A large canteen, a hotel or a catering business generates significant volumes of organic kitchen waste every day. A 1000 kg/day food waste composting machine turns this waste into usable compost within 24 hours, with no unpleasant odor, no leachate liquids and none of the transport and disposal costs of a licensed organic waste operator.
A 1000 kg/day food waste composting machine with an integrated deodorization system and automatic control is the solution for high-volume HoReCa businesses that want to reduce their waste management bill and obtain compost usable in gardens or delivered locally. See the full range of recycling equipment and the solutions for organic waste.
• Capacity of 1,000 kg/day, processes the typical volume of a large canteen, a medium-capacity hotel or an institutional catering center in a single daily cycle.
• 24-hour cycle, organic waste loaded in the evening is usable compost by morning, with no prolonged fermentation and no intermediate storage.
• No unpleasant odor, the deodorization system with a biological filter or activated carbon neutralizes odors both inside and outside, essential in public spaces and HoReCa.
• No leachate liquids, the dry or semi-dry composting process produces no leachate, eliminating the cost of treating organic wastewater.
• Compost usable as a soil amendment, the final product is a stable compost, rich in organic content, suitable for gardens, green spaces or local delivery as fertilizer.
• Waste volume reduction of 80 to 90%, the volume of organic waste drops dramatically, reducing the frequency and cost of collections.
• Automatic control, temperature, humidity and ventilation controlled automatically, with alarm and status display.
• Environmental compliance, addresses organic waste management obligations at source, in line with European requirements on biodegradable waste.

A 1000 kg/day food waste composting machine is aimed primarily at HoReCa businesses with high volumes of organic waste: hotels with their own restaurant, hospital, university or factory canteens, event catering centers and high-volume restaurants. At these capacities, the cost of frequent organic waste collections is significant, and the machine turns this recurring cost into an investment that pays for itself.
European regulations on biodegradable waste require reducing the quantities sent to landfill; a 1000 kg/day food waste composting machine delivered in Europe is designed in accordance with the requirements of Directive 2008/98/EC on waste. For integration into a complete organic waste management strategy, see also our complete industry solutions.
The compost produced can be put to use in several ways: used in the business's own gardens, donated or sold locally to urban gardens and small farms, or handed over to a compost collector. Even when used internally, the compost reduces the cost of chemical fertilizers and contributes to the business's image of sustainability in front of customers and partners.
Reducing the volume of organic waste by 80 to 90% has a direct impact on the frequency and cost of collections: a business generating 1,000 kg of organic waste daily would need to have it collected several times a week without a composting machine. With composting at source, the residual volume becomes a fraction of that, and the collection frequency drops proportionally, generating continuous logistics savings.
The absence of odor is a non-negotiable argument for businesses in public or residential spaces: a restaurant, hotel or canteen whose organic waste does not smell is a real advantage over the competition. The deodorization system with a biological filter or activated carbon keeps the interior and the surroundings free of unpleasant odors, regardless of the type of scraps processed.
Installation is usually done in the waste management area of the kitchen or the business's storage area, requiring an electrical connection and adequate ventilation. The footprint is smaller than that of an organic waste container of equivalent volume, and the quiet, automatic operation allows integration even in buildings that run around the clock.
A 1000 kg/day food waste composting machine processes a wide range of organic kitchen waste. Non-organic materials (plastic, metal, glass) must not be put into the machine.

1. The organic waste is loaded into the processing chamber throughout the day or in batches.
2. The automatic system starts the cycle: mechanical agitation mixes the waste with a microbial inoculant and adjusts the humidity.
3. The internal temperature rises to 55 to 70°C, ensuring sanitization and accelerating decomposition.
4. The forced ventilation system supplies the oxygen needed by the aerobic bacteria and removes vapors and gases through the deodorization filter.
5. At the end of the 24-hour cycle, the stabilized compost is discharged automatically or manually.
6. The control display confirms cycle completion and readiness for a new batch.
The automatic process does not require specialized technicians; cleaning or kitchen staff can operate the equipment after a short training session included at delivery.
Does the composting process smell inside?
No, if the machine is operated correctly and the deodorization filter is in good condition. The biological or activated carbon filter neutralizes odors before the air is exhausted, keeping the interior free of unpleasant smell. The filters are replaced periodically, according to the operating manual.
What do I do with the compost produced?
The compost can be used in the business's own gardens, donated or sold locally to urban gardens and small farmers, or handed over to an organic compost collector. At some HoReCa businesses, the compost becomes a marketing argument for sustainability.
Can it process bones or oily food?
Soft bones (chicken, fish) can be processed in moderate quantities. Large, hard bones reduce efficiency and can damage the agitation system. Oily food is acceptable in small amounts; in large volumes, oil can inhibit microbial activity. Draining off excess oil before loading is recommended.
How much energy does it use per day?
Energy consumption depends on the model and the moisture of the input, but it is generally comparable to that of a commercial air conditioning unit. The specific consumption is provided at configuration, based on the parameters of your organic waste stream.

Six technology directions we integrate turnkey: from plug & play IIoT sensors, to cobots, predictive maintenance, optical inspection, MES connectivity and custom industrial software.
See in real time how much each machine produces and how long it sits idle. We fit sensors on any equipment, new or old, and within a few hours you have the OEE dashboard on your phone. No complex wiring, no production downtime. The first concrete step toward digitalization, with ROI visible from the very first month.
Solve your labor shortage without tripling your costs. The cobot works safely alongside your people (palletizing, feeding the CNC, welding) while you recover the investment in 12-18 months. Prices 30-40% below European distributors, with installation and programming included from us.
Stop waiting for things to break. Our algorithms analyze sensor data and tell you exactly which part will fail and when, and we bring it to your production line before the breakdown. Zero unplanned downtime, zero contractual penalties, complete operational peace of mind.
Eliminate defects before they reach the customer. Our cameras inspect every part at speeds no operator can match, detecting sub-millimeter defects. They mount onto your existing line, with no modifications. Ideal if you produce for export and have strict quality clauses.
Connect your machines to your office, regardless of brand or age. Our gateway automatically translates the data from any machine into your ERP's format: no manual entry, no paper forms, no human error. The manager sees production live, the operator receives digital instructions.
Have a process that no off-the-shelf software can solve? We build custom industrial applications: from tailored SCADA panels and HMI interfaces, to production planning systems, lot traceability and automated reporting. The code is yours, it runs on your servers, with no monthly subscriptions or vendor lock-in.
