Abstract

PURPOSE: To separate a foreign matter, such as a spoon, etc. and prevent the damage of a disposer by a method wherein water is injected into a tank with a reservoir for the foreign matter, garbage is agitated, and carried out by means of a conveyor device, and the foreign matters are settled, in a separating device for the foreign matter in the garbage from a dining room, etc.

CONSTITUTION: Garbage is charged into a tank 1, water is injected from a nozzle 13 with air mixed from a suction pipe 13a, the garbage is agitated and floated, and a foreign matter with large specific gravity, such as a spoon, etc. is settled in a reservoir 1a. The gerbage is agitated by the intermittent injection of water by means of a nozzle 12 mounted to the reservoir 1a for the foreign matter, separated from a heavy foreign matter, once dipped up obliquely by means of a bucket conveyor device A, and charged into a hopper 14a of a disposer, which is located in water and opens to an oblique portion located higher than the reservoir 1a for the foreign matters. Water and crushed garbage are centrifugally separated. Thus, the mixing of the heavy foreign matters into the disposer is prevented. Injecting water also does not overflow because the hopper of the disposer is located in water.
