In-Sink-Erator WXTR-500 is a commercial kitchen waste reduction system that combines a food waste disposer and a dewatering system. The kitchen waste is ground through the disposer and is compressed in the dewaterer. After the waste is compressed, the liquids are recirculated through the system and the solid waste exits the Waste-X-Press at approximately 15% of its original volume. This system minimizes loading on the sewer system by removing solids from the discharge, and has a water consumption of less than one gallon per minute because it recirculates water internally.
