Food Waste Composting for Food Processing Industry
At plant scale the waste stream is consistent in composition and enormous in volume. That is the easiest case for a machine to handle and the most expensive case to keep hauling.
What Goes Wrong Today
- Process residue is generated by the ton every shift
- Disposal cost scales directly with production volume
- Environmental pollution risk from large quantities of organic waste
- Carbon footprint reporting is tied to waste and transport
- Downtime in the waste line backs up the production line
What the Machine Has to Do
- Continuous industrial duty operation
- Tonnage capacity in a single machine
- Integrated deodorization for a site near other operations
- Remote readable control for a plant maintenance team
Machines That Fit This Sector
Sized on the busiest day rather than the average. If your figure sits between two models, take the larger one.
How It Is Actually Deployed
Food processing plant running a TMK-5000 as a continuous waste line
Port and maritime operation handling galley and cargo organics
Central kitchen or ready meal factory with a fixed daily residue
Agricultural processor handling seasonal peak volumes
From Separation to Offtake
Feed
Separated process residue is delivered to the machine with a lifting system on the larger models.
Heat
The TMK-5000 reduces waste through indirect heating by heaters while aerobic bacterial composting runs.
Deodorize
The machine is equipped with a deodorization unit so the exhaust is treated before release.
Offtake
Organic fertilizer output leaves at a fraction of the input volume and can be sold or applied to land.
What TMK Handles
In-house expertise for design, fabrication, supply, installation and commissioning
Machine capacity from 1 kg to 5 tons per day across 13 models
SS-304 composting chamber, shaft and blades on the TMK-1000
Stainless steel tank with a stated lifespan of over 20 years
PLC control with HMI touch screen, overload function and emergency stop
3 year factory warranty stated for the commercial range
Food Processing Industry Questions
What is the largest single machine
The TMK-5000 at 5000 kg per day, which is 1800 tons per year. It measures 6500 x 2936 x 3095 mm and weighs 5460 kg.
What is the connected load at that size
The TMK-5000 is specified at 25 KW on AC380V 60Hz. The TMK-2000 is specified at AC380V 60Hz 23 KW.
How is odour controlled on an industrial machine
The TMK-5000 is equipped with a deodorization unit, and the commercial range carries a fermentation and deodorization function as standard.
Can two machines run in parallel for more capacity
Capacity beyond a single unit is a project question. Send your daily tonnage and waste composition and TMK will quote the configuration.
