ORGANIC WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

A liquification system for an organic waste management system includes a hopper that is oriented vertically such that organic waste added to the hopper is biased by gravity toward a bottom end of the hopper; an agitator that is disposed within the hopper and is movable in a first rotational direction that moves organic waste downward and in a second rotational direction that moves organic waste upward; a motor configured to selectively move the agitator in the first and second rotational directions under control of the controller; and a side grinding and drainage system disposed toward the bottom end of the hopper and preferably on a tapered portion of the hopper for grinding and liquefying organic waste.

USER-REMOVABLE, ELECTRICALLY HEATED, AND MECHANICALLY ACTUATED BUCKET UNIT FOR ORGANIC MATTER PROCESSING APPARATUS

Embodiments disclosed herein provide a bucket assembly and method of use thereof. The bucket assembly is a relatively lightweight and removable apparatus that can fracture cut, paddle, and heat contents contained therein. The bucket assembly can include a housing that has a curved metal plate and blade array attached thereto. A cut and paddle assembly can rotate within the housing and interface with the blade array to fracture cut contents contained therein. The cut and paddle assembly is also operative to mix the contents to ensure full dispersal within the housing. A flexible heater array is attached to and operative to heat the curved metal plate. The combination of the fracture cutting, paddling, and heating can convert organic matter to a ground and selectively desiccated product.

The bowl with attachable grinder for use with a pipe is a mechanical structure. The bowl with attachable grinder for use with a pipe claims the benefit of United States 35 USC 120 from non-provisional application U.S. Ser. No. 16/253,282 filed on Jan. 22, 2019. The prior disclosure comprises a partitioned bowl. A gas phase of a pharmacologically active media generated by the combustion of a smoking material passes through the partitioned bowl. The bowl with attachable grinder for use with a pipe comprises an exterior screw thread and a burr grinder. The exterior screw thread removably attaches the burr grinder to the prism structure of the partitioned bowl. The burr grinder grinds the smoking material in preparation for the combustion of the smoking material within the partitioned bowl. The burr grinder deposits the ground smoking material directly into the prism structure of the partitioned bowl.
