Mounting systems for waste disposers such as food waste disposers, waste disposers employing such systems, and related methods are disclosed herein. In one example embodiment, a mounting system includes a tubular structure extending between first and second ends, and an enclosure structure configured to be able to support, at least indirectly, the waste disposer. Further, the mounting system includes an elastomeric member coupled to each of the tubular structure, the enclosure structure, and the waste disposer. Additionally, the mounting system includes one or more backup support features that is or are configured to enable the enclosure structure and the waste disposer to be supported relative to the tubular structure when the elastomeric member is unable unilaterally to provide a desired support level of the enclosure structure and the waste disposer relative to the tubular structure.

Disposer mounting system and method

Grinding sections for food waste disposers, food waste disposers having grinding sections, and methods of manufacturing food waste disposers having grinding sections are disclosed herein. The grinding sections include an internal wall having a plurality of projections extending into the food receiving area. Grinding inserts are attached to each projection. The grinding sections may be made by molding the grinding section housing with the projections and attaching the grinding inserts into the projections.

Grinding mechanism for food waste disposer

Mounting systems for waste disposers such as food waste disposers, waste disposers employing such systems, and related methods are disclosed herein. In one example embodiment, a mounting system includes a tubular structure extending between first and second ends, and an enclosure structure having an additional end, where the enclosure structure is configured to be able to support, at least indirectly, the waste disposer. Further, the mounting system includes an elastomeric member extending between the second end and the additional end, where the elastomeric member is coupled to each of, and serves to couple, the tubular structure and the enclosure structure. Additionally, the mounting system includes a plurality of backup linkage members, where each of the plurality of backup linkage members couples at least indirectly, and is integrally formed or molded with at least one of, the tubular structure and the enclosure structure.
