The present invention is directed to provide an apparatus which is capable
of continuously and effectively shattering wastes including organic
substances and even such wastes as including fat or other doggy
substances suspended in a water, without obstructing an operation of the
apparatus. The apparatus comprises a cylindrical vertical housing having
annular passages partitioned by adjacent two or more substantially
concentric cylindrical walls, a water injection device which produces a
pressurized water flow so as to supply high-speed water flows
tangentially into the annular passages, and a nozzle which is disposed in
any one of the cylindrical walls so as to supply a slurry including
organic substance particulates into the high-speed water flows and thus
untrafinely shatters the organic granular substances into particulates
having the size of a few micrometers by cavitation effect and/or shearing
effect produced in the high-speed water flows. As the nozzle may be used
a vertical slot formed by piercing the cylindrical wall.
