Fecha de publicación: 15/06/2016 Fuente: WIPO Food Portada The present invention relates to a food waste treating apparatus which treats the food waste such that an amount of the food waste is reduced by passing food waste through a drying process and a fermentation process. A food waste treating apparatus according to the present invention includes: a main body including a first drying and fermenting chamber in which food waste flowing in from the injection part is primarily contained such that the food waste is fermented and dried, and a second drying and fermenting chamber in which food waste transferred from the first drying and fermenting chamber is secondly contained such that the food waste is fermented and dried; a food transfer part which transfers the food waste of the first drying and fermenting chamber to the second drying and fermenting chamber, and discharges the food waste of the second drying and fermenting chamber to the outside of the main body; a stirring part which is installed in the main body to stir the food wastes contained in the first and second drying and fermenting chambers; a heating part which heats the food wastes contained in the first and second drying and fermenting chambers such that the food wastes reach temperatures at which the food wastes are easily dried and fermented; exhaust fans which are respectively installed at the first and second drying and fermenting chambers to exhaust gases within the first and second drying and fermenting chambers; pressure sensors which respectively detect internal pressures of the first and second drying and fermenting chambers; and a control part which controls the operation of the exhaust fans from pressure information received from the pressure sensors such that the internal pressures of the first and second drying and fermenting chambers become first and second reference pressures respectively set lower than the atmospheric pressure. Such a food waste treating apparatus provides is capable of not only increasing fermentation efficiency of food waste, but also increasing treatment efficiency by performing a cutting process at the same time when performing a stirring process.
