Novameta Integrated Waste Chute Above Door

An integrated waste chute above the door removes food waste and packaging directly from the worktop without occupying floor space or interrupting workflow.

The chute relies on gravity to guide waste from the opening at counter height down to a collection container below. No motor, fan or moving parts are involved; the design ensures that waste drops vertically, avoiding blockages that can occur in angled or narrow systems. This principle keeps the chute simple, silent and maintenance-free during operation.

To use the chute, the operator opens the flap at worktop level, deposits the waste, and closes the flap. The waste falls through the vertical shaft into a bin or compactor positioned beneath the door frame. The flap seals the opening when not in use, preventing odours, pests and heat loss from escaping into the kitchen.

The construction is a vertical shaft integrated into the wall or cupboard above the door. The flap at the top is the only visible part in the kitchen, leaving the worktop clear for food preparation.

Cleaning involves wiping the flap and the inside of the shaft with a damp cloth. No disassembly is required, as the chute has no corners or crevices where debris can accumulate.

The chute is designed for installation above standard kitchen doors, fitting into the space between the door frame and the ceiling without structural modification.

Novameta places this integrated waste chute in its hygiene and workflow accessories range for professional kitchens.
