History of the InSinkErator

In the year 1927, the world’s first food waste disposal unit was invented by Wisconsin architect, John W. Hammes. The first creation by Hammes was born out of a sheet of metal and a small motor. Over the following years, he perfected the design and in 1983 the InSinkErator brand was born.

During the rock and roll years, the company expanded the product line and footprint to a 75,000 square foot facility in Racine, Wisconsin. In 1953 Hammes died and his son took over introducing the Model 77, featuring a 5-year warranty and assembled a network of independent service representatives.

1968, the InSinkErator was acquired by globally renowned technology and engineering firm Emerson. Today hundreds of thousands of units are being sold to households all over the USA and England.

1973 the first instant hot water tap was bought out by InSinkErator and 1978 the plant had grown to 388,000 square feet.

1993 saw an incredible milestone in the company’s history with the millionth food waste disposer rolling off the production line.

The new millennium was filled with promise and in 2001 the engineering group created innovative new ideas. 2004 the market presence had expanded to 80 countries, with new subsidiaries opening in Mexico, Japan and China. By 2006 the high-performance Evolution Line was launched with its revolutionary sound and grind technologies.

2013, Ashley Munden was appointed Managing Director in Europe, which saw the hot water tap market rapidly develop. The 3N1 was launched in 2014 and the 4N1 in 2018.

Their aim is to carry on innovating new ideas for another 80 years and many more.

So… what is the InSinkErator?

The InSinkErator is a compact, circular and highly powerful unit that sits discreetly underneath the kitchen sink in a cupboard, it can be integrated seamlessly into your existing plumbing system too. It grinds solid food waste into tiny particles that will flush away into your wastewater system.

How does it work?

For the food waste disposer to work, all you need is a power supply and a wastewater pipe to connect to. Turn on the tap, switch on the unit and scrape your food waste down the specially modified plughole. As the food passes into the main chamber, a specially designed grinding system is below breaking the waste down into flushable particles.

Why should you get one

The InSinkErator is much more than a gadget or timesaver, it will make life that little bit easier. When the food is redirected to the same treatment plants that the wastewater goes to, it can yield valuable biogas, as well as soil nutrients that can be used in fertiliser for the agricultural industry.

What can I put into the food waste disposer?

The mechanism is tough enough for almost anything, there’s very little food, hard or soft that it can’t handle. Bones from chicken, prawn shells, eggshells and fruit pips and stones will grind down easily too. Suprised?

The Evolution series of food disposers are the most advanced on the market. They are quiet, yet very powerful. Unlike many other food disposers on the market, they can grind stringy and fibrous food items like banana peel and rhubarb quickly and easily. This bit of kit also features multi-stage grinding technology that ensures an extremely fine grind, so you don’t need to worry about blockages.

Food waste items that shouldn’t be put down:

  • Bones that are too big to fit down the plughole easily
  • Oyster shells – the coating on them can settle in your plumbing system
  • Grease, oils and fats should not be put down the food waste disposer let alone the sink!
