A macerator has a housing (10) having an opening which provides access to its interior and a releasably securable lid (18) for releasably closing the opening in the housing. A foot-operated contactless infra red switch (64) is provided at the base of the macerator which is adapted to release a solenoid-operated latch (50) upon completion of the maceration cycle. The macerator also has a rotatable blade mounted within the housing (10). The blade is rotated by means of a three-phase motor. The macerator also has means (52) for converting a single-phase electrical power supply to a three-phase power supply for the motor.
