Simplifying Waste Management
DownWaste provides state-of-the-art garbage chutes for hygienic and efficient waste disposal in apartments, commercial buildings, and high-density spaces. Our odor-proof garbage chutes ensure safe, hassle-free waste management, preventing unpleasant smells and promoting a cleaner, healthier environment.
Garbage Chutes Structure
Although waste disposal often means simply removing garbage, sustainable household waste management can add long-term value for building operators and residents. Proper chute design ensures hygiene, safety, and operational efficiency.
IMPROVED HYGIENE
To prevent odors and bacterial growth, our systems integrate automated cleaning technology, including brushes, flushing systems, and disinfectant injection. This results in a cleaner and more hygienic waste management process.
INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY
By minimizing manual waste collection, staff can focus on more productive and essential tasks, improving overall operational efficiency.
SOUND INSULATION
Our chutes operate quietly due to:
Anti-vibration rubber pads.
Sound-dampening paint.
Aluminum foil and fiberglass wool insulation.
SAFETY FIRST
Fire-rated door assemblies:
E120, EI60, UL 10B 90-minute.
Automatic electric strike locks.
User-friendly control units for safe, efficient, and reliable operation.
EMERGENCY STOP BUTTON
The emergency stop button ensures an immediate shutdown in the event of an emergency. The durable push-button pendant features low-voltage wiring with strain relief for reliable, long-lasting operation.
DURABLE PUSH BUTTON PENDANT
Our trash chute pendants feature low-voltage push buttons with positive action and a molded strain-relief wire for enhanced durability and ease of use. Each unit also features a sanitizing liquid tank with a dosing pump that automatically injects degreaser and disinfectant into the water flow, keeping garbage chutes clean and odor-free.
MAINTENANCE CONTROL AND BRUSH SYSTEM
The secondary pendant allows manual lifting/lowering of the brush.
Robust rubber cylindrical housing with stiff nylon brushes, powered by a geared electric motor.
Cleans the interior thoroughly, maintaining hygiene and bacterial control.
FLUSHING SYSTEM AND ODOR CONTROL
A flushing spray head, positioned at the top of the building garbage chute and on each floor, disperses a cleaning solution down the chute’s interior. This system effectively controls odors and bacteria, ensuring a smell-proof and hygienic waste disposal process.
SAFETY INTERLOCKING MECHANISM
The interlocking mechanism ensures doors cannot open until cleaning cycle is complete.
Reliable, safe, and hygienic operation.
