Abstract

This invention refers to a waste disposal plant for wet garbage, especially for refuse from large-scale kitchens. The wet garbage is transported by compressed air or a partial vacuum from decentralized input stations (30) to a central discharge device (12). A sieve-like collecting funnel (14) is provided there, from which liquid exits to an external collection area (19) and is drained off at intervals. The remaining wet garbage has thus already been largely drained when is passed on for further processing, for instance to a grinder (80) and a water extraction press (90), before being fed for instance to a food refuse silo (94).
