What the TMK-10 Composter Does
The TMK-10 sits at the bottom of the commercial range and is the smallest machine with an automatic discharge device, which moves by-product out of the unit without anyone opening it. At 10 kg a day it covers the food waste of small restaurants, community schools and commercial institutions of about 50 people. The design is leak-proof and sealed, so there are no spills, no sticky residue and no route in for insects and rodents.
