Somat - Model D-5 -Food Waste Grinder
The Somat D-5 Food Waste Grinder is one part of a Remote Pulping System. Somat food grinders are engineered to process food waste and are typically placed in pot and pan washing and food prep areas. Standard features include a 5 HP drive motor and return pump. The main benefits of a Somat Remote Pulping System are Reduction and Transportation. A remote system connects food prep and scrapping areas together through a series of piping and transports food service waste to a remote extractor. The extractor removes the solids (pulp) and recirculates the water back to the grinding tanks. The pulping process provides an 8 to 1 volume reduction (up to 85%.) The pulp is fed into a Somat Dehydrator for additional reduction or directly into a dumpster. A remote pulping system reduces the need for trash cans, liners and laborers to “take out the trash”.
400 pounds per hour of food waste only.
