Installation
Site Inspection
The SSG food waste processing system consists of a slow speed grinder to macerate a
combination of 70% food and 30% paper. The waste is mixed with water to produce a slurry.
The slurry is pumped to a waterpress that separates the water producing a semi-dry pulp. The
water is recirculated to a feed trough system as the pulp is discharged into the customer's
waste containers.
SSG close-coupled (SSG-C): The grinder, slurry tank, recirculation tank, pumps, waterpress
form a single unit. The main control cabinet is wall-mounted with an umounted start/stop
station.
SSG Remote (SSG-R): The grinder and slurry tank form one unit and the recirculation tank,
recirc pump, and waterpress form the second unit. The main control cabinet is wall-mounted
with an umounted start/stop station.
