macerator
Waste disposal shredder
A macerator is a device that grinds or softens material by soaking or crushing.
In plumbing, a macerator toilet pulverizes waste so it can pass through narrow pipes—useful in basements or renovations where standard drainage isn't possible.
In food processing, macerators break down fruit or vegetables.
The verb is macerate: Macerate the berries in sugar overnight.
