Household Composter
CR-5 Food Decomposer Machine
5 kg/day microbial food decomposer for small commercial kitchens
CR-5 is where the Creeks range crosses from appliance to equipment. It uses microbial aerobic fermentation - the same decomposition method as the commercial CR series - to convert 5 kg of food waste per day into organic fertilizer in 12 to 24 hours, with waste volume reduced by at least 85%. A 30 L composting chamber, UV and activated carbon deodorisation and fully automatic control make it suitable for small restaurants, cafeterias, hotels, offices, schools and large households that need a genuine composting process rather than a drying cycle.

What it solves
- Small kitchens that generate more waste than a countertop appliance can take but far less than a commercial composter
- Disposal costs and collection frequency that scale with wet, heavy waste
- Cooked food, meat and fish scraps that domestic units are not designed for
- Odour complaints from waste held on site between collections
Key benefits
- 5 kg/day processing capacity in a 30 L composting chamber
- Microbial decomposition producing organic fertilizer, not just dried residue
- 12-24 hour processing time - waste in today, output tomorrow
- At least 85% waste volume reduction
- UV and activated carbon deodorisation
- Fully automatic intelligent control with automatic fault alarm
- 0.5 kW rated power on a standard 220 V/50 Hz single-phase supply

Who it is for
Small restaurants, cafeterias, hotels, offices, schools and large households that need on-site composting at a 5 kg/day scale, on single-phase power, without a plant room.
Where it is used
- Small restaurants and cafeterias closing the loop on prep and plate waste
- Hotel back-of-house areas with limited space for waste storage
- Office canteens and school kitchens running a visible waste-reduction programme
- Large households and estates generating more than an appliance can handle
Quality control
Chamber welds, drive assembly and control board are tested before shipment, with a full no-load and loaded run to confirm the automatic cycle and fault alarm behave as specified. Every machine ships with its own specification sheet and commissioning notes.
Customisation
Power supply variants, brand marking and export packing are arranged per order. Bacteria supply and replenishment intervals are quoted with the machine so operators know the running cost before they commit.
How it is operated
- Install indoors at normal temperature, in a ventilated space
- Charge the chamber with the microbial medium at commissioning
- Load food waste through the day - raw or cooked
- The automatic cycle runs decomposition over 12-24 hours
- Draw off the organic fertilizer output on the schedule set at commissioning
- Check the fault alarm panel and deodorisation filters as part of routine maintenance
How it compares
CR-5 is the entry point to Creeks microbial composting. Below it, CR-1, CR-2 and CR-3 are drying-based household appliances. Above it, CR-10 takes 10 kg/day in a 50 L chamber and the commercial line runs to 100 kg/day at CR-100.
Frequently asked questions
How is CR-5 different from a household composter?
CR-5 uses microbial decomposition to produce organic fertilizer over 12-24 hours. The CR-1, CR-2 and CR-3 household units dry and grind scraps into a reduced dry output.
Can it take meat, fish and cooked food?
Yes. Anything edible - including fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, cheese, bread, rice and noodles - can go into the machine, raw or cooked.
What power supply does it need?
220 V, 50 Hz single phase at 0.5 kW rated power, so no three-phase supply is required.
How much space does it take?
570 x 380 x 700 mm and 65 kg, installed indoors at normal temperature in a ventilated area.
How much waste volume disappears?
At least 85% volume reduction, with the balance coming out as organic fertilizer.
Does it need bacteria added?
The microbial medium is charged at commissioning and replenished on the interval we quote with the machine.
What happens if something jams?
The fully automatic intelligent control raises an automatic fault alarm so the operator is told rather than finding out at the next load.
