Hobart FD4/50-1 Garbage Disposer w/ Short Upper Housing - 1/2 HP, 208-240/480v/3ph

The Hobart FD4/50-1 garbage disposer is built for commercial kitchens that demand durability, efficiency, and longevity. Designed for light-duty applications, this 1/2 HP, 3-phase unit (208-240/480V) boasts a heavy-duty aluminum grind and discharge housing, ensuring robust performance even in high-traffic environments. Its stationary shredder ring is equipped with four machine-ground primary-action breaker bars and 42 secondary-action grinding teeth, delivering superior food waste breakdown to prevent drain blockage—a critical factor in maintaining hygienic and compliant commercial plumbing systems. The Ni-Resist flywheel, featuring two hardened, replaceable stainless steel cutter blocks, resists wear and tear, while the continuous-duty motor with permanently lubricated ball bearings offers smooth, reliable operation. Additionally, a manual-reset thermal overload protector safeguards the unit against overheating, minimizing downtime and extending lifespan. Ideal for restaurants, catering kitchens, and institutional facilities, the Hobart FD4/50-1 combines power, durability, and ease of maintenance, making it a top choice for commercial garbage disposal needs. Its short upper housing design also ensures compatibility with standard 7-inch ID throat-opening cones, simplifying installation and retrofitting in existing systems.
