Even with fancy automatic rubbish bins, the chaotic process of cleaning up in the kitchen can be a messy, frustrating experience. From stray food scraps to lids that won't cooperate, the hassle of waste disposal can be a real nuisance. If you're seeking a more hygienic, convenient solution for your kitchen, Franke has the answer.
Franke's Food Waste Disposer offers a sophisticated design that allows for easy installation under the sink without taking up much space. Equipped with a permanent magnet motor, the Turbo Elite series – offered in two models: the Turbo Elite Slimline TE-75S and the Turbo Elite TE-125 – can reach speeds of 2,700 to 2,800 rpm, nearly twice as fast as standard induction motor units.
This high-speed, high-torque operation enables the disposer to shred and pulp food waste into small pieces, flushing it directly through the water drains and reducing the waste volume coming from your home. This process releases 85% of the water trapped in the food waste, eliminating potential clogs.
The Food Waste Disposer utilises a torque master grinding system with balanced turntables, armatures and corrosion-proof components, resulting in quieter operation, less vibration, longer lifetime, and faster grinding of food waste.
Food waste in the kitchen not only creates mess but also poses the risk of unpleasant odours and hygiene issues. In warm and humid places like Hong Kong, fish, meat and dairy products can quickly spoil, leading to the proliferation of germs and insects. To address these concerns, the Disposer incorporates "Bio Shield" antimicrobial agents that are permanently moulded into its internal "wet" components. This feature effectively prevents the growth of odour-causing bacteria, promoting a healthier environment.
Additionally, the Disposer is powered by Franke's permanent magnet motor, which requires less electricity compared to induction motors. The faster grinding speed not only saves time but also reduces water usage.
Safety Comes First
The Turbo Elite series from Franke features a one-touch operation that utilises air pressure to turn the food waste disposer on and off. The air travels from the button, through the air tube, and into the air switch inside the disposer, ensuring safe usage even with wet hands.
Franke has designed their food waste disposers to be highly durable. They use superior polyamide for the hoppers, a synthetic polymer for the drain housings and stainless-steel grinding components, which together protect the disposer from the risks of corrosion, extending its lifespan.
The Franke food waste disposer also boasts a 3-bolt mount system, which allows for fast, easy, and economical installation using just a screwdriver. Additionally, the disposer comes with removable splash guards, making it simple to clean or replace. Users can even remove the splash guards to quickly dispose of large batches of food waste.
The presence of overvoltage, overload and high-temperature protection mechanisms in the Franke food waste disposer offers users reassurance during operation. If the disposer encounters overload or abnormal voltage, it will automatically shut down to ensure user safety and extend the machine's lifespan. Once the issue is resolved, users can manually activate the protective switch to restart the disposer, restoring normal operation.
