Abstract
A recycling appliance is for processing non-organic recyclable materials and organic materials. The recycling appliance includes a non-organic processing assembly configured to receive, process and store the non-organic recyclable materials. An organic processing assembly is spaced apart from the non-organic processing assembly. The organic processing assembly is configured to receive, process and store the organic materials. A housing assembly is configured to house the non-organic processing assembly and the organic processing assembly.
Claims20
A recycling appliance for processing non-organic recyclable materials and organic materials, the recycling appliance comprising:
- a non-organic processing assembly being configured to receive, process and store the non-organic recyclable materials;
- an organic processing assembly being spaced apart from the non-organic processing assembly, and the organic processing assembly being configured to receive, process and store the organic materials;
- and
- a housing assembly being configured to house the non-organic processing assembly and the organic processing assembly;
- and
- a shredder section being in communication with an input section, and the shredder section being configured to receive and shred the non-organic recyclable materials received from the input section, and generate a shredded recyclable material;
- the organic processing assembly including an organic waste-treatment unit being configured to dehydrate the organic waste received from an organic-material input module;
- and
- the organic waste-treatment unit being configured to:
- receive wet organic waste material;
- and
- convert the wet organic waste material that was received into a processed organic waste;
- and
- wherein the organic waste-treatment unit includes:
- a conveyor assembly, including:
- a first conveyor belt;
- a second conveyor belt;
- a third conveyor belt;
- and
- a fourth conveyor belt;
- wherein:
- the first conveyor belt, the second conveyor belt, the third conveyor belt, and the fourth conveyor belt are stacked one over the other along a vertical direction;
- the second conveyor belt is spaced apart from the first conveyor belt;
- the third conveyor belt is spaced apart from the first conveyor belt;
- and
- the fourth conveyor belt is spaced apart from the first conveyor belt.
