Manage your Food Waste

We all know how fruit & vegetable peelings and leftovers left in the bin even just for a short while can become whiffy, warm and unpleasant, creating a perfect home for bacteria and potential pests. With a food waste disposer, you can quickly separate these items as you go and dispose of them immediately - keeping your kitchen fresh.

Preparing food and cleaning up after meals is a lot easier with a food waste disposer. Food scraps go right into the sink, instead of the rubbish bin. Simply turn on the cold water, switch on the disposer, then drop your food scraps down the drain. It's that easy. The disposer liquefies and flushes the food waste into the sewage or septic system.

Food waste disposers provide a convenient way to manage food scraps directly at the sink, helping to reduce the amount of food waste placed in household waste bins. Depending on local wastewater treatment infrastructure, organic material may be recovered through processes such as biogas production and nutrient recovery. Check local regulations and treatment practices to understand how food waste is managed in your area.

Activating your Food Waste Disposer is easy: simply press the Air Switch button. Safety is paramount - there are no sharp blades - Franke Food Waste Disposers utilise a spinning plate in the grinding chamber, located well out of reach, that efficiently grinds food into tiny particles. This simple and safe mechanism makes it easy for everyone in the family to lend a hand with kitchen cleanup without worry.
