<p>A floor mounted de-watering spin chamber (22) is connected with a kitchen disposer-grinder (12) for de-watering and collecting ground food scraps that are suitable for garden composts. The spin chamber contains a perforated rotary spin basket (33) and has a rigid lid (20) with a rigid inlet tube (18) insertable in a rigid body so that only one latch is necessary to hold the lid securely on the spin chamber. A diverter valve (16) operated by a manual knob (20) controls the discharge of water and solid material from the disposer-grinder selectively through the spin chamber or a drainpipe and the knob also controls a switch (86) for an electric motor (52) driving the spin basket. The drain pipe may also receive water and solid material from a second sink which is not equiped with a disposer-grinder and which material is not treated by the present apparatus, a baffle (100) in a pipe connection fitting preventing such material from backing up into the spin chamber.</p> |
