How does the shredder for the shell work?

Food waste is delivered to the chopper system through the inlet, which is connected in a special way to the sink. The built-in disk, due to its rotation, imparts centrifugal resistance to the waste, as a result of which they enter the crushing chamber and the process of their grinding begins.

From a crushing chamber, waste materials, reduced to a size of pieces of not more than 3 mm, enter the sewage system. Due to the flow of water in parallel with the process of grinding, the occurrence of blockages in the pipe is almost completely eliminated. The user controls the device thanks to the built-in switch.

Important! The shredder of food waste is absolutely safe to use, due to the automatic engine stop when diagnosing an obstacle. Thus, if a foreign object of a rigid structure penetrates into the chopper system, it will cease its activity until the malfunction is eliminated.
