Description
Processes up to 20kg food waste/day, accepting all kinds of food waste with the exception of bulk oils or large meat bones.
The process is continuous, so food waste can be loaded at any time, up to the daily capacity.
Within 24-hours the food waste is reduced by 80-90% and converted into a nutrient-rich resource, suitable for use on lawns, vegetable gardens and most garden beds.
Used to capacity the CLO10 will divert around 7 tons of food waste from landfill and produce around 1 ton of soil conditioner.
Operating Principles
The process uses a combination of microbes, heat, agitation and air flow within an enclosed chamber to process the food waste.
The application of heat means the material is pasteurised, destroying harmful bacteria such as E.coli, salmonella and campylobacter.
The unit is offloaded weekly, with approx. 1/3 of the material being left in the unit as starter material for the next load of food waste (ie. the unit is never completely emptied so the microbial material is not an ongoing expense).
