The present invention relates to an apparatus for disposing of food waste, and more particularly, to an apparatus for disposing of food waste which can decompose and ferment the food waste in a shorter time by maintaining temperatures, moisture and air in the interior of a fermentation tank in an optimized condition for activities of fermentation microorganism, to thereby form organic compost and feedstuff or make it extinct, and also can filter an odor or air generated in the fermentation tank. The apparatus comprises a main body including an interior space, a casing and a cover, wherein the casing is provided with an upper portion to be opened and a lower portion having moving wheels for easier movement, and the top of the casing is provided with the cover including an opening and closing lid and a switch pad panel connected to a controller at a predetermined location thereof; a fermentation tank, including the lower portion of a semicircular shape, an interior reaction space, and a connection portion having a plurality of holes that are integrally formed at the upper portion thereof, wherein a double exhaust door is attached at the forward side of the connection portion of a tank body, and an outlet is provided with an exhaust lid, and a fermentation tank cover having an entrance of the waste food is provided at the top of the tank body; an agitator, including a central driving pipe shaft which is mounted to be rotatable to shaft holes, and an impeller integrally disposed on the central driving pipe shaft, wherein the central driving pipe shaft is associated with a circular auxiliary support having a plurality of fixed holes into which bolts are screw-connected, and the impeller is integrally formed with a vertical auxiliary support; a power transfer part, including a driving motor, a chain gear and a chain belt, wherein the chain gear installed at the rotational axle of the driving motor is provided with the chain belt via the chain gear installed at the central driving pipe shaft, in order to transfer a rotational force to the agitator; an air suction part, including an air suction pipe which is disposed at one side of the upper portion of the fermentation tank cover, an air suction fan for compulsorily sucking in air from the outside, to which a rectangular filter portion having a filter is connected, a reverse-flow check valve connected to the other side of the rectangular filter portion, and a purified air emission tube, of which the end passes through the fermentation tank cover to be drawn into the inside of the fermentation tank; a sterilization part, including an ozone generator which is disposed at one side of the upper portion of the fermentation tank cover and is connected to an air supply through an ozone pipe, and an ozone emission tube of which the end is connected to a predetermined position of the purified air emission tube; a temperature supply part, including a ceramic heater rod mounted at the inside of the central driving pipe shaft, an insulator disposed along the outer surface of the fermentation tank, and a hot-wire heater placed between the fermentation tank and the insulator; an air emitting part, including an exhaust vent having a rectangular shape, which is designed to be projected at the right side of the fermentation tank cover so that the gas and moisture generated in the fermentation tank are gathered at a projected upper portion thereof, and an exhaust pipe, connected to the exhaust vent, for compulsorily emitting the gas in the fermentation tank; a deodorizer for filtering the air emitted from the air emitting part; and a controller for controlling the supply of power and driving conditions of respective elements. |
