Food Waste Composting
Machines
There is a growing concern about the increasing volume of food waste and the food waste disposal into the landfill. The municipalities are aiming to reduce the landfill space, thereby creating the need to reduce and reuse. The food loss and waste also aggravate the climate change crisis with its significant greenhouse gas (GHG) footprint. Production, transportation, and handling of food generates significant Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions and when food ends up in landfills, it generates Methane, an even more potent greenhouse gas.
To avoid food waste from being disposed into the landfill, the first step is segregating the food waste at the source. The food handlers to be made aware and trained to do so. There are various methods by which the food waste can be repurposed.
We propose the composting method, by which the food waste (pre-cooked and post-cooked, excluding large bones, shells and fruit pits) can be reduced by 80-90% in 24-48hours, depending on the type of food waste and converted into a biomass, which can be used as soil enhancer. It is recommended to add the landscape waste preferably dried leaves or shredded leaves, along with the food waste to balance the carbon/nitrogen ratio, to achieve optimum composting results.
The composting machine composts the food waste using energy-efficient and automated control process. The system employs high temperature microbes (embedded in sawdust), to decompose food waste. This is accomplished without the need for repeated additions of microbes. We offer composting machines with wide range of input capacities, starting from 25kgs of food waste per day to over tons of food waste per day. The composting machines are suitable for residential, hospitality, shopping malls, schools, colleges and commercial businesses. The machines are convenient to use and environmentally safe.
