Integrated Kitchen Waste Crushing and Sorting Machine

Product Overview

The integrated kitchen waste crushing and sorting machine, also known as the hammer-type crushing and sorting machine, is an organic waste pre-processing device that combines crushing and sorting functions in one unit. This equipment eliminates the need for manual material sorting beforehand; it relies on high-speed heavy-duty ring hammers to crush materials and uses a screening cylinder to automatically separate biodegradable materials from hard impurities. With processing capacities ranging from 3 to 15 tons per hour, it can handle various types of materials—including kitchen waste, food scraps, fruit and vegetable residues, and agricultural organic waste—performing both crushing and impurity separation tasks, thus providing efficient and convenient front-end solutions for diverse solid waste treatment projects.

Equipment Structure and Components

The entire machine consists mainly of a feed inlet, a crushing chamber, high-speed rotating heavy-duty ring hammer crushing elements, a screening cylinder housing, dual discharge outlets (one for vegetable residues and one for impurities), and an integrated electrical control cabinet. The feed inlet receives mixed organic waste containing various impurities; the crushing chamber serves as the core working area where materials are crushed; the high-speed rotating wear-resistant heavy-duty ring hammers deliver powerful impacts to break down the waste; the screening cylinder housing performs the function of separating and screening materials and impurities; the dual discharge outlets respectively discharge the processed biodegradable materials and the separated hard impurities; and the integrated electrical control cabinet manages the entire process, supporting one-touch start-up and emergency stop operations.

Technical Principle

Mixed kitchen or organic waste enters the crushing chamber directly through the feed inlet without prior manual screening. Inside the machine, high-speed rotating wear-resistant heavy-duty ring hammers deliver powerful impacts to crush the waste. Fresh fruits and vegetables, food scraps, and other brittle, biodegradable materials are broken down and pass through the screening holes of the cylinder, exiting via the vegetable residue outlet to proceed to subsequent processing stages. Harder impurities such as stones, which cannot be crushed, remain trapped within the cylinder and move along its internal structure before being discharged through the impurity outlet, completing both crushing and impurity separation in a single operation. The equipment is controlled by an integrated electrical control cabinet; once started, it automatically completes the entire crushing and sorting process, making operation simple and intelligent.
