Abstract: Modular shredding rings for implementation in waste disposers, such as food waste disposers, as well as waste disposers employing such modular shredder rings and related methods of operating and assembling, are disclosed herein. In an example embodiment, a food waste disposer includes a food conveying section, a motor section, and a grinding section that are all supported by or formed within a housing. The grinding section includes a rotating plate and a modular shredder ring, the modular shredder ring including an annular support structure and a plurality of shredder modules mounted upon or coupled to the annular support structure. Additionally, the respective shredder modules are respectively positioned along respective different portions of a radially-inwardly-facing annular surface of the annular support structure. Further, each of the respective shredder modules includes one or more respective first contacting formations that at least partly define one or more respective first spaces.

Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling an operational status of a waste disposer are disclosed herein. In one example embodiment, a waste disposer assembly includes a waste disposer, a sprayer mechanism, and a switching system. The waste disposer is configured to be supported in relation to a sink. The sprayer mechanism is configured to be supportable in relation to the sink, is coupled at least indirectly to the sink by way of an extendable and retractable linkage, and includes an actuator mechanism that, upon being actuated, causes generation of a control signal. The switching system is supported in relation to the sink, is coupled at least indirectly to each of the sprayer mechanism and disposer, and is configured to operate so that, upon receiving the control signal from the actuator mechanism, a related signal is provided to the disposer causing the disposer to change or take on operational status.
