ABSTRACT:
An improved waste material handling system includes a plurality of waste food disposer units which are operable to disintegrate waste food materials to form a slurry. The system also includes a pulper unit which is operable to disintegrate solid waste materials, such as paper, cardboard boxes, plastic bags, etc., to form a slurry. The waste material slurry is conducted from the waste food disposer units and pulper unit to a press which extracts water from the slurry. To prevent the discharge of waste material slurry from an active one of the waste food disposer units to an inactive one of the waste food disposer units and/or the pulper unit, check valves are associated with each of the waste food disposer units and the pulper unit. A pump is also associated with each of the waste food disposer units and the pulper unit to promote a flow of slurry from the units to the press. Eductors having jet assist nozzles are advantageously utilized to direct a flow of fluid toward the inlet of the pumps associated with the waste food disposer units to promote a flow of slurry from an associated waste food disposer unit to the pump. The amount of water required during operation of the system tends to be minimized by utilizing a pump to supply the eductors with water removed from the waste material slurry by the press. Since it is contemplated that the waste food disposer units may be activated at different times, control valves are provided to enable the water from the press to be directed to only an eductor which is associated with an active waste food disposer unit.
