Food Waste Composting for Hotels and Resorts
A hotel runs several kitchens, a banqueting operation and a landscaping team on the same site. That is an unusual position: the waste and the place it could be used are inside the same fence.
What Goes Wrong Today
- Banqueting produces waste in large irregular peaks rather than a steady daily flow
- Waste storage competes for space with deliveries on a busy loading dock
- Resorts in remote locations face long hauls and high transport cost per ton
- Guests notice odour and pests around back of house areas
- Sustainability reporting needs a number, not an intention
What the Machine Has to Do
- Capacity headroom for banqueting peaks
- A bin lifter so staff are not lifting wheelie bins by hand
- Compost the grounds team can actually use on site
- Machine data staff can read off a touch screen

Survey
Weigh the organic stream across a normal week and a banqueting week, since the peak sets the model.
Site
Place the machine near the dish return or on the waste dock, with power, ventilation and drainage available.
Load
Bin lifter tips 120 and 240 litre wheelie bins straight into the hopper on the larger models.
Reuse

Hotels and Resorts Questions
Can the machine handle banqueting peaks
Size on the peak day rather than the average. The machines take a continuous feed through the day, so a peak spreads across hours instead of arriving in one load.
Is a bin lifter available
Yes. The TMK-500 has a built-in bin lifter system, and the bin lift is an option on the TMK-300 for 120 and 240 litre wheelie bins. An automatic door opener is also offered on the commercial range.
Can we use the compost on our own grounds
The discharged product is a dried organic soil amendment and is commonly used for landscaping and gardening. What you can apply where depends on your local rules and on what went into the machine.
How is it monitored
The 100 kg and larger models carry WiFi, a touch screen and PLC control, so the cycle state is readable from the panel.
