In the food waste dehydration bagging machine having the above-described configuration, a plurality of garbage bags 30 are first attached to the dewatering box 6 in the manner described above, and the food waste containing water is put into the garbage bags 30.
Next, when the timer switch 20 is turned on for the required time, the dewatering box 6 rotates at high speed, and water is centrifuged from the holes in the garbage bag 30 and the holes 7 in the dehydrating box 6. All the separated water collects in the water receiving box 2 and is forcibly discharged from the drain port 11 via the drain hose 12 to the outside by a drain pump 13. At this time, the drain pump 13
It is driven at the same time as the rotation starts, and stops either at the same time or with a slight delay to complete drainage. Further, even if the distribution of dust inside the dewatering box 6 is uneven, the vibrations and jumps caused by rotation are absorbed by the spring 5. When dehydration is completed, remove the rubber band 32 from the upper outside of the dehydration box 6, pull up the garbage bag 30, and tighten the garbage bag 30 with the rubber band 32.
Seal the mouth and throw it in the trash.

The food waste dehydration bagging machine of the present invention provides the following excellent effects.

Since the moisture contained in food waste is removed, transportation efficiency and incineration efficiency are improved, and damage to the furnace is also reduced.Furthermore, most of the bad odor is contained in water, and since this is dehydrated, the spread of the bad odor is prevented.

When discharging food waste, only the fine particles that have escaped through the dewatering hole are drained into the drain along with water, eliminating clogging of the drain hole and groove.

It is hygienic because the waste can be dehydrated and packed into bags without touching the waste.

By incorporating it into the kitchen sink, once the cooking is finished, the dehydration and bagging can be completed without touching the food waste, improving work efficiency.

By setting up multiple garbage bags, you can process several meals worth of food waste one after another.

Since a drainage pump is installed, drainage can be carried out even if the drainage location is high and far away, and even if a large amount of wastewater is generated due to a large amount of garbage being processed, such as in the case of commercial use, it can be handled appropriately.

Since all parts are housed within the housing, it can be manufactured, sold, and used as an independent device.

The outer cover that covers the opening of the water receiving box and dewatering box can be opened and closed by operating the foot pedal without using your hands.As soon as the outer cover is opened, the power to each motor is cut off and the rotation stops. Since a brake is applied to the shaft to stop the rotation of the dewatering box and the drain pump, it is extremely safe for the operator and does not waste electricity.

Since the garbage bag is formed with protrusions, dehydration will not be hindered even if a large number of bags are stacked on top of each other.
