What is a Commercial Garbage Disposal Unit?

A commercial garbage disposal unit is a device, typically powered by electricity, which is installed under a sink and used to shred food waste into small pieces. The shredded food waste can then safely pass through the plumbing and drain system, thus avoiding a clogged-up drain.

With the help of a kitchen waste disposal unit, food-service staff can easily prerinse dirty dishes before placing and storing them in an industrial-type dishwasher.

A Brief History of the Kitchen Sink Waste Disposal

Modern commercial waste disposal units can trace their origins to as early as 1927 when an architect, John W. Hames, invented a basic version. Hammes, after several years of development, decided to put his commercial food waste disposer on the market for consumers to purchase, under his In-Sink-Erator company.

After a few years on the market, the kitchen waste disposal system was successfully adopted by the restaurant industry. Nowadays, restaurant garbage disposal units can be found everywhere and are must-haves for any kind of food-service establishment. Thanks to this efficient system of disposing of food-based garbage, commercial food waste disposal has improved by leaps and bounds throughout the years. A good thing about adopting an efficient restaurant waste disposal system is that it reduces the overall amount of food-based garbage going to landfills.

What to Consider When Purchasing a Waste Disposal Kitchen Unit

One thing to consider is that a waste disposal kitchen unit can come in various types and models. For instance, commercial kitchen sink waste disposal units can be a stand-alone model that can work in combination with a prerinse unit. This type of waste disposal commercial units is typically utilized in large cafeterias and restaurants.

Another important factor to consider when purchasing a garbage disposal commercial unit is whether you will need a light-duty version or a heavy-duty version for your establishment. Bigger food-service establishments and restaurants that need to process a lot of food-based waste will require a larger and more heavy-duty waste disposal commercial unit while smaller food-service establishments can make do with the light-duty versions.
