Abstract
An apparatus and a method for treating organic waste, like the waste that is eliminated in kitchens, foresee containing the waste () to be treated, grinding the waste, compacting the ground waste and exerting a squeezing action to remove residual liquids. A screw device () is foreseen which rotates inside a casing () around a longitudinal axis to convey and compact the ground waste against a closure () which moves during compacting. A solution for cleaning the apparatus is also foreseen to remove remaining any waste, when the apparatus needs to stay empty for longer periods of inactivity.
