WORKING

It is simple and practical because the most unpleasant fraction of the waste stream - the food waste, is being dealt with hygienically on a daily basis. Deposit organic waste at inlet of the machine along with 20% of carbonaceous material (Saw dust) and 0.1% composting culture. The chopper at the inlet chops the material to increase the surface area & make the waste homogenous and will be delivered into the reactor drum.

Heat generated in this process is preserved by providing insulation. The increased temperature kills pathogens and also accelerates the composting process.

The average process time inside the machine is 8-10 days. The aeration and turning is done automatically which means that the natural decomposition process works perfectly from start to finish. The finished compost is automatically sent out to the collection bag provided at the rear of the machine. When the compost bag is full, remove it and replace it with another bag. The composting process takes place in an in-vessel composting unit so there are no unpleasant odours on-site.

The cylinder is usually rotated 1 minute every hour only. The biological process generates a temperature of 55-65 ^oC and this is why the energy consumption is low even if the machine is installed outdoors.

WHY US

OTHER COMPOSTER	PRATHAM COMPOSTER
Batch Process	Continuous Process
Need reloading of raw compost	Reloading of raw compost is not required
Separate Space for Curing. Raw Compost left open leading to emissions & odors	No Separate Space for Curing. All processes are completed in the machine. It is fully closed
High Electrical Consumption	Electricity requirement much lower
Too much handling of Food Waste and Raw Compost	Negligible Handling is required
High Skills required for odour control	High Temperature reactions kill odor and pathogens. As additional precaution, exhaust gases pass through activated carbon filter
High Maintenance cost	Negligible Maintenance cost
Cost of Operation: High	Cost of Operation: Low
