Organics Recycling System

Service Manual

Introduction

The InSinkErator

®

 Grind2Energy

 Organics 

Recycling System is a non-sewer waste handling 
system that processes food waste through a 
specially designed Grind2Energy grinder. 
The food waste is ground, then transferred to 
an on-site holding tank where it is stored until 
ready for pickup from a liquid waste hauler 
for transport to an anaerobic digester where 
it is converted into renewable energy such as: 
electricity, heat, or Compressed Natural Gas 
(CNG).

This Service Manual is intended for Authorized 
Serve Agents of Grind2Energy and its 
Technicians only. The intention of this manual is 
to give the service Tech the ability to diagnose 
the Grind2Energy Organics Recycling System 
for any problems our customers encounter.  
The process G2E will use is to replace larger 
components of the system (i.e. Grinder, Pump, 
and Controller) as whole components. But in
cases where the small component can be 
replaced with less time, then those components 
will be provided for those replacements. Our 
intent is to recover from a down system, and 
back to a fully operational system with one 
service call. This philosophy is called One-and-
Done, and provides the customer with peace 
of mind that they are supported by the highest 
quality service network possible, offering as little 
system operational down time as is necessary.
