Garbage disposal is always a challenge for restaurants and hotels. The garbage crushers manufactured by Mumbai headquartered Infed Systems are effective tools in managing this function, turning waste food to beer bottles into fine particles for disposal through the drain By Sudipta Dev
Established in 1994, Mumbai headquartered Infed Systems specialises in manufacturing waste shredders and crushers. The products of the company range from domestic garbage crushers to municipal waste shredders. Most of the equipment are ideal for commercial kitchens in hotels and restaurants. The range of machines can handle from 50 to more than 1800 covers, with the option of customised units. “We are into manufacturing of garbage crusher machine, which is used in hotels, banquet halls and corporate institutions. They have to install the machine in the kitchen and whatever garbage is generated is crushed and disposed by the machine. There is no need to put garbage in the bins in the kitchen,” says Raju Parekh, managing director, Infed Systems, adding that he came up with the product more than 20 years ago, but it is only now that people have started understanding the concept of waste disposal in a proper manner.
The garbage crusher ensures that the kitchen is in a hygienic condition as the garbage is reduced to fine particles in the machine and flushed out. These particles go directly to drainage pipelines. Acknowledging the fact that many hotels segregate the garbage, Parekh mentions, “In this case only biodegradable items and dry garbage is put in the machine. No plastic or paper should be put in the garbage disposer machine.”
Parekh feels that prime minister, Narendra Modi’s focus on clean India campaign has given a fillip to the cleanliness concept for which his machines are great contributors. “Since last two decades Infed Systems has been manufacturing the product and selling it across India. It is, however, only in recent times that we have been getting excellent response,” points out Parekh. The company is also working with many government agencies, like municipal corporations. Machines are also been given to dispose off municipal solid waste. Infed Systems is also supplying the machine to Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) for their biogas plant.
The company manufacturers different waste disposal units for different products – for instance, beer bottle crusher, pet bottle crusher. They are also making recyclable shredders which can have other usages as well. The pet bottle crusher is useful to hotels and restaurants, from small eateries to large establishments. “We have a range starting from 1.5 HP to 7.5 HP. The electricity consumed is negligible. In fact full day if you use the machine, the electricity consumption will be below one unit,” states Parekh, adding that in the near future he would like to export his range of products.
Other equipment include a garden waste shredder (manufactured according to technical specifications of clients). There is also a premium quality fish shredder for hotels and also a chicken shredding machine. It also supplies an easy to use and low maintenance food waste disposer. The machines are constructed from stainless steel to ensure continuous usage in strenuous conditions even in commercial kitchens. Even if heavy usage is done, food matter like bones is cut and crushed easily. The grinding elements are manufactured from specially hardened steel alloys for long operations.
