EQUIPMENT TYPES
A few examples of the types of equipment we source and install for you…
These types of equipment come in many different models, brands, and capacities.
Only those that fit your specific needs and budget are recommended when equipment is necessary to meet your objectives, and may not be those shown on this page.
Dehydrators
Dehydrators process waste for medium to large food service facilities and institutions.
Compostable waste is dehydrated using an energy-efficient and automated process. Dehydrators are easy to install and maintain and require no freshwater connection. Paddles macerate the waste, heated by the unit’s storage chamber to kill bacteria, reducing the waste volume by up to 93%.
The resulting product is a dry, earthy material that may be used as an accelerant in composting. Combine with Pulper for a complete waste management system.

Pulpers
Pulping Systems offer maximum flexibility. Able to be connected to food prep and scrapping areas, the food service waste is mixed with water to create a pulpable slurry comprised of approximately 95% liquid and 5% solids.
The extractor removes the solids (pulp) and recirculates the water back into the grinding tanks. Pulpers reduce waste volume by an 8 to 1 ratio (87.5%) and can process 1250 pounds an hour. Available with The Grabber system to remove flatware and other ferrous metals from the pulping process.

In-Vessel Composters
In-vessel composters can take in 150 to 10,000 pounds of organic waste per day, depending on the specific type and size. The variety of in-vessel composters makes them a good choice for most end-to-end organic waste systems as they fit into almost any site.
The in-vessel composter is loaded daily with food and green waste or other carbon sources that remain in the machine for six to ten weeks. The aeration and turning are done automatically ensuring the natural decomposition process works perfectly from start to finish. The finished compost is fed into a bag or bin ready to be mixed with soil or transferred to a maturation bay.
The ventilation system makes it possible to eliminate bad odors. In many cases, the air from the machine is led into the sewage. When this is not possible the Biofilter is an excellent option for the treatment of odors generated by the composting process.
Low-Energy, Low Water Commercial Dishwashers
Commercial dishwasher technology has advanced to better optimize water and electrical use, providing substantial operational cost savings that can contribute to your overall energy and water reduction initiatives.
Machines come in a variety of models with capacities ranging from ,000 to 16,000 dishes per hour and water consumption as low as 48 GPH (gallons/hour). Options include one or two drying functions, having a final heater section and/or a blower function. The latter, when used alone, enables up to 25% energy savings.
Using a low-energy, low-water usage commercial dishwasher in combination with dishes, glasses, and flatware (vs. non-recyclable) plastic or paper products, will generate a healthy ROI, when factoring in the supply costs for those products, and reductions in waste hauling costs. It will also be another tactic in your toolkit to reduce your facility’s carbon footprint.
