Abstract
A cart-mounted or counter-top-mounted cabinet encloses a processing flask assembly located in an upwardly opening tub portion of the cabinet and which supports a drive motor below the cabinet. A blade-mounting impeller in the flask assembly is received on a motor output coupling when the flask assembly is installed in the tub. The motor, when operated, drives the blades in rotation to move and cut waste materials inserted through the open top of the flask. After a batch of waste has been processed, the flask assembly is removed from the tub and the minced and disinfected contents are dumped into suitable waste receivers with absorber material.
