When was your company established?
It’s named after the invention ‘in-sink’ food waste disposal system by its founder John W. Hammes’ back in 1927. InSinkErator was established in Wisconsin, USA and acquired in 1968 by Emerson Electric Co.
How many people are employed by your company?
The company employs over 1,400 people in its Middle East offices and 132,000 worldwide.
What is the company’s annual turnover?
Emerson’s sales in the last fiscal year was US $24.7 billion.
What is your company vision?
The importance of cleanliness and hygiene in a restaurant kitchen is paramount, and Emerson understands this. Leveraging our line of food waste disposers across today’s restaurants, the objective is helping restaurants drive a reduction of food waste, using scraps to create biosolids or biogas as part of a modern waste management approach.
What are your core products and services for the hospitality industry?
InSinkErator, a business unit of Emerson, manufactures food waste disposers, both for household and commercial applications. It also offers pulper systems and dispensing technology for hot, cold and chilled water.
What new products have you launched recently?
Some of the latest products offered by InSinkErator include the Waste Xpress (WX-300), a waste reduction system that can process solid and liquid food waste. The system can grind both food waste and paper and plastic waste, which is often mixed with food waste in restaurants.
Following the grinding process, the waste is sent to a dewatering unit that squeezes the liquid out of the waste. The water is sent down the drain into the septic system and the ground waste is bagged and taken away. The process reduces bulk waste volume by 85%. The system is made from stainless steel and can process up to 320kg of kitchen waste.
Another product is the steaming hot water tap, a sink appliance that can dispense water at temperatures ranging from chilled, to cool, to hot water at 98 degrees celsius at the flick of a lever. The hot water dispensers can produce up to 80 cups of near-boiling water in one hour. Since only the amount being dispensed is heated, the system is energy efficient and economical, saving money and time and contributing to an environmentally responsible business.
Additionally, the LC-50 is InSinkErator’s food waste disposer model, designed for light foodservice applications such as delis and fast food operations. The model offers ease and flexibility of use with a stainless steel grind chamber and automatic reversing motor for durability and hassle-free operation.
What do you offer hotels above and beyond their wants?
Today’s consumers have demonstrated a new-found wisdom when it comes to dining out. They read reviews on restaurants before setting out and when they do so, not only do they look at what people say about the food, but they are interested in how the restaurant operates as a whole; from the service to the ambience and the hygiene. Also consumers have placed increasing interest on how the restaurant deals with food waste and how much waste is generated.
