On-Site Food Composters
The smallest machine in the TMK range. It takes 50–60 kg of food waste a day — about 20 tonnes a year — and is sized for managed residential buildings, restaurants and smaller food manufacturers that have back-of-house space but no three-phase supply to spare.
The problem it solves
A single restaurant kitchen fills a 240-litre bin with wet waste faster than the collection round comes back for it. The bin sits in the yard, the yard smells, and the disposal cost is fixed no matter how little is in it.
One-touch, fully automatic operation. The machine senses composting status and controls the cycle itself, so nobody has to supervise it between loads. The process is noise-free and odour-free, and produces no harmful gases or by-products.
TMK-50 sits in the On-Site Food Composters family, rated at 50–60 kg per day (20 tonnes per year).
Features
Runs on AC 220 V / 50 Hz at a 2.3 kW maximum draw, so it can usually be connected without upgrading the kitchen panel.
Small enough to place in a back-of-house corridor or service yard rather than needing a dedicated plant room.
The controller senses composting status and provides feedback without constant human supervision.
Microbial technology reduces the waste volume by up to 90%, so what leaves the building is a fraction of what came in.
No crushing or grinding in the composting stage, and no harmful gases or by-products released during operation.
A 21–24 hour cycle turns wet waste into a nutrient-rich compost for horticultural use.

TMK rates it at 50–60 kg per day, which works out at about 20 tonnes a year of food waste diverted from landfill.
No. The TMK-50 is the single-phase machine in the range: AC 220 V, 50 Hz, with a maximum draw of 2.3 kW. The TMK-100 and everything above it need three-phase.
TMK publishes an average of 450–500 kWh per month. Multiply that by your local tariff and compare it against your current food waste collection contract.
The composting cycle runs 21–24 hours. Waste loaded at the end of service is compost by the same time the following day.
