It's All About The Daily Grind

We have a range of systems, from self-contained grinding and dewatering units in your commercial kitchen to centralized transfer and dewatering units.

We have systems that can feed into one trash can, or you can have up to 8 waste stations feeding into multiple trash cans in a centralized location (such as loading dock) using our innovative vacuum transfer system.

Models and Configuration

Manual Load (ML) and Auto Loading (AL) models are available. The automatic loaders can be custom configured on the left or right side of the machines. The automatic loading units feature a fully integrated hydraulic side loading system. These are suited for larger generators that prefer to automate the transfer and loading process. At the touch of a button, 80 gallon toters/bins are lifted safely without any need for users to manually lift heavy loads of wet food waste. With the addition of our food waste grinding system, we can also automatically load directly into the dehydrator so there is no need to manually separate and handle food waste

Output Handling Options

When your ground up food waste arrives at the centralized location, we have several options available for you, depending on your preferences for reuse and local hauling options:

Outputs as Waste
Dewater Into Trash Cans

Up to 60% moisture removed. The semi-dry pulp is gravity fed into 80-gallon bins that can be collected by our approved haulers nationwide.

Waste Storage Tank

Wet food pulp can be pumped out and hauled away by our approved haulers nationwide.

Outputs as Resources
Bio-Dehydrator

Creates a biologically stabilized 90% volume reduced output that can be stored for extended periods before being collected. The biomass is a dry, fertilizer-like product.

Bio-Digester

Creates a liquefied output that is disposed of down your sanitary line. Please note that this option is not available in all areas, secondly, it may also increase trade waste-related service costs but can be ideal in certain environments.
