Zorg ZR-56 D

Czech dispenser from China

The Zorg ZR-56 D food waste disposer is presented on the market as a product of a Czech manufacturer, but in fact it has Chinese roots. This is the reason for its low price, although we must pay tribute to the 3-year warranty for this model. The device uses the technology of single-stage disposal of organic waste, followed by the removal of crushed residues through the sewer system. This is one of the "slenderest" and lightest shredders in its class: with dimensions of 401x194 mm, its weight is 5.9 kg. A relatively small chamber where food remains are crushed has a volume of 1070 mL. As a working unit, a crushing disc is used, which, like the working chamber, is made of wear-resistant stainless steel, designed for a long service life.

Ability to use remote control

The permanent magnet motor has a power of 0.75 hp. (560 W), which is enough to serve the needs of a family of 3 – 4 people. The motor with automatic power supply protection and overload protection allows you to grind waste at a speed of 2600 rpm. The drive shaft of the motor rotates on bearings that do not need regular lubrication. The disadvantages of soundproofing the crushing chamber are expressed in the noisy operation of the plumbing fixture (60 dB). The model is mounted on a sink with a diameter of 3 1/2" (90 mm) outlet and is operated by a pneumatic button that comes with the package. If desired, the device can be supplemented with a remote control system (option). If you have a small family of 2 people, then you can save a lot on purchasing the younger model of the Zorg ZR-38 D line, equipped with a less powerful 0.5 hp motor. (380 W).
