Product: Integrated Crushing & Press Machine

Country: United States

Application: Food Scraps Dewatering

Integrated Crushing & Press Machine is a highly efficient and practical device for processing food waste. It uses two core steps: crushing and pressing to reduce the amount of food waste and recycle it. The following explains in detail how it works, its advantages, and specific application scenarios.

I. Core Working Principle: Crushing and Pressing

1. Crushing

The purpose is to cut and crush food waste of varying sizes and shapes (such as vegetable leaves, fruit peels, bones, leftover rice, and vegetables), reducing it to smaller, uniform particles. Driven by a motor, the rotating blades or hammers within the machine rotate at high speed, breaking the material up through shearing and impact. This process prepares the material for subsequent pressing, resulting in uniform particles that are easier to dehydrate.

2. Pressing (Dehydration)

The purpose is to apply high-intensity mechanical pressure to the crushed material, forcibly separating the moisture from it. The screw shaft propels the crushed material forward. During this process, the pitch of the screw gradually decreases, while the aperture of the screen remains constant. This continuously compresses the space, generating a tremendous squeezing force that squeezes the moisture out of the screen and releases the solids through the outlet. This process effectively reduces the moisture content of food waste from 80%-90% to below 50%, reducing its volume and weight. This means significantly less waste needs to be collected, saving on transportation and disposal costs.

II. Advantages and Value:

Economic Value:

Cost Savings: Significantly reduces the frequency and cost of waste collection.
Revenue Generation: The resulting dry residue can be sold to organic fertilizer plants, and the separated waste oil can be sold to biodiesel companies.

Environmental Value:

Reduction: Reduces waste volume and reduces the burden on end-of-life disposal at the source.
Resource Utilization: Converts waste into a resource, in line with the concept of a circular economy.
Harmless Disposal: Avoids problems such as odor and bacterial growth during storage and transportation.

III. Typical Application Scenarios:

Large-Scale Organizations: Canteens, schools, hospitals, businesses, government agencies, and cafeterias, which generate large amounts of concentrated food waste.
Catering Industry: Hotels, restaurants, and food courts.
Wet Markets/Fruit and Vegetable Markets: Process discarded fruit, vegetable, and seafood waste.

Integrated Crushing & Press Machine combine physical methods of crushing and then pressing to efficiently separate food waste into solid and liquid, achieving the goals of waste reduction, stabilization, and resource utilization. It's not just waste treatment equipment; it's also a starting point for resource recovery, making it an indispensable and key component of modern food waste disposal systems.
