Tips to Choose a Garbage Disposal

We know that a home garbage disposal is often installed in the drain outlet of the kitchen sink, which can easily crush food waste such as vegetable and leftovers etc., and discharge them into the sewer. So, it is a good helper for housewives. Then how to choose a suitable garbage disposal? Today let us to get to know it from below aspects.

 

1. Volume 

 

Usually the volume of home waste disposer is directly proportional to the size of the grinding chamber. Generally speaking, the smaller the volume is, the smaller the grinding chamber space is, and it easily leads to slow grinding speed and lasts long time. So, it not only wastes time, but also shortens the service life of the product. On the contrary, household waste disposal with large volume is better. As long as the height does not exceed 35cm, the larger the volume of food waste disposer is, the faster its grinding time is.

 

 

2. Weight

 

Generally the heavier the home garbage disposer is, the greater the load on the sink is and the shorter the service life is. The reason is that the motor will rotate and generate vibration when the garbage disposer is working. If the machine is heavier, the range of vibration is larger and the sound is louder. So the load of the sink will be greater, and even a fall event may occur. Secondly, the garbage disposal is locked with the sink when it is installed, and the frequency of vibration is directly transmitted to the sink when it works, which affects the service life of the sink.

 

 

3. Power

 

When people select an electrical appliance, they often see the power of the machine. Because a good garbage disposal not only can save power energy, but also can be used for longer time. Of course, the cost of waste disposer is also determined by the grinding time. The shorter the grinding time is, the more the energy is saved.

 

 

4. Noise

 

When choose kitchen garbage disposal, the noise emitted is a factor that must be considered. Usually the sound of home waste disposal is decided by the motor type and material, not the power of the food garbage processor. Generally, a waste disposer that uses an AC motor has a much lower working volume than a product that uses a DC permanent magnet motor, and the power will be more powerful. The quality of the shock absorption and sound insulation board and insulation board will also cause the difference in sound level.

 

5. Motor idling revolutions

 

The idling speed of the motor and the grinding speed are determined by the number of revolutions and the grinding area when the motor works. The idling speed of the DC motor is about 4000 rpm (when it works under load, the idling speed is about 2800 rpm), and the idling speed of the AC motor is often less than 1800 rpm (load does not exceed 1000 rpm), so the noise of the DC motor is slightly greater than that of the AC motor during idling.
