Franke TE-45S Elite Slimline 1/2 HP Kitchen Sink Food Waste Disposal Unit

The Franke TE-45S Elite Slimline is a powerful continuous feed food waste disposal unit, designed to liquify food waste effortlessly at the touch of a button. Featuring a high-torque dual permanent magnet motor, it delivers instant grinding power for smooth, reliable operation in busy modern kitchens.

With a compact slimline design, the TE-45S is ideal for installations with limited under-sink space while still offering a generous 660ml grinding chamber capacity. The advanced Torque Master® grinding system combines computer-balanced components to provide superior grind speed, long service life, and reduced risk of jamming.

For hygiene and convenience, the unit includes a removable splash guard for easy cleaning and BIO SHIELD® antimicrobial protection, which helps prevent odour-causing bacteria growth inside the disposer. The attached power cord allows for quick plug-and-play installation, while Franke’s 3-Bolt Mount System enables fast replacement of existing compatible disposers.

Backed by a 10-year manufacturer’s warranty, the Franke TE-45S delivers long-term performance, durability, and peace of mind.
