Commercial Composting Machines
A machine with a large appetite: one tonne of organic waste a day, 365 tonnes a year. TMK positions it for commercial buildings, large shopping centres, upscale hotels and convention centres.
The problem it solves
At a tonne a day, waste handling is a logistics problem. Bins have to be moved across the site, chilled storage is expensive, and every additional collection adds vehicle movements to a loading dock that is already busy.
A single 3,651 mm × 2,049 mm machine that takes the whole site’s organic stream. Because the cycle is 21–24 hours, the chamber empties on the same rhythm the building fills it.
TMK-1000 sits in the Commercial Composting Machines family, rated at 1,000 kg per day (365 tonnes per year).
Features
One tonne a day, every day — the figure sustainability reports are usually written around.
TMK states the machine is equipped with features that simplify the operating procedure for efficient waste reduction.
Plan the loading route and headroom before installation; the chamber sits above trolley height.
AC 380 V / 60 Hz, averaging 2,000–4,000 kWh per month depending on load and feedstock moisture.
Minimum 70 °C held for one hour for pathogen reduction of 97.3–99.99%.
The output is a nutrient-rich compost suitable for growing fruit, vegetables and flowers.

One TMK-1000 is rated at 1,000 kg/day against 600 kg/day for two TMK-300s, in a single footprint with one loading point and one control system.
Organic waste of plant or animal origin — expired food, spoiled fruit and vegetables, catering waste and similar streams.
2,800 kg. Confirm the floor loading of the intended room, particularly if the machine is going above ground level.
No. Operation is automatic once the waste is loaded; staff involvement is loading and removing finished compost.
