What Size InSinkErator Food Service Disposer is Right For Your Operation?

Feb 25th 2020

To choose the right size InSinkErator food service disposer, it’s important to think about two things:

  • Your volume of waste.
  • What you are disposing.

How Much Will Go Into Your InSinkErator Food Service Disposer?

First, the volume of food that the disposer will handle narrows down your choice quite a bit. InSinkErator Commercial Disposers range from:

  • small capacity (cafes or fast casual restaurants),
  • to medium capacity (full service restaurants),
  • up to high capacity (large cafeterias or buffets, stadiums, etc.).

Where your operation is on that scale will help give you a starting place for the capacity you need. But then you need to go a step further.

What Will Go Into Your InSinkErator Food Service Disposer?

What you're disposing will have a big impact on the horsepower of the disposer you'll need to buy.

Is it mostly easy to grind foods like fruits and vegetables? Or is it heavy foods, including meats and seafood? Or is it a mixture of both? The composition of the food waste must also be considered along with the capacity to find the right disposer for your food service operation.

Here is a chart that outlines the capacity & volume capabilities of each InSinkErator Food Service Disposer model to help you determine which is the one to that will be the proper fit for your needs.
