InSinkErator® -- First and Foremost in Food Waste Management

In 1937, John W. Hammes of Racine, Wisconsin, invented the first in-sink food waste disposer, which he called the InSinkErator. Still headquartered in Racine, InSinkErator, a division of Emerson, is the world's largest manufacturer of food waste disposers, innovative food waste management technologies and instant hot water systems.

In foodservice applications, an effective food waste management system is critical in kitchen operational efficiency, profitability and cleanliness. Using food waste disposers will diminish airborne bacteria that are generated by decaying food waste, decrease labor costs, reduce waste hauling fees and improve profitability.  With increasing operational costs and awareness of environmentally friendly performing equipment, products like InSinkErator® disposers and the WasteXpress® system are generally considered the safest and most environmentally sound methods of eliminating food waste.

The InSinkErator line of foodservice products includes:

  • 11 food waste disposers to accommodate a variety of applications
  • The Aqua Saver® system, which can cut disposer water use by up to 70 percent automatically
  • The Waste Xpress food waste reduction system
  • Instant hot water dispensers that can provide up to 100 cups of near-boiling water per hour
  • Compact point-of-use electric water heaters with 2.5-gallon or 4-gallon storage capacities
  • A complete selection of accessories for all InSinkErator products

InSinkErator Food Waste Disposers include a light-duty model suited for convenience stores, fast-food operations and delicatessens. To meet varying demands, InSinkErator offers disposers with small, medium and large capacities that are sized from ½ HP to 10 HP.  All models feature a 6-5/8" throat opening, a stainless steel grind chamber, longer-lasting dual-direction shredding elements and durable, heavy-duty Emerson® motors.

The Aqua Saver Control System automatically saves water!  This water-saving system controls water flow by sensing the load of the disposer and then regulates the amount of water used to automatically provide the right amount for optimum disposer usage.  As a result, water usage by the disposer system is reduced by 70 percent or more. According to a study by Reftelis Financial Consulting, use of Aqua Saver resulted in savings from $1,500 to $4,000 over one year in cities like San Francisco, Boston and Orlando.

The Waste Xpress Food Waste Reduction System is the next generation of pulping systems.  The Waste Xpress will help you decrease labor costs, reduce waste handling charges and increase kitchen efficiency.

The kitchen waste, consisting of food and non-food items (placemats, napkins, straws, etc.), is ground into small particles in the disposer grind chamber.  This ground waste is then transferred to the dewatering unit where the waste is compressed, allowing the liquids to be sent down the drain line and dispensing the solids through the chute into a standard 10-gallon trash can.

This reduces the volume by 85%!

The entire system is extremely compact, can be installed under any standard dish table, can process up to 700 pounds of waste per hour, can be dismantled to be cleaned and does not require the addition of cardboard.

Waste Xpress can "turn ten bags of waste into less than two." Less to haul away means more profit to the bottom line.  The finely ground, semi-dry pulp produced by Waste Xpress is very environmentally friendly and breaks down quickly in landfills.

Point-of-Use Instant Hot Water Dispensers provide 200ºF near-boiling water and can be used to prepare up to 100 cups per hour for tea, coffee, soups and sauces. The instant availability of high-temperature water can dramatically speed up serving time in restaurants, cafeterias, coffee shops and convenience stores.   This system is easy to install and comes with a 115-volt cord.

For hand-wash stations and lavatories, InSinkErator also offers Ultra-System™ dispensers, which instantly deliver 110ºF water. The system heats, stores and dispenses water entirely at the point of use; this eliminates "wait time" for hot water, and installation and energy costs are reduced. The system connects directly to a cold water line and a standard 115-volt outlet.

Point-of-Use Electric Water Heaters are compact for easy installation under a sink or lavatory without long pipe runs. With 2.5-gallon or 4-gallon storage capacity, the units can provide an ample supply of hot water for lavatories and other low-demand foodservice applications.  This system has an adjustable thermostat from 110 to 170 degrees and comes pre-wired with a 115-volt cord and wall- mount bracket.
