For the problems of low efficiency and low use rate of intelligent technology in the high-traffic restaurants’ plate recovery process, this study proposes the implementation of fully automated mechanization using gravity sensing technology on the plate of the flipping & tipping, and the multi-functional intelligent plate recycling machine using oil-water separation technology for slop and oil separation as the core function. Throughout the cleaning process, the device avoids direct contact with the residue, ensuring the cleanliness of the device. In addition, the residue is deposited in the storage barrel without causing secondary pollution, making it recyclable for secondary use. The device offers clean, fast, convenient and safe functions, which greatly improves the hygienic standard of cafeteria dining, playing an important role in the classification and recycling of after-meal trays and the recycling of food waste.
