil-water separating component. Purpose of separating solid garbage, oil and water simultaneously is realized.

An orchard sanitation implement disposes of unharvested nuts which may otherwise be utilized as habitat and food for navel orangeworms. Unharvested nuts are lifted from the orchard floor and delivered to a storage bin of the implement. Once received within the storage bin, the unharvested nuts are separated from other orchard debris by a looping belt which allows unharvested nuts to fall through, but other orchard debris is conveyed outside of the storage bin for deposit either into a container or back to the orchard floor. The unharvested nuts fall through openings in the looping belt, through an outlet at the bottom of the storage bin and into a shredding unit attached to the outlet. The shredding unit shreds and pulverizes the unharvested nuts into a composition which is too small to be utilized by navel orangeworms for habitat or a source of food.

A method of producing a chemical pulp from a textile material which comprises cellulose for manufacturing regenerated cellulosic molded bodies, wherein in the method the textile material is comminuted, at least a part of non-fiber-constituents of the comminuted textile material is separated from fiber-constituents of the comminuted textile material, at least a part of non-cellulosic fibers of the fiber-constituents is mechanically separated from cellulosic fibers of the fiber-constituents, at least a further part of the non-cellulosic fibers is chemically separated from the cellulosic fibers, and producing regenerated molded bodies from the chemical pulp based on the cellulosic fibers after mechanically separating and chemically separating.

Embodiments disclosed herein provide an organic matter processing apparatus and method for the use thereof to convert organic matter into a ground and desiccated product. This can be accomplished using a bucket assembly that can grind, paddle, and heat organic matter contained therein. An air treatment system is provided to treat the air interacting with the organic matter. The processing apparatus is outfitted with sensors and switches that provide feedback data to a processing unit and a safety monitor. The feedback data is used to monitor the operating conditions and the status of various components, as well as control the operation of the processing apparatus. In addition, the feedback data is used to enforce a safety protocol.
